ICONIC21 opens Mythic Link with Monkey King

ICONIC21 has launched Mythic Link: Monkey King, the first game in its new Mythic Link series. Its main feature combines Free Spins with a Hold & Win round that can trigger during them.

The release is dated 8 September 2026. The game is built around the Monkey King from Chinese mythology.

Hold & Win inside Free Spins

In most slots those two bonuses are separate paths: you land Free Spins, or you land a Hold & Win round, not both at once. Monkey King nests them. During Free Spins, a Hold & Win round can still trigger, so the lock-and-respin bonus can run while the free-spin feature is already open.

That nested round is the Link mechanic the series is named for. The announcement names the combination. It does not say how often the inner round triggers, how the respins are counted, or what the nested round pays relative to a standalone Hold & Win.

Mythic Link is a multi-title collection on that shared foundation: Hold & Win / Link mechanics, with themes drawn from Asian mythology. Monkey King sets the template. Further entries will follow under the same banner. The announcement does not name those later titles.

Four jackpot tiers, no published values
