Exhibit 99.1
GCL Announces the PC Release of ‘Island of Hearts’ – A First-Person FMV Romantic Adventure Filmed on Location in Phuket, Thailand
Featuring seven prominent social media influencers in Asia, the branching narrative experience blends full-motion video, player-driven dialogue, and original mini-games in an all-new interactive entertainment experience.
SINGAPORE – March 26, 2026 – GCL Global Holdings Ltd (Nasdaq: GCL) (“GCL” or the “Company”), a leading provider of games and entertainment, today announced that its publishing subsidiary, 4Divinity Pte. Ltd. (“4Divinity”) and creator-led branded content production subsidiary Titan Digital Media, will release “Island of Hearts” on PC tomorrow via Steam, priced at $13.49 / €13.49 / £12.24, with a limited-time 10% launch discount available.
About “Island of Hearts”
Set against the backdrop of a luxury island resort on Phuket, Thailand, “Island of Hearts” places players in the role of a protagonist fresh from personal upheaval (recently unemployed and newly single) who arrives seeking a fresh start. Surrounded by ocean vistas, golden beaches, and an ensemble cast of compelling characters, the player must navigate branching conversations, explore new environments and overcome a series of mini challenges, leading to potentially different narrative consequences.
The main cast features seven popular female content creators in Asia, supported by additional cameo appearances from the wider Titan Digital Media creator network known for their YouTube comedy content. Conceived as a hybrid of an interactive game and a serialised video drama, ”Island of Hearts” represents the Company’s ambitious venture into live-action interactive entertainment.
"This was a natural partnership for our gaming and video production units," said Sebastian Toke, Group CEO at GCL. "’Island of Hearts’ sits at the intersection of narrative gaming and social video. It's a compelling format that we believe speaks directly to the audience who loves both. Every conversation has the potential to spark chemistry or to go spectacularly off course. Our cast of characters are central to the experience, and to its appeal."
The title enters a rapidly expanding segment of the gaming market. FMV (full-motion video) games, which use live-action footage as their primary medium, have experienced a resurgence in recent years, driven by growing consumer appetite for character-driven, choice-based storytelling. “Island of Hearts” builds on this momentum with a production scale and influencer-led casting strategy designed to reach the audience across gaming and digital media alike.
Key features include a branching dialogue system in which players’ choices affect how the story ends; a fun collection of mini-challenges and a light-hearted romantic comedy tone designed for broad audience appeal. It also features a full Mandarin Chinese dub alongside the original English performances.
Exclusive Merchandise Available
Alongside the digital release of the title, fans can celebrate in style with three exclusive physical merchandise bundles, available now for pre-order at the official website www.iohgame.com. Each bundle includes a Steam game code plus a selection of collectable items, perfect for players looking to bring a piece of the island home:
| 1. | Collector Bundle: Game Code + Calendar + Mousepad + Postcard Set |
| 2. | Fan Bundle: Game Code + Mousepad + Postcard Set |
| 3. | Supporter Bundle: Game Code + Postcard Set |
“Island of Hearts” will be available tomorrow on Steam with a limited-time 10% launch discount. Whether you’re searching for romance, curiosity, or a little chaos, your journey to paradise begins today. Just remember, on this island, every choice has a heart.
