Marble’s Marble is a new retro-inspired title from developer James Oliver under his Destined publishing label. The solo developer has described Marble’s Marble as “a modern love letter to classic arcade marble games”, and it’s due to roll out on Steam January 7th, 2026. The game uses traditional arcade tropes mixed with new ideas to bring “a nostalgic yet modern take on the classic marble‑rolling arcade games of the past”.

From the trailer, we can see there are many themed worlds with lots of different mechanics and obstacles to overcome. Marble’s Marble uses full controller support and has an adjustable camera so players can get a good look at the action. It also features some beautiful 8-bit pixel art graphics that make it look as though it could’ve been released on home computers in the 90s.

In a press statement, James Oliver said. “Every level aims to capture the charm of classic marble games while reimagining them with modern visuals and satisfying physics.”
