If you tune in to #SentinelsLive regularly, you know that on this week’s show we revealed two new stretch goals ahead of the launch this Friday! Why more stretch goals now? Let’s just say we want to give you mobile players something to shoot for. In addition to the “Sounds of Victory: Part 1” ($125k) and “Stories of the Multiverse” ($150k) we’ve revealed the following:
The Bloodsworn Arena - $170k
How many villains can you defeat in a row with the ultimate hero team? Make your own storyline with this randomized campaign mode and last as long as you can. Fans of the game have made several versions of this idea on the tabletop.
If we can reach this goal, Handelabra Games will create an “Arena Mode” for the video game. The details and options of the new mode will be worked out when we get to the design and development stage, and we’ll be getting your input at that time. Some ideas and options include a single fixed hero team with no HP recovery; a drafting mechanic where fallen heroes are replaced; ramping up difficulty with advanced and challenge modes; and more! No matter what, this new mode will keep you on your toes.
The Sounds of Victory: Part 2 - $185k
If we reach $185k, our very own Jean-Marc will create original theme songs for the 16 heroes from Season 2 and we'll release it as an album. But even better - Sentinels is all about working as a team, so let’s get it together musically! Jean-Marc will also create original theme songs for the teams of the Multiverse!
From Season 2: Setback, K.N.Y.F.E., The Naturalist, Parse, The Sentinels, Benchmark, Stuntman, Luminary, Akash’Thriya, Lifeline, La Comodora, The Harpy, Writhe, The Idealist, Mainstay, Doctor Medico.
Heroic Team-Ups: All the Freedom Teams, Dark Watch, Prime Wardens and more!
(All Kickstarter Backers and BackerKit Pre-Orders will receive a free copy.)
More?
If things go really well, we have some more stretch goals to reveal.. but we’ll see how it goes!
Season 2 Launch Tracking & Challenge
We’ll be keeping track of stretch goal status on a special page on our website. Be sure to tell your friends about the launch and mobile discount period!
Due to the nature of Kickstarter, and the differences between how Steam and the Mobile stores function, the vast majority of Season 2 funding so far has come from Steam players. This weekend is the time for mobile players to even the score! Along with the running total for stretch goals, we'll also be keeping track of the total funding coming from mobile and tracking how that compares with the amount raised from Steam players. Our challenge to mobile players is simple:
Meet or beat the Steam total, making mobile count for 50% or more of Season 2 funding!
It’s a tall order, but think of how much you want more music from Jean-Marc!
And don’t forget - if you have friends who want to get in on the backer-exclusives like the wallpaper pack and free soundtracks, remind them that they only have until 2 pm Eastern on Thursday, September 15th! Send them to BackerKit to Pre-Order now!
Season 2 Begins Friday September 16

It’s been just over 1 month since Sentinels of the Multiverse squeezed itself onto your smartphone. In that time, we’ve been hard at work and we’re are happy to announce that Season 2 officially begins next Friday, September 16th, 2016!
Season 2 encompasses all remaining content for Sentinels of the Multiverse, including Vengeance, Villains of the Multiverse, Mini-Pack 4, Void Guard, and OblivAeon. The first full expansion is Vengeance, which will be released later this year. But thanks to the more than 3000 backers who helped us fully fund Season 2 on Kickstarter and BackerKit, everyone will get to play some Season 2 content early with the Season 2 Preview Pack!
Beginning next Friday, a purchase of Season Pass 2 will get you access to the the following three decks to give you a taste of what’s to come:
Setback, the unluckiest hero who brings “a change from better to worse” from Vengeance
Chokepoint, the ferro-kineticist villain from Mini-Pack 4
The Temple of Zhu Long, a dark and mysterious environment from Villains of the Multiverse
Setback, Chokepoint, & The Temple of Zhu Long
Launch Day
Beginning Friday morning, version 2.1 of Sentinels of the Multiverse will begin going live across all stores and platforms. Watch our Twitter and Facebook for live updates on availability.* Once you update to the latest version, you will see Season Pass 2 in the store when you press “Get Expansion Packs.”
**FOR BACKERS**:Watch your email that day for instructions on how we will be delivering your keys! We’ll also be posting a Kickstarter update with redemption instructions.
Season Pass 2 will retail for $24.99 USD across all stores and platforms. However, thanks to the faithful Mobile backers who helped fund Season 2 via Kickstarter and BackerKit, Season Pass 2 will be discounted by $5 USD for the first 48 hours on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon Appstore.
Final Stretch Goal Push on Mobile
If you’re a new mobile player and missed the Kickstarter or Pre-Sale this summer, this is your chance to contribute! All sales of Season Pass 2 on mobile during the 48 hour Mobile Backer discount period will count toward the campaign stretch goals. We’re currently at $112,050 and the next two goals are well within reach! We will post updates about the stretch goals as we make progress, potentially including new stretch goals. The mobile stores typically don’t report official sales numbers until the following day, but we will be keeping track as best we can.
$125k goal: The Sounds of Victory Part 1
$150k goal: Stories of the Multiverse
Pre-Sales Ending
One final note - Season 2 Pre-Sales via BackerKit will remain open until 2 pm Eastern, Thursday September 15th. At that time, we will be performing the final lock-down and charging any remaining orders so that we can prepare everything for sending out on Friday. If you still haven't completed your survey, (and you know who you are), now would be a good time.
Thanks go out to everyone who helped make Season 2 a reality! We know you’re gonna love the new Hero, Villain and Environment in the Season 2 Preview Pack. Stay tuned in the coming months to our Twitter, Facebook, and mailing list for info on the next major expansion release: Sentinels of the Multiverse: Vengeance.
*Steam will launch no earlier than 12 pm Eastern (9 am Pacific). This also assumes the iTunes approval process doesn't get hung up, which can always happen.
Listening/Viewing Party This Friday, plus Pre-Sales closing soon

As part of the $75k Squish Goal™ back in May, we promised you retro listening parties for the music released before Shattered Timelines and Wrath of the Cosmos. As we have a limited amount of new music coming soon in the Season 2 Preview Pack, we figured, why not just smush that in with the next retro party? This Friday, September 9th at 1 pm Eastern on our Twitch channel, tune in to the Season 2 Preview Pack + Internal Relics, Retro-Futurist, Listening/Viewing Party!
We’ll be giving Infernal Relics the full treatment, along with your first listen to the upcoming music for Chokepoint and The Temple of Zhu Long. These parties are also a great way to check out the artwork from the game in all its glory, without that pesky card game always getting in the way. If you can’t make it live, we will be posting the party to our YouTube channel afterwards.
Pre-Sales ending soon!
Season 2 is right around the corner and so BackerKit Pre-Sales will soon be coming to an end. If you still want to pre-order anything from the campaign (and have your dollars count towards stretch goals!), now’s the time.
Challenge Modes Achieved - $110k Stretch Goal Unlocked!
over 8 years ago
– Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 05:31:17 PM
It’s one of the most requested features and thanks to you, it is now coming to the video game - Villain Challenge Modes. The total Kickstarter + BackerKit funding has crossed $110k to unlock this stretch goal!
Take on every villain in the game, but with a new twist specific to that villain! Can you defeat Citizen Dawn when she retaliates for the death of a citizen? How about an Akash’Bhuta that is immune to Environment AND Villain damage? Or Kaargra Warfang when her gladiators are granted titles automatically? Or even Spite with no maximum HP? You can read about all of them in the official Challenge Mode PDF here (20 MB).
Challenge Mode can be combined with Advanced Mode for an even more ridiculous confrontation! Think Baron Blade is a pushover? How about a Baron Blade who discards extra cards every turn AND whose Impulsion Beam doesn’t get disarmed when he flips? All these challenges and more are now officially funded and on their way to Sentinels of the Multiverse: The Video Game…
...and the Weekly One-Shots will never be the same!
Sentinels Released on Smartphones, Mobile Wallpaper Pack, and Stretch Goal Update!
over 8 years ago
– Tue, Aug 09, 2016 at 11:19:55 PM
Sentinels of the Multiverse was released for Android smartphones, iPhone, and iPod touch last Thursday. The response so far has been fantastic! Geek & Sundry called Sentinels one of “3 New iOS Board Game Apps You Oughta Play.” We’ve even been hearing that many people like the new portrait layout so much that they now prefer playing on their phone instead of their tablet or PC.
.
If you haven’t yet picked up a copy on your phone, remember that the game, as well as ALL currently available expansions are still on sale for another couple days. There’s never been a better time to start saving the Multiverse. The following pricing is in effect on iTunes, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore through this coming Thursday, August 11th:
Sentinels of the Multiverse: The Video Game - $2.99 (regular price $9.99)
Season Pass 1 - $17.99 (regular price $24.99)
Rook City, Infernal Relics, Shattered Timelines, Wrath of the Cosmos - $3.99 (regular price $4.99)
Mini-Packs 1, 2, and 3 - 99¢ (regular price $1.99)
As mentioned before, as of this release, Sentinels of the Multiverse is a Universal App. This means that you can install it on your phone and tablet without having to buy it more than once (within the same platform & store). The same applies to your DLC. Tell your friends!
Mobile Wallpaper Pack
Now that everyone is playing Sentinels on the mega-computers in their pockets, we thought it was high time to give you the mobile-sized wallpapers we promised to complete the experience. If you backed at a MOBILE reward level, or added the $5.01 add-on to your pledge, head over to your BackerKit dashboard to download your free mobile wallpaper packs now!
These wallpapers have been specifically designed for your phone, phablet, or tablet to look great with or without perspective, and in both portrait or landscape (for devices that rotate wallpapers). If you didn’t back at one of those levels but still want the wallpapers, it’s not too late! You can still add $5.01 to your pledge via BackerKit (or tell your friends to Pre-Order) to not only get access to the wallpapers but also help us reach…
Stretch Goals!
As of this writing, we are less than $500 away from achieving the New Challenges Await stretch goal!
The total raised so far across Kickstarter and BackerKit is the following:
$97,325 + $12,263 = $109,588
Every dollar sold through BackerKit is counted towards stretch goals and it seems pretty safe to guess that we’ll crack $110k pretty soon. After that, it’s on to the Sounds of Victory, and more amazing music from your friend and mine, Jean-Marc.
But remember, it’s not just your dollars that count. We’re also keeping a running tally of how many Mobile Backers we have and this number will determine the length of the Season 2 discount period. To refresh your memory, during the campaign we reached 500 Mobile Backers, thus unlocking a 24 hour discount period where Season Pass 2 will be $5 off (to cover the $5 you pledged). For each additional 500 backers, we’ll extend the discount by another 24 hours. We currently sit at 928!
Now that there’s several thousand new players saving the Multiverse on their phones, we think it should be pretty easy to get the less than 75 more Mobile Backers needed to extend the discount to 48 hours. Since sales of Season Pass 2 on mobile during the discount period will also count toward stretch goals, that would mean we’ll make even more progress!
If you are already locked down in BackerKit, but want to add a Mobile Add-On to your pledge, just send us a message here on Kickstarter and we’ll unlock you so that you may do so. To send a message, click the View pledge button then click Messages.
