Steam Wishlisting has arrived, More Developer Previews, plus Early Access Clarification
Wishlists The store page for Sentinels 2 is now live on Steam! Head to Steam now to add the game to your wishlist to be notified when it launches!
More Previews John showed off the latest build of Sentinels 2 live on stream yesterday. Check it out here to see all the latest visual enhancements coming together. We'll be previewing even more in the coming weeks!
Developer preview, subject to change.
Early Access There has been some discussion/confusion about Steam Early Access and how and when everyone will get to play the game, so we wanted to clarify that nothing has changed with regards to our release plan, other than the fact that it was delayed while the GTG/Sentinels acquisition played out.
Sentinels 2 will be released this year (2026) on Steam through the Early Access Program.
Any Steam Keys purchased and delivered through this campaign or pre-order will be delivered on or before this first public release of the game.
Your Steam Key will not expire or become invalidated in any way when the Early Access period finishes and the game enters the Retail launch phase (aka 1.0).
What is Early Access? Steam Early Access is a great way to get a game in front of a wider audience, and get feedback from the general public to help us make it the best game it can possibly be. A game in Early Access is under active development and it will be updated regularly.You can think of it as a step between Beta and Retail release. There will be bugs, and some content is currently not available, but the game is much further along than what you might see in a Public Beta (see Steam's Early Access FAQ for more).
We use Early Access for most of our games, for lots of different reasons, and the feedback the process permits has made our games better in the long run.
The features and content available at Early Access launch will be a subset of the final 1.0 version, and everything will be added along the way during the Early Access period. Details about that will be forthcoming as we get closer to launch.
If you prefer, you're welcome to wait and play the game once the Early Access period finishes and we consider the game ready for retail launch. It's up to you!
The private beta program is currently underway and is unrelated to Early Access. Private beta testers are testing pre-release builds with new features and content before they are publicly available in any way.
Last week, we showed off a playable build of Sentinels of the Multiverse 2 for the first time! In case you missed it, you can watch it on YouTube!
But that's not all! We will continue to preview the game each week on Handelabra Live on Twitch, every Tuesday at 3 PM Eastern time, including today. There are plenty of heroes, villains, and environments to see, along with new features and improvements as we march toward the Early Access launch.
Sentinels 2 is coming to Steam Early Access later this year, and to retail and mobile in 2027.
If you haven't backed or pre-ordered: this is your last chance to pre-order Sentinels 2!
We're celebrating 12 years of Sentinels Digital, now through October 26th, at which time we will turn off pre-ordering, and charge any pending orders.
A pre-order here gets you a Steam Key (delivered upon first Early Access release, this year) and a free copy of the soundtrack when it launches in 2027. Plus you get to know that ALL your money is supporting us directly and not going to a platform holder.
We're excited to finally show you what we've been hard at work on for so long! On Handelabra Live today, John will be showing off the very first public play through of a development build of Sentinels of the Multiverse 2.
We know it has been a while since our last update, so we'e here to touch base. Progress steadily marches on, and we're excited to show you what Jean-Marc's been cooking up. Without further ado, here is a musical taste of the Multiverse from the maestro himself!
In honor of Superhero Day 2026, Handelabra is excited to announce a new venture aimed at further securing the future of Sentinel Comics. Sentinel Comics Media Holdings, a new company, will handle all licensing for the Sentinel Comics games, brand, characters, stories, and settings. This structure will allow Handelabra to continue its mission of making the best digital tabletop games without diluting what we do best.
And speaking of our digital tabletop games: we have received a number of requests to open pre-orders of Sentinels 2 for those who missed the original campaign. Request Granted!
Sentinel Comics Media Holdings will also be working with a new partner in the tabletop space to breathe life back into the cardboard Multiverse. Expect more information on the Sentinel Comics RPG, as well as more Definitive Edition news very soon!
Beyond Games?
Our hope is that this structure will allow Sentinel Comics to become much greater than gaming and allow even more interesting explorations of the Multiverse across other media. Podcasts? Comic Books? Streaming? Movies? Why not!
Handelabra Buys Sentinel Comics® and Greater Than Games® Brand
Happy April Everyone! You read that right, and it’s not a late April Fool’s Joke - after nearly a year of negotiation, we are happy to announce that Handelabra now owns Sentinel Comics®, including the basis for this game: Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition, as well as the brand Greater Than Games®.
Devastating Aurora
When the Greater Than Games team was mostly dismantled in April 2025, it put the future of this game in question. Yes, we technically still had everything we would need to make Sentinels of the Multiverse 2, and even the first expansion, Rook City Renegades, but what about beyond that? We had been planning a future for Sentinels 2 that would be at least as long as Sentinels 1. Plus - our development process has always been a collaborative one, what were we to do without many of our key collaborators?
Conservation of Energy
While development on Sentinels 2 has never fully stopped, we slowed it way, way down while we considered how to proceed. Among the options were canceling the game entirely, and refunding you all as best we could. But the best option would be if Flat River Group would be willing to sell Sentinels/Greater Than Games to us. You know how we feel about transparency, but this is one of those situations where we really had to be publicly silent - legally and explicitly - until we were confident of the outcome, which we now are.
Aegis of Resurrection
In February 2026, Sentinels 2 development ramped back up, and the game is still expected to ship in calendar 2026.
For you on this campaign, that is the most important information you need to know. But we know that most of you are not just Digital Sentinels fans. So what does this mean for the tabletop?
Greater Than Games - The Brand
Handelabra and Flat River Group have closed a deal that brings all Sentinel Comics properties under the Handelabra umbrella. But in addition, we have purchased the brand “Greater Than Games”.
An important note because we know you will ask - the ONLY games that are a part of this deal are Sentinel Comics related properties:
Sentinels of the Multiverse (All Editions)
Sentinel Comics RPG
Sentinel Tactics (et al)
Sentinels Miniatures
Galactic Strike Force (yes really, it’s canon!)
Is Handelabra becoming a tabletop publisher?
Handelabra is a Digital Tabletop company. We make Digital Tabletop games. We primarily wanted to buy Sentinel Comics to protect that business, but these are tabletop games to start, and we are not interested in becoming a tabletop publisher. But lucky for us, we know a lot of good people who are good at exactly that type of business...
The Future
April 28th, 2026 is National Super Hero Day in the US. For the entire month of April, we’ll be celebrating the future of Sentinel Comics, and by the end of the month – National Super Hero Day – you will have the answers to so many of the questions we know you have about the next movement in the symphony that is “Greater Than Games”.
For your ongoing support and excitement, we remain eternally grateful. We just ask for a little more patience over the coming weeks as we have lots to share, and we can’t wait to embark on the next phase of this journey with you!
