Fans have been holding their breath since April 2025, when Greater Than Games dismantled most of its team and the future of Sentinels of the Multiverse 2, Handelabra's digital sequel already funded through BackerKit, went dark. Handelabra considered cancelling the project and refunding backers. Instead, the studio spent months working through the legal process to buy the IP outright.

One important detail: Handelabra is a digital games studio and has no plans to become a tabletop publisher. Physical products will be handled through partnerships with experienced publishers, though no names have been confirmed yet.
Handelabra is celebrating throughout April, with major announcements promised for National Super Hero Day on 28 April. For the cooperative card game community that has rallied around Sentinels since 2011, the franchise is back in hands that clearly care about it.
