Dear Masters,

As you know, we've been stoked about bringing Minion Masters to mobile and are working hard to make it happen. However, we have some big changes to announce today.


Due to factors outside of our control, our mobile publishing partnership on Minion Masters ended before it got properly underway. We would like to be clear that, despite it being an obvious conclusion, the difficult start of the 2.0 prologue is not the reason for this. We have had a great partnership that we were very happy with while it lasted, and are parting ways amicably.

In better news, since we have now taken sole ownership of Minion Masters on mobile platforms, we have found a path that - in our opinion - provides an even better game. Since we are now free to make decisions previously closed to us, we will not only feature full cross-play between all platforms but ALSO cross-save between PC and mobile, something we were not in a position to do before.

Microsoft regulations make that quite difficult, unfortunately, so we will not initially support cross-save on Xbox. We hold out hope that we can down the line. 💪

We begin by releasing on Android, and if that goes well, we will explore an iOS release later.
We want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your continued support and enthusiasm for Minion Masters.

Search for “Minion Masters” on the Google Play Store!!

Last note: Due to some publishing issues, we were not able to beta-test the game as thoroughly as we wanted. Please let us know if you encounter any issues 🙏

Masters,

As many of you know, our journey with version 2.0 hasn't been without its challenges. We've faced a lot of bumps along the road. We keep saying this, but your feedback has been invaluable, and we’ve been very hard at work addressing the issues that were raised after the release of version 2.0 Prologue.

We (rightly) suffered from a spike of negative reviews on Xbox and Steam because of that.
The team is proud of what they achieved in a very short period of time. Some events, like the Xbox Certification issues, didn’t make things easier.

We’ll soon publish the 2.3 updates, and we want to know what you think of the current state of the game (Stormtamer aside 👀). If you are now more satisfied with the state of the game, we would like to kindly ask you to consider updating your review. Your updated reviews will not only help us gauge our progress but also assist potential new players in making informed decisions about joining our community.

Of course, we still have a lot of things we plan to fix and update in the upcoming weeks, along with big news (more info on it very soon). So stay tuned for more 💪
