Sanctuary is an RTS set on the surface of a Dyson Sphere and features some cool new mechanics: 

🔥  SHATTER THE LAND - Split the earth with superweapons and watch your enemies plummet into radiant sunlight.

❄️  FREEZE THE SEAS - Destroy atmospheric cryotanks to snap freeze the map, immobilizing ships and allowing your tanks to cross water.

🚨   TITAN LEVEL THREAT DETECTED - Setting a new benchmark for just how big units can get in an RTS, few players will get to build a T5 Titan, and even fewer will survive fighting one.

Today is the last day for our Kickstarter and last chance to be in on the beta before Early Access.

Commanders, see you on the Battlefield!

THREE MULTIPLAYER PLAYTEST SESSIONS. GET ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

We're halfway through the Kickstarter campaign and the response has been excellent, so we're marking the milestone the best way we know how: by throwing open the multiplayer servers again.

Our previous playtest sessions have been incredible, and by popular demand we're running THREE more limited sessions before the campaign closes. Whichever side of the world you're on, there should one you can attend.

Each session opens with a couple of hours of Q&A with the dev team and the community. To take part you'll need to be in our Discord. Head to the Stage channel at the session start time for a chance to get your questions answered. The multiplayer servers will be opened automatically at the start of the session.

We're back on track — Kickstarter & Demo launch Tuesday 21st July

After the Steam review delay, we've got a confirmed date: Kickstarter and the free Demo both go live Tuesday 21st July. Check the image for your timezone.

New at launch:

• Two new T5 Titan units
• New trailer
• New playable mission
• Fresh Shatter footage

Earlybird pledges get discounts, including on the multiplayer-access tier, so it's worth grabbing early if that's the one you want.

We're also running a launch event on our Discord, starting 1 hour after the Kickstarter goes live. Come hang out with the devs, ask questions, or jump into multiplayer with us, we'll be playing games together that day, so be there if you want in.

Discord: discord.com/invite/sanctuaryshatteredsun

We're rescheduling the Kickstarter launch. Our Steam demo build is currently with Valve for review, and that's not something we can speed up on our end.

We expect the delay to be around one week, with two weeks as the absolute maximum. We'll confirm the new date the moment the demo is approved.

Thanks for your patience! We know this is frustrating after all the buildup, but everything else is ready: the demo itself, a new trailer, all the reward tiers, fresh Shatter footage, voice acting, and videos from creators who've been playing early. We're ready to go the second Steam gives us the green light.

The best way to stay up to date while we wait on this is our Discord, we'll post the new date there first: https://discord.gg/sanctuaryshatteredsun
