About the Future of Minion Masters

With this update, we are adding what we believe is almost the final batch of new content to Minion Masters. The final content patch (2.9) will be released next month.

Minion Masters did great for a long time, but now is no longer profitable and cannot sustain further development. Our 2.0 update didn’t perform as hoped, and while we explored various options to revitalize the game, including an Android release and the alternate Masters’ perks feature, none of them managed to keep the game profitable.

Throughout this journey, we’ve remained committed to providing a fair and enjoyable experience for all players. We consciously chose not to adopt aggressive monetization tactics, prioritizing your trust and the integrity of the game over short-term gains.

However, this is not the end of Minion Masters!

The game will remain live, and we’re thrilled to give you guys a direct role in shaping its future. Starting next November, we’ll roll out monthly balance updates based on your votes. We’ll share more details about how it will work in the upcoming weeks, as well as additional information about other topics, like moderation and any other changes.

You’ll have the power to decide which cards should be buffed or nerfed, keeping the game dynamic and aligned with your preferences. ALL revenue generated will go directly to sustaining the servers and keeping the game live.

We have prepared an FAQ with general questions you might have. You can access it here: https://bit.ly/3TAaZld

We've shared an incredible journey with you. Together, we’ve built an amazing world, lived epic (and stressful) moments, and released more than 260 cards. During those several years, your passion and dedication have been the lifeblood of this game. While our role in creating new content may be coming to an end, the heart and soul of Minion Masters will always belong to you.
