The Drone Kaiju Stretch Goal is very nearly unlocked, so in the lead up to the weekend we want to show you what's coming up next!
The Drone Kaiju is a miniature which features in one of the standout moments of Pacific Rim Uprising. We can’t wait to see this battling Jaeger on tabletops.
The Drone Kaiju expansion set will be available to add-on for £20.
It will also be included free in the Miracle Mile all-in pledge level, making it worth over £400 individually.
New 3 for 2 bundle!
The Victoria Harbour bundle contains Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon, and the deadly Otachi for them to face off against! This bundle is a great way to expand your Uprising or Extinction pledge with some famous first movie characters!
This bundle is available now!
Backers Goals: We’re closing in…
Below we’re going to release our final (planned) stretch goals for the campaign, but don’t think we’re done adding things into your pledge level.
In an earlier update we announced a new backer goal: when we hit 1225 backers (just a few more backers away!) we’ll include an exclusive Kickstarter Art print in with every pledge of Uprising and up. You can help get this unlocked by sharing Pacific Rim with your friends, and in return you’ll get yourself this exclusive print.
Knock this one over, and there may be more exclusive backer goals to come… let us know your ideas in the comments.
Until then…
Next Up
There’s now less than 7 days to go until Pacific Rim: Extinction closes on Kickstarter. With the Drone Kaiju goal unlocked and in true Pacific Rim style, we’re going big by revealing all of our final stretch goals. Though this is everything we had planned, if everything is unlocked we'll definitely look at new options!
NEW! £150,000 Stretch Goal: November Ajax Expansion Set
NEW! £160,000 Stretch Goals: Valor Omega Expansion Set
NEW! £170,000 Stretch Goal: Titan Redeemer Expansion Set
Each expansion set includes 1 painted miniature standing over 75mm tall, as well as 1 Conn-Pod, 6 Action Cards, 2 Rangers Cards and 2 Upgrade Cards.
Each model will be made available as an optional buy for £20, or you can pledge £40 for our 2035 Bundle which includes the Drone Kaiju and November Ajax, with Valor Omega free!
This bundle will become available when November Ajax is unlocked, but you can pledge now to help us reach that goal!
Not only that, but each expansion set will be added to the Miracle Mile All-in Pledge Level at no extra cost.
All this plus Raiju, Scunner, and Coyote Tango, with more to come! The Drone Kaiju is up next.
Should we hit these goals, this means that the Miracle Mile All-in pledge level will be worth over £460 individually! Remember that the Miracle Mile will only be available during the Kickstarter.
Don’t worry if you can’t go all in though, the full range will be available to get on the BackerKit and at retail.
Additional components available.
We've heard from backers that you would like more buildings, and additional components for playing the game. Well, now you can add buildings, dice, and a hex gauge to your rewards with these optional buys!
Take a look at the new Gipsy Avenger in fully painted glory!
This model will be replacing the Gipsy Avenger in the core set, with an awesome new pose.
And finally… Pacific Rim Rulebook Inbound!
We’ve had many requests to see the Pacific Rim: Extinction rulebook and learn more about the game and the mechanics. Well, tomorrow we’ll be releasing the work-in-progress version of the rulebook for your viewing pleasure.
Game Designer Rules Q&A this weekend:
Not only that, but one of the game designers, Alessio Cavatore, will be answering your rules questions on the River Horse Facebook page this Saturday (31st) 21:00 BST/16:00 EDT/13:00 PDT. Find our Facebook page here:
More details will be in tomorrow’s update – until then, let’s hunt down the Drone Kaiju, November Ajax, Valor Omega and Titan Redeemer!
New backer goal to unlock Free Art Print. Also, a new 3 for 2 ‘Reinforcements’ bundle!

– Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 11:11:20 PM
Hi all, today we’ve got a couple of exciting things to share. First up is a new ‘backer goal’! This goal will be unlocked when we reach 1225 backers, and the reward will be given to everyone who pledges for a core set or more (so £35 or higher)!
When we reach 1225 backers we’ll be including this beautiful art print with every single core set reward. This is also a Kickstarter exclusive item, and won’t be included in retail copies of the game.
This original artwork has been created specifically for Pacific Rim: Extinction
How can YOU help reach 1225 backers? We’re not far from this goal, but we’ll need your help to get us there! Sharing the campaign with your friends is a great way to help us reach our target.
Do you know anyone who loves Pacific Rim, miniatures games, or big robots and monsters? You can use this link to show them this campaign: http://kck.st/2FBhJaL
You can also follow and share our social media pages:
Of course, every backer also brings us closer to our next stretch goal, the Drone Kaiju, which will become available as an Optional Buy and also be added to the Miracle Mile pledge at no extra cost.
Please help us share Pacific Rim: Extinction with as many Pacific Rim and fans as possible!
Next, the ‘Reinforcements Bundle’.
We’ve updated the campaign with a new great offer, the Reinforcements Bundle, which includes the Raiju, Scunner, and Coyote Tango expansions all for £40. That means you get 3 expansions for the price of 2!
Raiju, Scunner, and Coyote Tango are included in the Reinforcements Bundle.
This bundle can be purchased by increasing your pledge by £40, and will be available in the pledge manager after the campaign.
For our Miracle Mile ‘All-in’ backers, the bundle has already been incorporated into the all-in offer, so you’re already getting these models at great value!
Kaiju headed for Tokyo! Map artwork and 2D object hexes revealed.

Hello to all our backers, we hope you’ve had a great weekend! With Pacific Rim: Uprising now in cinemas, it was really awesome to see the new Jaegers and Kaiju in action. What was your favourite ‘Uprising’ Jaeger or Kaiju?
Along with the new, we were excited to share the ‘Miracle Mile’ All-in pledge last Friday with a number of familiar faces as well, giving backers the chance of grabbing everything in one go, at a great price. Since we launched the Miracle Mile pledge on Friday, it’s already been upgraded with three expansions: Raiju, Scunner, and Coyote Tango!
All this plus Raiju, Scunner, and Coyote Tango, with more to come! The Drone Kaiju is up next.
When the next stretch goal is unlocked, the Miracle Mile pledge will also include the 'Drone Kaiju' expansion. We thought the Drone Kaiju were great in the new film, and this expansion makes a cool addition to any Kaiju force! You can also use more than one of them at the same time for a thematic team.
Not far to go!
Moving on...
Today we’d like to share something that is relevant to everyone, regardless of which pledge level you’re on: new artwork for the map and object hexes in the core set! First up, the map.
The field of battle where Jaegers and Kaiju will clash!
This map shows a city already wrecked by Jaegers and Kaiju, with scattered rubble and abandoned cars everywhere. Take a closer look below!
The map really comes to life when populated with the 3D skyscrapers and 2D scenery, objects, and buildings that come with the game. Today, we’ve got the ‘object hexes’ to show off.
These will be placed around the field of battle based on the type of scenario being played, and can be picked up and wielded by Jaegers and Kaiju. Whether you’re using a half-destroyed truck as a makeshift club, or using a train carriage as a projectile, these objects can be important in turning the tides of battle, and really capture that classic Pacific Rim feeling.
We have more new art to share with you this week, including the larger terrain pieces and 2D building hexes. When added together, they create an interesting and varied city for your Jaegers and Kaiju to destroy!
See you soon!

Phew!
So, who went and saw Pacific Rim Uprising yesterday and who is going to see it this weekend?
Yesterday we kicked off celebrations by unlocking a range of Kaiju and Jaeger expansions from Pacific Rim: Striker Eureka, Crimson Typhoon, Cherno Alpha, Otachi, Leatherback and Knifehead all made their appearance!
All of the individual optional Expansion Set add-ons are on the Kickstarter campaign page
Each of these optional expansion set add-ons come with their character sheets and cards meaning you can use them right away, and you can pick and choose which expansion sets you like for £20 each.
They are also included in the Miracle Mile all-in pledge level.
New Video: Early Development Stages
Check out Beast of War's interview with Jack and Alessio from River Horse Games to talk about the early development stages of Pacific Rim: Extinction.
Unlocked: Scunner!
Great work team, you've unlocked the titanic Kaiju Scunner!
This new expansion set will be available to add-on for £20 as an optional buy and will also be included free in the Miracle Mile pledge level!
How to add an optional buy to your pledge
If you want to expand your game with one or more of the optional buys, all you have to do is click on the “Manage Your Pledge” button on the Pacific Rim: Extinction Kickstarter page, which appears once you have made any pledge. Then increase your pledge by the total value of the expansions you would like to purchase.
For example, if you have pledged at the Uprising standard core set level (which is £35), and you would also like to receive the Saber Athena and Hakuja Expansions, you would click on the “Manage Your Pledge” button, and increase your pledge from £35 to £75 (£35+£20+20=£75).
Up next
Earlier in the campaign we produced a few stretch goals around expanding the gameplay in the core set and expansions with additional cards - would you like to see a few more goals like these? Let us know in the comments.
Until then though, we're going to continue on the trajectory of unlocking a few more expansions sets, going back to Pacific Rim Uprising for a a few more miniatures. There aren't many expansion sets left to unveil, so let us know who you are expecting to see in the comments.
NEW! £140,000 Stretch Goal - Drone Kaiju
To avoid spoilers, there's not much we can say here other than these are awesome! We're sure once you see the film that you will attest to this...
If we hit this stretch goal, we’ll produce the Drone Kaiju Expansion Set.
The set includes 1 Drone Kaiju – a painted miniature from the Pacific Rim Uprising, 1 Kaiju Signature, 6 Unique Action Cards, and 2 Kaiju Mutation Cards.
The Drone Kaiju will be available as an Optional Buy for you to add on to your pledge for £20:
The Drone Kaiju Expansion Set will also be included free in the Miracle Mile pledge level, which will will mean it is worth over £385 if you were to get the sets individually - it's getting better value all the time!
Thanks everyone for your support and here's to looking forward to an amazing end to this campaign.
Please help us spread the word by sharing Pacific Rim: Extinction on social media, discussing it in forums or just telling your mates at the local gaming club!

You can check out all of the new optional buys on the campaign page and follow the instructions there on how to add them on.
About Shipping Waves As mentioned previously, in order to deliver core sets and the first expansions to fans before Christmas, and have the retail release this year, we have broken down production into shipping waves. This enables us to spend more time on tooling and balancing the sets as well.
With so many expansions now unlocked, we're going to have a third shipping wave. Here's what ships when:
Wave 1 (estimated to ship in November 2018):
- Core Set
- Saber Athena
- Hakuja
- Gipsy Danger
- Gipsy Avenger Alternative Pose
- Obsidian Fury
Wave 3 (estimated to ship June 2019):
- Striker Eureka
- Knifehead
- All future expansions
Expansions from Wave 2 and Wave 3 will incur their own shipping charges, though we are doing everything we can to keep shipping as low as possible for all backers.
Fortune Favours The Brave, Dude
We hope you love all the new Jaeger and Kaiju on offer here and the incredible deal that is the Miracle Mile pledge level. Thanks for all of your support and feedback, we really appreciate it.
With 12 days left of the campaign, we'd better take a look at who is next, after Slattern...
If we hit this stretch goal, we’ll produce the Raiju ‘Kaiju’ Expansion. Raiju will be included free in the Miracle Mile All-In level and will be available as an Optional Buy for you to add on to your pledge.
The set includes 1 Raiju – a 75mm painted miniature from the Pacific Rim, 1 Kaiju Signature, 6 Unique Action Cards, and 2 Kaiju Mutation Cards.
