    Asmodee and Atomic Mass Games have partnered to create Star Wars: Shatterpoint, a new miniatures skirmish game that will be released in June 2023.



    The new game empowers players to alter the fate of the galaxy, from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim, as they will build and command a strike team composed of iconic Star Wars characters, and pit them against each other in exciting battles.



    Check out its trailer here:







    Here are some of the game's key features from Asmodee:


    • Customize: Create a Star Wars squad that is truly unique with beautifully sculpted and dynamic miniatures of identifiable characters that are ideal for dedicated hobbyists and new painters alike.
    • Strategize: The Shatterpoint game’s fun and flexible squad-building experience invites players to create custom strike teams optimized to complete the various mission objectives. Players can choose thematic squads straight from a galaxy far, far away, like Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan Kryze, Lord Maul and his loyalist super commandos, or mix and match their favorite characters to form the custom squads they want to play.
    • Battle: In the Shatterpoint game, players use their characters’ special abilities and diverse combat skills to control the flow of battle as they race against each other to complete dynamically evolving mission objectives.


    Will Shick, director of product development at AMG, said in a statement:



    The Star Wars: Shatterpoint game is developed by Atomic Mass Games in collaboration with Lucasfilm, and published by Asmodee.

    Nice to see a clearly PT focused game and the mini's look reasonable too. Can't help thinking that it'll be a wallet breaker like Imperial Assault though where you get 1 or 2 'key' characters in the core set (likely Maul and Ahsoka) and then anyone else you care to play as comes in cash grab add-on packs. I'll wait and see when it releases.

    I take this to be a competitor to the 'Kill Team' type of downscaled miniatures wargame that we've been seeing lately. This will be the third of these I've seen. Since it seems to be a successful genre of the miniatures gaming scene, I'd say 'why not?' However, what I really want to see is if there will be scenery / terrain / landscapes available as well. I want to see really good indoor environments that can be built different ways, even starship interiors. Will that be a thing in this game - that is, supplied by the manufacturer?
