New ‘Star Wars: Shatterpoint’ Miniatures Game Announced by Asmodee
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 design and development of the Star Wars: Shatterpoint miniatures game is really our love letter to the excitement and energy of being a kid on Saturday mornings. We wanted to take all the great things about Star Wars—the action, the adventure, and the iconic characters—to create a Star Wars miniatures game experience that felt like it had come straight out of the animated lineups of the ’80s and ’90s. To say it was a dream come true to work with such a talented group of artists, sculptors, and our awesome team at Lucasfilm to create new versions of the iconic Star Wars cast in this style would be a complete understatement.”
The Star Wars: Shatterpoint game is developed by Atomic Mass Games in collaboration with Lucasfilm, and published by Asmodee.
