(Fingers crossed for a Baby Yoda miniature.) Last spring the game saw the addition of characters from animated Star Wars TV show Clone Wars, effectively doubling the number of factions.Įlements from recent Disney+ series The Mandalorian - which follows a Jango Fett-esque bounty hunter in-between the events of the original trilogy and The Force Awakens - will be added to Legion and X-Wing next year, Horvath announced, teasing that “content across multiple games built on Mandalorian season one and season two” will follow. Horvath added that “more variety” would be coming to miniatures game Star Wars: Legion, in response to players’ complaints that the ground-level skirmish title had lacked variety and factions since its launch in early 2018. “You’re going to see some new stuff next year and in 2022 and in 2023 on that side. In response to the suggestion that there had been an “under-serving” of Star Wars board games, Horvath confirmed upcoming board games based on the sci-fi franchise were in the works. “There is definitely more Outer Rim in the future,” Horvath said.

The board game was warmly received upon release for its open-ended gameplay, but saw criticism for the lack of variety in its mission and character cards. Horvath revealed that “there’s also big plans on the board and card game side” for Star Wars, including new content for last year’s Star Wars: Outer Rim - potentially hinting at an expansion for the sandbox exploration board game. Steve Horvath, head of publishing and president of Fantasy Flight parent company Asmodee North America, told Team Covenant in a video interview that Fantasy Flight has new releases for miniatures games Legion, X-Wing and Armada planned until the end of 2023. Fantasy Flight Games, the publisher behind Star Wars board games including X-Wing, Imperial Assault, Rebellion, Armada and more, has confirmed a slew of new Star Wars releases for the next three years.
