Its been a while since anything really major came out from Atomic Mass Games, and ever since the Seattle-based company took over the reins of Star Wars from Fantasy Flight, there have been a few releases but nothing major, until now!
Just announced for 2023 is Star Wars: Shatterpoint, an all new squad based game that will seemingly do for Star Wars, what Marvel Crisis Protocol did for Marvel superheroes.

Star Wars: Shatterpoint Key Features
● Customize: Create a Star Wars squad that is truly unique with beautifully sculpted and dynamic miniatures of identifiable Star Wars 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 the Star Wars galaxy, like Ahsoka TanoTM and Bo-Katan KryzeTM, Lord MaulTM 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.
“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,” said Will Shick, director of product development at AMG. “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.

What this means for Star Wars Legion is as of yet unknown, though it is very likely that this game will exist side by side with Legion for the time being.
