Atomic Mass Games announces the end of development for Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Wars: Armada

It should come as no surprise but Atomic Mass Games has announced that it is ending development on Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Wars: Armada.

Both of the miniature games have been on life support for some time with releases diminishing or non-existent.

Atomic Mass Games mentions rising production costs and challenges due to global manufacturing and the pandemic as reasons for the decision. They stated in the announcement that it is “increasingly difficult to produce high-quality, pre-painted miniatures.

Though development is ending, they are still supporting tournaments and Organized play for both games and the Open World Championship at AdeptiCon in March 2025. It’s unknown what might happen after that.

Atomic Mass Games took over the management development for X-Wing and Armada as well as Star Wars: Legion in 2020 from Fantasy Flight. Both companies are owned by Asmodee which itself was, until recently, owned by the embattled Embracer. The company in recent years also launched Star Wars: Shatterpoint, a non-pre-painted miniature game. Their initial launch game was Marvel: Crisis Protocol which brough Marvel’s characters to the tabletop in a miniature game.

The publisher has faced a lot of criticism after taking on the Star Wars games from Fantasy Flight. Some have said the company had too much on their plate and not enough resources to handle five miniature games. X-Wing and Armada have struggled for years in support. X-Wing especially took a hit when it updated its rules in 2022 that haven’t been well received. There was a point that Star Wars: X-Wing was one of, if not the top miniature game, challenging Games Workshop’s Warhammer.
