Halo Miniatures Combat Game Announced by Mantic Games and 343 Industries

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Mantic Games, a renowned UK-based tabletop studio, has joined forces with 343 Industries to unveil an exciting new addition to the Halo universe: a brand-new Halo miniatures combat game.

Scheduled for retail release in September 2024, this eagerly anticipated game promises to immerse Halo enthusiasts in exhilarating Spartan battles brought to life through intricately designed miniatures. Whether you’re a seasoned tabletop veteran or a newcomer, get ready for an unparalleled gaming experience that captures the essence of Halo’s multiplayer combat.

John Friend, Head of Halo and Xbox Consumer Products expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to team up with Mantic Games to bring a new Halo tabletop game to fans in 2024. Mantic is a leader in tabletop gaming, and its quality and experience show through in all its work. I’m most excited in this case about their passion for the Halo franchise and for bringing Halo gameplay to tabletop gaming in an incredibly authentic way.”

Ronnie Renton, CEO and founder of Mantic Games, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the unique connection players will feel to the action. “Having a firefight play out on the table while moving Spartans in and out of cover connects players to the action in a new and special way,” Renton remarked. “We have a thrilling and competitive game, from a passionate team of talented sculptors, artists, and designers who have been building an incredible Halo experience.”

A Glimpse into the Future

While details remain scarce, the announcement hints at a small-unit skirmish game featuring 28mm-scale or larger miniatures. This places it squarely in the competitive arena alongside established titles like Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team and Star Wars: Shatterpoint. With Mantic Games and 343 Industries at the helm, expectations are high for a game that will undoubtedly leave its mark on the tabletop gaming world.

A Franchise Steeped in Tabletop History

Halo’s foray into the tabletop realm isn’t entirely new. The franchise boasts a history of licensed board games and even dabbled in miniatures wargaming in the past. However, this new collaboration with Mantic promises a fresh and innovative take on bringing the Halo universe to life on the tabletop.

Halo’s venture into tabletop gaming marks a significant milestone for the franchise, drawing upon its rich history and dedicated fan base. As excitement mounts, gamers around the globe eagerly anticipate the opportunity to engage in epic Spartan battles like never before.
