Mantic Games readies Halo: Flashpoint

Mantic Games is launching Halo: Flashpoint, a tactical miniatures game set in the universe of the Halo video game franchise.

Designed for two players, Flashpoint features pre-assembled miniatures in red and blue teams, with battles offering ‘innovative gameplay, challenging combat and creative thinking’.

“It’s a dream come true to bring the fast-paced action of the Halo universe to life on tabletop with our partners at Microsoft,” said Ronnie Renton at Mantic Games.

“Flashpoint is enjoying a truly fantastic reception already, and fans can look forward to organised play, new releases, and some very exciting surprises in 2025. In fact, I think we’re just getting started.”

John Friend, Head of Xbox Gaming Consumer Products, added: “Seeing the passion and consideration that Mantic have put into this collaboration, we know the Halo franchise is in great hands. We’re always thrilled to see a strong response from the Halo community for the amazing products our partners create.

The game has seen unprecedented demand on pre-order, with a second printing already planned for early 2025.

Indiana Shirley from Beanstalk, the licensing agency for Microsoft that brokered the partnership between Mantic and Halo, added: “Mantic has done an incredible job of bringing Halo’s multiplayer gameplay into the tabletop space.

“As a Halo fan, it’s been a joy seeing the two being brought together, and players can really appreciate the care and dedication Mantic have shown in staying true to the franchise. We can’t wait for the game launch and the many exciting things to come in 2025!”

Halo: Flashpoint lands in US stores on November 16th and will be available in the UK and across Europe from November 30th.
