LONDON, UK – Mantic Games, an independent tabletop games studio, has announced the highly anticipated launch of Halo: Flashpoint, the officially licensed tactical miniatures game set in the universe of the renowned Halo sci-fi video game franchise.

Designed for two players, Flashpoint brings Halo’s legendary War Games combat arena to tabletops, featuring iconic troop types, weapons, and game modes from the Halo franchise. The game is easy to pick up, challenging to master, and rewards cool thinking under fire.

Flashpoint features pre-assembled miniatures in red and blue teams, bringing a tactical experience where positioning and movement are key. Each battle offers a unique combination of 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 organized 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, says, “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.”

In the build up to its full launch at retail, Halo Flashpoint has seen unprecedented demand on pre-order, with a second printing already planned for early 2025. This initial wave’s success reflects the excitement among fans of both Halo and tabletop games alike.

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

The Halo: Flashpoint game rolled out in U.S. stores on November 16th and will be available in the UK and across Europe from November 30th. For more information, visit: haloflashpoint.manticgames.com
