A new Halo game is on the way — though it’s coming to tabletop instead of Xbox or PC. UK company Mantic Games will partner with 343 Industries to produce a new Halo tabletop miniatures game.
Halo tabletop game launches in September, preview in March
Mantic announced the Halo tabletop game in a post on the company’s blog last week. The company did not reveal anything specific about the upcoming miniatures game, which launches in September. However, Mantic has a preview of the game coming in March.
“We are thrilled to team up with Mantic Games to bring a new Halo tabletop game to fans in 2024,” said Xbox Consumer Products lead John Friend. “Mantic is a leader in tabletop gaming, and their quality and experience show through in all their 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.”
Mantic founder and CEO Ronnie Renton also commented on the partnership.
“We’re extremely excited to be partnering with 343 Industries on bringing Halo to tabletops everywhere,” he said. “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. 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.”
Founded in 2008, Mantic is not the biggest name in tabletop gaming. However, it has a reputation for both quality and affordability. It specializes in small-unit tabletop games comparable to Warhammer 40K: Kill Team, Necromunda, and Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone. These typically involve players controlling smaller squads rather than the larger armies of games like Warhammer 40K. The new Halo tabletop game will likely be similar.
