Halo: Flashpoint is an upcoming tabletop strategy game produced by Mantic Games in conjunction with 343 Industries and Microsoft. The game is set for release in Fall 2024.[1] Unlike the previous Fleet Battles and Ground Command miniatures games, Flashpoint is focused on Spartan and Elite battles similar in nature to Halo multiplayer.[2][3]
Overview
Flashpoint is a skirmish-scale wargame with a focus on small teams and fast, easy to pick-up-and-play gameplay. As such, the game consists of preassembled plastic miniatures that can be manually painted, although the Spartan Edition box includes two teams in red and blue plastic by default to allow for easy play. Each miniature consists of a SPARTAN-IV clad in one of the various multiplayer armours available for use in Halo Infinite, each equipped with one of the weapons useable in Halo Infinite and given a dedicated stats card.[3]
Gameplay involves the use of D8 dice alongside some custom D6s. As per Halo multiplayer, upon death, a given character can be respawned back onto the field at one of a number of respawn points - albeit with reduced abilities.[3]
Terrain is present in the form of pre-printed cardboard punch-out structures including things like barricades, shipping crates, and towers, to allow for a 3D playing field.[3]
Development
Flashpoint was first teased at the start of 2024 in a cryptic announcement,[2] followed by a full title reveal in March of that year.[1] The game was later debuted at GAMA Expo with some prototype units showing off early box art and miniatures,[3] with a full reveal set for Adepticon at the end of March. The Adepticon reveal will coincide with a dedicated website launch for Flashpoint.[1]

Editions
At launch, Halo: Flashpoint will have two editions: Spartan Edition and Recon Edition. The former comes with two teams of four Spartan miniatures in red and blue plastic, allowing players to pick up and play the game without any need to build or paint miniatures. Future expansions to the game will feature Elite models.[3]
