New Halo: Flashpoint Video Shows How The Tabletop Game Came To Life

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that Halo: Flashpoint has piqued my interest like never before. Being a long-time fan of the Halo franchise and an avid tabletop game enthusiast, this upcoming release seems to be a match made in heaven for me.


As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled about the latest sneak peek Mantic Games has given us on their upcoming tabletop game, Halo: Flashpoint, set to hit US shelves on November 16th. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes video, they’ve shared some tantalizing details that promise an unparalleled experience for us fans. What I find particularly exciting is their commitment to making the game accessible and easy to grasp; preparation time is minimal, and the format is designed so players can plunge right into the tabletop fun without delay. This focus on immediate action is a testament to Mantic Games’ dedication to creating an authentic Halo experience for us all.

In Halo, once you power on your Xbox, it’s a quick jump into the action within the game. We aim to recreate that experience with our tabletop version. Upon opening the box, you assemble the terrain and miniatures, which are already pre-built for instant play. From day one, you can start playing without any delays,” Andy Burdis explained in the video.

The video demonstrated various miniatures, such as Spartan soldiers and Covenant troops, the buildable terrain, and some incredible moves players might execute (given they roll the appropriate number). Mantis Games utilized resources supplied by Halo Studios (previously known as 343 Industries) for this game, along with numerous materials chronicling the extensive history of the Halo series.

As a gamer eagerly waiting for Halo: Flashpoint, I’ve learned that it’s going to hit shelves in two starter sets, but unfortunately, they’re all sold out at the moment. However, fear not! Some third-party vendors are holding onto some of those coveted sets, but don’t expect them until May 2025. For those with a bit more patience, the $125 Halo: Flashpoint Spartan Edition is worth the wait. It comes packed with an assortment of minifigures and battle-ready terrain for two-player skirmishes between Spartans and the Banished faction. Not only that, but you’ll also get your hands on rulebooks, playing cards, and all the gameplay pieces needed to master this epic game!

As a gamer, I can’t help but get excited about the Halo: Flashpoint Recon Edition, priced at $78, that’s coming out in March 2025! This bad boy includes eight unique Spartan models, each with four distinct loadouts, accessories, and terrain pieces. You can grab it from Mantic’s official site, but remember to account for shipping and import fees if you choose this route.
