Thinking of getting into the game, but seeing that they are not putting out more models and expansions from what I have been reading. What are your thoughts for the future of this game?

Thank you!

Well its a licensed game, so its not going to last forever. Inevitably will come the day when the licensing costs become too high or Asmodee gets outbid by another party interested in the license.

If you're okay with that, then the ambiguity surrounding whether or not Asmodee will ever make another new product for the game shouldn't be a concern. They are still maintaing stock and inventory of the existing products and the Rebels and Empire are fairly well-rounded and fleshed out, and even though they lack options the Republic and Separatists are a lot of fun to play. Its a fun game, IMO the best space/naval combat game on the market.

This subject has multiple angles.

First off, the biggest angle is that the game changed handes from fantasy flight games to Atomic mass games (Asmodee) in winter 21. End result is that the game lost all its original content developers, and the releases stopped not long after that as there was simply noone to make new stuff. IF that problem is beeing solved or not, we still dont know.

Second angle is that under FFG managment, they did some of the worst jobs in reprinting models for the earlier waves, meaning getting the older stuff was plain impossible, ebay was the only realistic source for non popoular ships at 2-3 times the retail cost.
AMG spesificly stated that they will not make new models this year and fokus exlusivly on resupplying the range across the globe, and THAT is more important then new models. With a consistent model production across the whole board, new blood is easy to get to the game as model prices stays whitin retail range.

From this we realy have no idea what AMG will in the future do to the game.

What i can tell you right now is that product avalibilty is at the highest it has ever been and now is the best time to get into the game. Clone wars arrived late as the galactic civil war realy had nothing new and meaning full models to be added, galactic civil war is coming to its end by natural causes and as a result there is a big diversity in empire vs rebels range. So even if AMG gets new devs for this game, future theoretical models will be from clone wars era as there is more to take from there.

(side note, space ship combat games has allways been a niche category, so there is no wonder AMG selected to fokus on legion and x-wing over armada)
