Atomic Mass Games just ended Ministravaganza, and it’s the latest cut in a run that already took X-Wing and Armada from game tables.
Losing a yearly livestream might not sound like a huge deal on its own, but AMG has been trimming its tabletop lineup for two years. The studio says the online event no longer fits how it wants to talk to players, and it would rather make smaller announcements closer to release and keep AdeptiCon as its big yearly show.
Fair enough. But put that next to everything else AMG has changed since 2024, and it starts to look like a studio focusing more and more on just Star Wars: Legion and Marvel: Crisis Protocol.
We should be clear about what AMG ended and what it scaled back, though. Shatterpoint players were told this year that their game isn’t going anywhere (technically)…
- What’s happening: Ending Ministravaganza looks like another step in AMG’s bigger reset, not just a schedule change.
- What we have seen so far: X-Wing and Armada development ended in June 2024, Shatterpoint moved to a specialist line in February 2026, and AMG changed studio leadership while naming Legion and MCP its flagships.
- What’s next: players get less of a look at the next six to 12 months, and AMG’s future depends on two games more than ever.
Half of AMG’s Own Roadmap Plan Is Gone Now
This one stings a bit. Back in 2023, AMG itself named AdeptiCon and Ministravaganza as its two big shows each year. Each would lay out roughly six months of the product roadmap, but three years later, one of those events is gone.
AMG’s reasoning is easy enough to follow. In-person conventions are back, and it would rather show products close to release than announce a big roadmap months ahead. The studio points to the Mandalorian Special Edition Army Box, which appeared at AdeptiCon and shipped less than three months later. It also points to the B2 Super Battle Droid preorder as the kind of standalone reveal it wants to make more often.
There is an upside to that. A shorter gap between reveal and release means fewer announced kits sitting around in limbo. AMG has had outside problems mess with its plans before, too. In 2025, it held back several MCP and Legion releases over U.S. tariffs, then raised U.S. prices on new products by roughly 15%. When a product ships soon after its reveal, there’s less time for something like that to throw off the date.
That’s how it looks from the studio’s side of the table. But if you plan your hobby purchases around the yearly Legion roadmap or MCP roadmap, Ministravaganza was one of the few times you knew you’d get a proper look ahead. A one-off reveal can be fun, but it means we know less about AMG’s overall plan for games.
The Star Wars Lineup AMG Inherited Keeps Getting Smaller
Remember, AMG didn’t build most of the Star Wars miniatures lineup it took on. X-Wing, Armada, and Legion moved over from Fantasy Flight Games. That brought three established communities to a studio that started with Marvel: Crisis Protocol.
X-Wing took the biggest hit; on June 13, 2024, AMG ended development on X-Wing outright. This wasn’t a slowdown or a missed release window. The studio cited rising production costs, global manufacturing problems, and the difficulty of making pre-painted miniatures. Organized Play continued through the Open World Championship at AdeptiCon in March 2025.
After that, the community had to take over. The X-Wing Alliance formed to keep development and organized play going after official support ended.
And X-Wing didn’t just quietly fade away during its AMG years. The studio made major rules and format changes after taking over, what players call X-Wing 2.5. Love those changes or hate them, the game got reworked before the money side caught up with it. Did pre-painted ships ever have a chance at a lasting place at a studio leaning further into build-and-paint minis? Probably not.
Armada lost development in that same announcement. Its new-product pipeline had already slowed way down, so things looked rough even before then. AMG eventually released what it called the final Armada update, covering revised tournament regulations, rules, and errata.
Shatterpoint Isn’t Dead, It Just Lost Its Flagship Seat
Shatterpoint has NOT been canceled. On February 24, 2026, AMG named Marvel: Crisis Protocol and Star Wars: Legion its flagship games. So, Shatterpoint moved into what the studio calls a specialist core game line.
Two days later, AMG said plainly that Shatterpoint was “not going anywhere.” It also said there would be fewer new products. Rules updates, balance changes, Organized Play, and availability will continue. Now, Shatterpoint players still have an active game, just one with a slower release pace.
Look across AMG’s Star Wars games now, and the picture is pretty clear. Two are completely done for, Shatterpoint is getting fewer releases, and Legion is the only one the studio calls a flagship. AMG inherited a sizable Star Wars lineup and launched a new game of its own, but most of its future Star Wars development now sits with squarely with Legion.
A specialist line can still work. The question is whether a slower release schedule can hold shelf space at a local game store, keep competitive players interested, and bring in new players over time.
AMG Swapped Its Studio Heads at the Same Time
The February changes went beyond the games themselves. AMG named Will Shick and Brandon Anderson Co-Heads of Studio and tied the new structure directly to putting its resources into Legion and MCP.
ICv2 reported that the pair replaced previous Head of Studio Simone Elliott. Shick moved up from Head of Product Development, while Anderson came from a Product Line Manager role. Both were product people before taking over the studio.
So within roughly seven months, AMG changed its leadership, where its staff and money go, which games it calls flagships, and how it talks to players. Put all that together with Shatterpoint’s slower schedule, and this feels bigger than a release-calendar shuffle.
Final Thoughts on Atomic Mass Games
Shatterpoint is the one game keeping AMG from being a two-game studio, and it’s getting fewer releases. Right now, AMG looks like a Legion and MCP studio with a specialist game alongside them.
AMG says fewer lines will give its two flagships more staff attention and development time. That could work, and the next year or two of releases and support should give players a clearer answer. With X-Wing and Armada finished and Shatterpoint slowed, though, the studio has less to lean on if Legion or MCP hits a rough patch.
Ministravaganza was an event, but its exit fits the wider changes at AMG now. Either way, we’ll be watching those surprise preorders to see how much of the studio’s future Legion and Marvel: Crisis Protocol can carry.
