We’re breaking down AMG’s Star Wars: Legion roadmap and release schedule that’s full of new miniatures, reissues, and news, so you can see what’s worth your cash to buy smarter.
AMG’s newest Star Wars: Legion roadmap is basically a cheat sheet for collectors who want the coolest sculpts, competitive players trying to stay ahead of the next rules ripple, and newer players who just want to buy smart without accidentally building a shelf of regrets.
Best of all, we got the big Legion roadmap images (release schedule and reissue schedule), the rules update with the “okay, but what changes are on the table,” and the Ministravaganza and Adepticon preview wave, so you can tell what’s truly new and what’s getting refreshed.
You can always get the official announcements from AMG’s Star Wars Legion transmissions, but we have the version that actually helps you plan your next purchases and army lists.
Star Wars Legion Roadmap Timeline & Previews
Originally published in June 2023. Updated on April 2, 2026, by Rob Baer with the latest Legion Ministravaganza previews and pre-order reveals.
Roadmap at a glance: AMG is showing you two lineups of new releases. The release roadmap is your “new hotness” list, while the reissue schedule is your “you can finally buy staples again without hunting the ends of the internet” list.
Star Wars Legion New Release Roadmap from AdeptiCon
Reissue Schedule: Star Wars Legion
The talk about expanding narrative play with print-and-play campaign rules and faction-specific mission sets is a win. It means more reasons to play, more reasons to paint, and fewer “we are waiting for the next box to have fun” weeks.
AMG’s message here is pretty clear: keep the product line stocked with reissues, keep the gameplay moving with new missions and card packs, and keep the hype real with new characters and units that actually change how lists feel.
What to watch for:
- “Tours of Duty” narrative content that chains missions into a campaign. This is the kind of thing that keeps a local scene alive between big releases.
- More mercenary and dual-faction options so collections can flex into more builds without buying a second army from scratch.
- More themed waves that fill gaps and give under-supported eras and archetypes real attention.
New April 2026 Rules Update on the Way
While they haven’t said much about it yet, AMG promised a developer livestream on April 21st covering all the new balance changes for Star Wars Legion, so keep your eyes peeled for more rules changes soon.
Star Wars Legion 2025 Rules Update
The latest Legion update drops new cards and new knobs to turn, but the real question is simple: what does it reward, and what does it punish?
- New Battle Cards like Outflank and Supply Run are a love letter to players who can threaten multiple lanes and still score. If your list has fast pieces, flexible activations, or anything that can grab objectives while being a nuisance, these missions make your opponent feel like they are playing whack-a-mole with their own plan.
- Faction Advantage Cards tighten faction identity in a way you can actually feel. Rebels get more momentum tools, which means tempo and pressure matter even more. Clones get rewarded for clean sequencing and coordinated play, which means good order control goes from “nice” to “this is how you win.”
- Upgrade Cards putting heroes into Corps is the sneaky spice here. It makes your “basic” activations punch above their weight and turns objective turns into real turns, not just “move, score, shrug.” If you like lists that win by playing the mission while still throwing hands, this is your lane.
Atomic Mass Games also teased new card packs to support the wave, which is the part everyone wants. Nobody likes having to scrape together rules from five different places, like it’s an archaeological dig.
2026 Ministravaganza, AdeptiCon Legion Previews & Reveals
The Jedi Council pack is bringing some serious Prequel Trilogy heat straight into Star Wars: Legion, and that is an easy win for Republic players. For anyone hoping to see more big-name Jedi hit the tabletop, this feels a lot more like a headline character drop than some random side release.
- Mace Windu and Shaak Ti are both on the way, giving Republic players two more iconic Jedi names with plenty of Clone Wars-era appeal.
- Ki-Adi-Mundi and Plo Koon round out the pack, making this one look like a stacked release full of fan-favorite Council members.
All told, this is the kind of release that should get Legion fans paying attention fast. When you’re dropping this many recognizable Jedi into one pack, it feels less like a filler product and more like a real spotlight moment for the Republic.
Separatist Alliance
The Leaders of the Separatist Alliance pack gives the CIS its own lineup of major Prequel-era heavy hitters, stacking the faction with even more recognizable villains and power players. For fans who wanted the Separatists to feel more like the on-screen version they actually remember, this one looks like a pretty big step in that direction.
- Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Admiral Trench are all on the way, bringing a mix of Sith muscle, political scheming, and battlefield command to the Separatist roster.
- General Grievous and Asajj Ventress help round out the release, making this feel like a loaded character pack full of some of the faction’s biggest names.
All told, this is the kind of release that makes the Separatists feel a lot more complete on the tabletop. When a pack lands with this many iconic bad guys in one shot, it feels a lot less like filler and a lot more like a real faction-defining drop.
Legion Card Packs and Rules Updates
AMG confirmed the Upgrade Card Pack 2 and a new Battle Deck with new missions, deployments, and scenario twists. Competitive players should care because this changes practice reps and matchup plans. Casual players will like it too because it stops game night from feeling like you are replaying the same script every week.
Han Solo and Chewbacca
On the Rebel side, Han Solo and Chewbacca are finally heading into Legion in their classic look from the start of, and just before, Episode IV: A New Hope. For anyone who wanted a little more Original Trilogy flavor on the tabletop, this feels like an easy win with two of the most iconic characters in the whole franchise.
- Han Solo is on the way in his classic early A New Hope look, bringing the scruffy-looking nerf herder to the table at one of his most recognizable moments.
- Chewbacca joins him as his legendary Wookiee co-pilot, rounding this out with one of the most iconic duos in Star Wars.
All told, this is the kind of release that does well for Rebel players and Original Trilogy fans alike. When Han and Chewie show up looking this classic, it feels a lot less like a minor add-on and a lot more like a proper love letter to the core Star Wars crew.
BARC Speeder
The upcoming Jedi BARC Speeder kit looks like a lot more than just another fast-moving support piece, especially with multiple Jedi pilot build options in the mix. This one has a lot more personality than a standard vehicle release, thanks to the characters it can bring along for the ride.
- Anakin Skywalker can be built riding the Jedi BARC Speeder, giving the kit one of the biggest Clone Wars names possible right out of the gate.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi is also part of the build options, which makes this feel like a much more character-driven release than just another speeder box.
All told, this looks like the kind of kit that does more than fill a slot in the army list. When a speeder box also lets players field iconic Jedi like Anakin and Obi-Wan, it starts to feel like a centerpiece hobby release instead of just another support unit.
Looking Ahead to Late 2026 – 2027
It also looks like the rank-and-file side of things is getting plenty of attention, as Imperial Mudtroopers, Wet-Weather Gear Stormtroopers, and Guerrilla Troopers are all getting their own expansion boxes.
- Imperial Mudtroopers are getting their own expansion box, giving Imperial players another themed infantry option with a very distinct battlefield look.
- Wet-Weather Gear Stormtroopers are also on the way as a separate release, adding another specialized variant to the Empire’s growing lineup.
- Guerrilla Troopers round out the infantry reveals with their own box, helping add even more flavor and variety beyond the usual core units.
All told, these kinds of expansions help flesh out the game in a big way. When entire trooper boxes like these start showing up alongside the bigger headline releases, that gives this wave a lot more depth than just a few headliner characters.
New Expansions Coming in 2027
Rebels! A Surprise Reveal in AMG’s Adepticon Case
Put on display at AdeptiCon 2026 and teased over on X, the Ghost crew, aka Spectre Cell from Star Wars Rebels, is finally headed to Star Wars: Legion.
After a long wait, Hera, Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper are set to hit the tabletop in a 2027 release and give Rebel players one more very cool reason to start causing problems.
Mandalorians
One of the biggest reveals across this year’s roadmap presentations was easily the new Mandalorian Battle Force sub-faction, and AMG looks like it is going all-in on the launch.
The big army box looks built to do a lot of the heavy lifting right away, giving players the core units and build options needed to get a real Mandalorian force on the table without waiting around for the range to slowly fill out.
- Clan Kryze Veterans, elite Mandalorian fighters.
- Mandalorian Initiates, newer warriors entering the fight.
- Customizable Leader, flexible command build.
- Customizable Hunter, another custom character-style option.
- Mandalorian Warriors, core troops for the force.
- Five playable sub-factions, all usable from the box.
All told, this looks like the kind of box that gives Mandalorian players a real starting point instead of just a teaser. When the core release already has this much packed into it, the whole faction feels a lot closer to complete right out of the gate.
New Mandalorian Characters
On top of that, AMG is also giving the Mandalorians their own character-heavy follow-up box, which only makes this rollout feel bigger. Instead of holding back the headliners, they are stacking the release with some of the faction’s biggest names, which is a pretty easy way to get fans of the shows and the wider lore paying attention.
- Bo-Katan Kryze, one of the faction’s biggest names.
- Axe Woves, more Clan Kryze muscle.
- The Armorer, a standout addition from the series.
- Paz Vizsla, bringing heavy firepower.
All told, this character box is the kind of release that gives the faction a lot more personality fast. When this many recognizable Mandalorian names show up together, it feels a lot less like support content and a lot more like AMG knows exactly why fans were excited for this army.
Fliers Headed to the Game in 2027
AMG didn’t spend a ton of time on it, but one of the more interesting late-preview reveals was the tease that air support is coming to the game in 2027. The T-65 X-wing fighter showed up on the roadmap at the end, which looks like a pretty big hint that Legion is about to open the door to an entirely new kind of battlefield unit.
- T-65 X-wing Fighter, the first roadmap tease for the new starfighter unit type.
- TIE Fighter, the expected early follow-up if AMG is really building this out as a full new category.
- Fang Fighter, literally shown in the roadmap video with the Mandalorians.
All told, this could be one of the bigger shakeups Legion has seen in a while. When starfighters start entering the game as a whole new unit type, it feels a lot less like a small add-on and a lot more like AMG is setting up the next big expansion for how the game plays.
Star Wars Legion Release Schedule
If you’re planning any upcoming Star Wars Legion buys, look at the release schedule as a mix of “standard restocks” and “grab one or two kits that actually fit how you play.” With more reprint expansions showing up as big bundles, it’s an easy way to avoid impulse-buying everything… and then only ever putting half of it on the table once.
2026 Star Wars Legion Roadmap Pre-Orders
Where to preorder: The simplest place to start is Asmodee, since Pre-Orders on this page are all live now. It keeps things simple, you can lock in what you actually want, and you don’t have to play the “is this in stock” guessing game the week everything drops.
AMG has been pretty good about rolling out new releases and refreshed kits, too, so it’s not one of those games where you wait forever and then get a random info dump.
Between reissues, getting updated cards and packaging, and the new wave releases landing on a regular schedule, it’s worth checking back often if you’re building a collection or trying to stay current with your faction.

Final Thoughts on the Star Wars Legion Release Schedule
The latest Star Wars Legion roadmap and new release schedule are doing the right kind of work for hobbyists. Reissues keep the game buyable, while new missions and card packs keep the game playable. But for us, the preview units keep the game interesting.
Most impactful for competitive players: Dark Troopers look like a real “deal with me now” Heavy, and the Battle Deck plus Upgrade Card Pack changes how you plan objective turns and activation trades. If you like winning on the mission instead of just tabling people, that’s where the value is.
Most impactful for collectors: Imperial High Command and the mercenary-flavored stuff are the standout “paint this because it rules” picks, even if you never bring them to a tournament.
Most useful for newer players: use the reissue schedule to grab staples without chasing old stock, then pick one or two signature pieces that match your style, like Speed, armor, objective tricks, or big command control.
