Seattle, WA– Feb 24th, 2026 – Atomic Mass Games (AMG), the asmodee studio dedicated to miniatures games, today announced a strategic focus on several key game lines. AMG will focus its support on its flagship titles and realign its resources towards these priorities, involving adjustments to the Studio’s organizational structure. As part of this restructuring, the studio will now be led by Co-Heads of Studio Will Shick and Brandon Anderson.
A key driver of the reorganization is to allow Atomic Mass Games to enhance focus on its flagship titles, Star Wars™: Legion and Marvel: Crisis Protocol, delivering the depth, innovation, and high-quality gameplay experiences that players expect. As part of this realignment, Atomic Mass Games’ Star Wars™: Shatterpoint product line will be transitioning into a specialist core game line. As a specialist game, Shatterpoint will continue to be supported to ensure consistent availability and the highest level of gameplay experience possible by AMG, while streamlining the number of releases to align with the restructured development resources of the studio.
These shifts will enable AMG to redirect investment and talent towards continuing to grow and expand Legion following its successful second edition launch in Fall of 2025 with both new expansions focusing on the game’s four main factions, as well as exploring bringing new sub-factions to the game such as was done with the Shadow Collective in 2022. In addition to expanding the number and type of forces within the game, this new focus will be key in AMG’s ability to introduce new gameplay expansions such as the skirmish game mode Special Operations and the recently announced large scale game mode Full Scale War as new supporting product types.
AMG’s other flagship game, Crisis Protocol will also see significant benefit including a renewed focus on consistent and compelling product expansions drawing from the breadth of the Marvel© Universe, as well as several next generation initiatives which look to expand the reach of the brand to new players and audiences.
“Our goal is to build a stronger, more focused studio that can better cater to the needs of our players,” said David Preti, Head of Crowdfunding Strategy and Miniature Lines at asmodee. “Realignment requires changes that can be challenging for our team and our community. But this step allows us to invest more deeply in the games our players care about most and to build a more sustainable foundation for the future.”
Atomic Mass Games remains a key part of asmodee’s core fans ecosystem. As part of its forward-looking strategy, the studio will continue exploring new ways to engage players, including potential new market opportunities and innovative distribution models, while maintaining strong relationships with retailers and partners who are essential ambassadors for the hobby.
“By sharpening our focus and aligning our resources around our core titles, we’re positioning Atomic Mass Games for long-term growth”, said Brandon Anderson, Co-Head of Studio at Atomic Mass Games. Will Shick, Co-Head of Studio, added: “Our commitment remains the same: to support our communities, innovate thoughtfully, and continue delivering the high-quality hobby experiences that bring people together.”
Personal Thoughts
I really like Shatterpoint. The few times I've played have been a blast, I appreciate the affordableness of a skirmish focused game, and I really think the models are wonderful. We've covered a bit of Shatterpoint on Gaming Trend, and we are always looking forward to the models, so this news is a bit of a let down.
What this means for Shatterpoint fans is that you'll probably see a slowing down of new models, rules, and game modes, hopefully similar to how Games Workshop still supports their specialist games (Blood Bowl, Kill Team, etc).
On the business side, I will begrudgingly say this makes sense. Legion's relaunch was pretty huge, and with a skirmish mode "Special Operations" for Legion, us fans of smaller armies will be happy and still be able to play quicker games. Legion also has a larger buy-in, which means more revenue. With Shatterpoint, all a player needs is 2 boxes and a friend with the tools.
Also, considering their other core offering is a skirmish style game with MCP, perhaps there wasn't enough room in the market for all of these games.
On the hopeful side, I'd love to see some of the models get scaled down to Legion size. Amazing sculpts belong on the table, regardless of game!
As always, stick with Gaming Trend for Shatterpoint, Marvel Crisis Protocol, and Legion news, reviews, and tutorials!
