Miniatures skirmish games set for significant growth in 2025

Miniatures skirmish games are gaining popularity, with many new titles set for release in 2025. These games require fewer miniatures, making them easier to play and store compared to traditional wargames that need dozens of figures. Notable upcoming games include BattleTech: Mercenaries, Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Combat Zone, and Halo: Flashpoint. Each offers unique gameplay experiences and accessible starter sets, appealing to both new and experienced players. Trench Crusade has emerged as a standout success, raising over $3.33 million in crowdfunding. It features an alternate history of World War I and is expected to attract a large player base with its engaging rules and lore.
