GAMA 2025 - What’s New for Star Wars: Legion?
This year’s GAMA announcements focused on restructuring Legion’s product line, making it easier for new players while also giving existing players options to update their collections.
📌 Key Takeaways:
✅ New Starter Boxes – Individual faction-focused sets for Empire, Rebels, Republic, and Separatists.
✅ Card Packs – A Universal Pack (all upgrades), plus faction-specific Unit and Command Card Packs.
✅ Organized Play Support – New tournament kits, retail incentives, and Grand Tournament plans.
✅ Marketing Strategy – AMG is focusing on social media engagement, influencer outreach, and retailer-driven initiatives.
Let’s break it down.
Starter Boxes – A Fresh Entry Point for Each Faction
💡 These new starter sets contain everything needed for a 600-point Skirmish army, making them ideal for new players and an easy way for veterans to start a new faction.
AMG's Star Wars: Legion starter boxes streamline entry for new players. Each set includes a ready-to-play 600-point army with updated rules.
Each Starter Box contains:
New sculpts of classic characters
A ready-to-play 600-point army
Tokens, dice, and measuring tools
Fully updated unit cards and rules
Card Packs – Transitioning to the New Era
AMG is introducing a three-tier card system:
Atomic Mass Games introduces Universal, Unit, and Command Card Packs for Star Wars: Legion, making it easier for players to update their collections.
Universal Card Pack – Includes every upgrade card, ensuring players have everything they need.
Unit Card Pack (Transitional) – Contains faction-specific unit cards & upgrades for updating existing armies.
Command Card Pack (Transitional) – Includes all past Commander/Operative and generic command cards per faction.
📝 Existing players may need to get their preorders in for their faction’s Unit & Command Packs due to their transitional nature. The Universal Pack seems to be part of the new core line of products and will be sticking around, which is great as we are all going to want one!
Organized Play – What’s Changing?
AMG is lifting the lid on their plans for competitive play with a structured retail and tournament system.
The future of Star Wars: Legion competitive play: AMG announces structured tournament support, league kits, and grand tournaments at GAMA 2025.
New Organized Play Structure:
🏆 Retail Support Kits – Free kits for local stores to run in-store events.
🎟️ League & Tournament Kits – 16-player packs available for purchase by retailers.
🌎 Grand Tournaments – AMG-supported seasonal events, with unique prizes and trophy kits.
🔎 What does this mean? Legion players can expect more structured play at their local stores and a clearer pathway for competitive events!
