Sad to see it, but unfortunately not surprising. Antares is a great rules system, but I suppose the miniatures range never tempted enough people in and since 40k get back in vogue with whateveredition it now is, it was game over for Antares.

For gamers though, freely available v2 ruleset, assuming they’ll do only minor adjustments and just reorganise the book better, and 3D printed armies would be a great opportunity. The lists and the lore in Antares is very open to what ever you might think in terms of sci-fi.

I would imagine Warlords of Erehwon and the fantasy ranges Warlord carry to have the same fate.

Blood Red Skies too, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they just end it completely. As far as I know the game has very little traction. Unlike Antares and Erehwon it has ugly miniatures and is a rather weak game overall.
