Mantic Reveal New Games In 2025; DreadBall Returns & More!
January 2, 2025 by brennon
Mantic Games put together a trailer this week showing off what's coming from the team in 2025. There are intriguing titles on the horizon including some returns of old favourites. Check out the trailer below...
Mantic Games In 2025
First up, we got the flash of a new title for Kings Of War and the Fantasy world of Pannithor.
Kings Of War Champions // Mantic Games
We have scant detail on Kings Of War Champions at the moment but there was a little teaser from an earlier Mantic Games blog entry. Designed by Rob Burman, Champions will focus in on clashes between Champions (hence the name) and their handpicked troops on the tabletop. Interestingly, it still "has the tactical rank and flank gameplay and awesome hard plastic minis you love from Kings of War" but it has been designed to play fast and take up less space on the tabletop. Intriguing!
Secondly, we got a flash of the return of DreadBall with DreadBall All-Stars!
DreadBall All-Stars // Mantic Games
DreadBall All-Stars will be a welcome return to the pitch for a whole bunch of folks and it's neat to see that DreadBall hasn't completely fallen off the radar for Mantic. It is well-loved by a lot of folks, including Gerry and Warren here at OnTableTop, and it will be great to see what Mantic has planned for the game.
More Teasers!
As well as the reveal of Kings Of War Champions and DreadBall All-Stars some equally intriguing reveals were just too hard to screencap from the video. We got another tease for some big vehicles coming to Epic Warpath and what I would imagine to be a new Assassin's Creed Board Game coming from Mantic!
Assassin's Creed // Mantic Games
We also got to see a Brute from The Banished making Master Chief's life very uncomfortable. I would guess that we're going to be seeing these surly killers popping up in Halo: Flashpoint later in the year. It will be fascinating to see what they do with Assassin's Creed and how Brutes change up gameplay in Halo: Flashpoint.
What are you most excited to see from Mantic in 2025?

DREADBALL ALL STARS GET THE HECK IN MANTIC!
Ahem this is a welcome development well done chaps.
Got a gut feeling this might be a “mini” version of DB with Resin MVPs instead of the usual teams. You just grab whatever MVPs you want to create your own synergies (that kinda fits in with the games Mantic have been doing of late). As to the regular DB, how can you improve on perfection? Even although it’s got WAYYYY too many teams (for the best games stick to Season 1 and 2 Teams as the later ones are a bit gimicky or a “one trick pony”). But whatever Mantic come up with for All Stars I don’t think… Read more »
I think you’re right on team selections. Our last league we agreed not to use the two customisable ones but Kalyishi still wiped the floor with anyone else. Would welcome another league but we all got a bit jaded by the end.
I also thought that they were going to release plastic ‘Rebs’ for Firefight/Deadzone in 2025. I wonder if they are still planning that release?
I hope so.
