Shepard & Squad Hit The Tabletop In Mass Effect The Board Game
March 5, 2024 by brennon
Modiphius has announced that they are working on publishing a new Mass Effect board game later this year alongside Asmodee. Designed by Eric M. Lang and Calvin Wong Tze Loon, Mass Effect The Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz is going to be a new cooperative, story-driven board game.
Mass Effect The Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz // Modiphius
Set during the events of Mass Effect 3, one more mission has been set before Shepard and their crew...
"On the remote world Hagalaz, a research cruiser from the terrorist organisation Cerberus has crashed directly in the path of a deadly storm. With little time before the storm hits, Shepard must lead their squad through the cruiser to uncover its sinister secrets and keep them out of the hands of the enemy. However, the ship holds more dangers than just its former crew. Deep within the shattered cruiser stir creatures and enemies far worse than the Cerberus forces that guard them."
In Priority: Hagalaz you will get stuck into a branching, narrative campaign game where multiple playthroughs will lead you down different routes each time. You will play as Shepard and their crew including Liara, Tali, Wrex and Garrus who can all be upgraded with new abilities, equipment and powers. Working together, you will battle the card-driven AI and the evolving story which responds to your actions.
In true Mass Effect fashion, you will also be able to unlock unique powers and abilities by completing optional loyalty missions. As a bit of a bonus, the game will also come with six highly detailed 32mm scale pre-assembled plastic miniatures for both male and female Shepard plus Liara, Tali, Wrex and Garrus.
Mass Effect The Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz will be available later in 2024!

Nice, but I wish it was a tabletop wargame.
I’d like the minis, but a single mission replayed is not sounding like enough replay value.
I imagine if the main game’s campaign goes well there could be expansion packs
DLC and microtransactions up the wazoo (sp?) …
It’s EA we’re talking about here 😉
A sci fi dungeon crawl though a crashed ship… sound ok, guess we was thinking of the Mass effect IP to be a much larger scale affair… Lets see what they do with the IP
I’d bet that you get to fight the entire campaign just to pick the colour for the final mission ending card 😉
Well damn, better late than never! More Mass Effect is always good.
I backed Rogue Angels back in sep last year. It literally promises the Mass Effect experience with romances, skirmish combat, galactic domination stakes and all that. Wonder what the official game will bring to the table? Guess time will tell.
