Halo: Flashpoint – The Battle Begins Next Week

Fireteam commanders, the next operation is almost upon us! Fall in for your briefing…

Noble Team Deploys

Noble Team is arriving with players all around the world, and it's amazing to see all the painted photos and videos online as so many of you (including the team at The Army Painter) prepare to deploy them to the combat zone.

We need to level with you though, it's not been an easy mission. Giving you a peek behind the curtain, demand for Noble Team has been more than double what we'd originally anticipated.

Within just the first few days of pre-orders we placed another factory order to join the next possible shipment. Even moving at that pace it wasn't quite fast enough, and we genuinely apologise to those of you whose order got slowed down as we raced to scale things up.

So, with demand continuing to build internationally, we feel the time is right for us to let you (the biggest and best Halo: Flashpoint fans!) know that the next exciting wave will be revealed, and up for pre-order on Friday 5th June.

Coming Next: Zeta Halo Week

The new 32-player organised play kit has now started shipping, which rounds out all of the Spring releases and pushes us into the next exciting phase for Halo: Flashpoint.

It all kicks off with the Battle for Zeta Halo, the most community-driven wave of releases yet. Have you figured them out yet?

This next wave is also very special in that there's something for everyone - with both UNSC and Banished releases coming at the same time to really flesh out those two factions. These are based around some of your top requests since the game's early days, plus there are also some fun surprises in the new sets!

In sync with that, in August 2026 we’ll be bringing in a new balance update based on your excellent community feedback, suggestions, and organised play results. We're always keeping a finger on the pulse so we can keep Halo: Flashpoint a great and fairly balanced, gaming experience for everyone. 

New Players and a Bright Future

Halo: Flashpoint is a game that was always be designed to be easy to pick up, and hard to put down! And it's still growing, being played across more stores and regions, with loads of new events taking place - so in the coming months we’re putting a big focus on welcoming lots more new players.

Alongside great miniatures, and the game in its best state ever, we'll be bringing in brand new entry points that make it even easier for your friends to discover what all the excitement's about - so think now about who you're going to invite to come and join in.

We're confident that they'll thank you for introducing them to such a uniquely fast and fresh game system! And of course if we all bring a mate along then it means more new opponents, even more gaming, even more events, and simply more amazing tabletop Halo for everybody.

What happen when you invite a friend or two and let things grow from there? Well, here's a fantastic group of players at Game Cafe in Kansas City with their local Pathfinder, that Ronnie met on his travels recently. This is exactly the kind of friendly energy and Halo fun we love and just keep on seeing, and it's what the hobby is really all about - great games, and great times, with great people!

Watch out for all the next major reveals and pre-orders coming on Friday the 5th of June.
