Star Wars: X-Wing Second Edition is the second edition of the miniature war game designed by Jay Little and produced by Fantasy Flight Games that was first announced on May 1, 2018, with the first release on September 13 of the same year. On November 16, 2020, Atomic Mass Games (another subsidiary of Asmodee) announced that it would be responsible for X-wing and its two sister games, Legion and Armada.
The games features tactical ship-to-ship dogfighting between various factions and starfighters set in the fictional Star Wars universe. The game is played in a series of rounds wherein both players set maneuvers for each of their ships in the battle area without knowledge of the opponent's maneuvers. The game is over when one player's fleet is entirely destroyed, or the timer runs out. The second edition of the game is compatible with the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures first edition ship models via the conversion kits made for each of the 5 factions (First Order and Resistance are separate factions in Second Edition), however, rules, tokens, and damage cards have all been changed, meaning that you will still need to buy a Second Edition Core Set or purchase each of these components individually.
There are also Epic rules for playing more scenario based games that can involve more than 2 players and immerse your combat into the Star Wars universe.
On 13 June 2024, Atomic Mass Games announced the end of the development of the game.{{Cite web |orig-date=2024-06-13 |title=Update on Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Wars: Armada |url=https://www.atomicmassgames.com/transmission/update-on-star-wars-x-wing-and-star-wars-armada/ |access-date=2024-09-26 |website=atomicmassgames.com |language=en-US}}
Game Description
Publisher's Description of the Core Set: "Enter the next era of interstellar combat in the Star Wars galaxy! In X-Wing: Second Edition, you assemble a squadron of iconic starfighters from across the Star Wars saga and engage in fast-paced, high-stakes space combat with iconic pilots such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
With refined gameplay that focuses on the physical act of flying starships, X-Wing Second Edition lets you create your own Star Wars space battles right on your tabletop. Intuitive mechanics create the tense atmosphere of a firefight while beautifully pre-painted miniatures draw you deeper into the action. Man your ships and enter the fray!"{{Cite web|url=https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/x-wing-second-edition/|title=X-Wing Second Edition|website=www.fantasyflightgames.com|access-date=2019-03-30}}
Additional Game Description: "Featuring stunningly detailed and painted miniatures, X-Wing recreates exciting Star Wars space battles from small engagements of only a couple of crafts, to large conflicts where multiple squadrons clash. Select and equip your ships, pick your crew, plan your attack, and complete your mission!
Fast and visceral, X-Wing puts you in the middle of fierce Star Wars firefights. Use each craft’s unique maneuver dial to secretly plot its movement action for each turn. After each player has locked in his movement decisions, the dials are revealed and ships are moved. Pepper the enemy with blaster fire as you rush into the dogfight, or move into combat range slowly, attaining deadly target locks before you launch a devastating attack. No matter your plan of attack, you’ll be in total control throughout the tense action!"
