Back to the Wasteland: the second edition of the Fallout: Wasteland Warfare board game will be released in 2026

Next year, people will be able to get their hands on the second edition of the Fallout: Wasteland Warfare board game, featuring new miniatures, adjusted rules, 13 factions, and gameplay mechanics from expansions released for the game's first edition.

Modiphius Entertainment has announced that it plans to release the second edition of the Fallout: Wasteland Warfare board game in 2026, the first version of which debuted back in 2018.

The project will feature new miniatures and refined rules based on community feedback. The developers will focus more on solo and co-op modes, where gamers can create a character and lead a squad battling denizens of the post-apocalyptic world (a PvP mode is also available). 

Players will be able to try out a progression system for custom characters and gameplay elements from expansions that were available in the first edition. The scale of the plastic miniatures for the second edition is 32 mm (meaning unchanged).

At release, 13 factions will be available: Survivors, Raiders, Creatures, Brotherhood of Steel, Super Mutants, NCR, Caesar’s Legion, Enclave, Minutemen, Railroad, Institute, Children of Atom, and Cult of the Mothman.

The second edition of Fallout: Wasteland Warfare will most likely be released as boxed sets.
