Which company released the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game in 2012?

The story behind the answer

Fantasy Flight Games released Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game in 2012.

The game is a tabletop tactical game in which players command miniature starfighters from the Star Wars universe. Its first core set included pre-painted miniatures representing an X-wing and two TIE fighters, along with maneuver tools, cards, tokens, and dice. The rules focus on movement, positioning, actions, and attacks rather than large-scale army deployment.

Fantasy Flight Games expanded the game through many starship expansions and later editions. The product became one of the company’s best-known licensed Star Wars games and helped popularize pre-painted space-combat miniatures among a broad hobby audience.

It is distinct from Star Wars: Armada, another Fantasy Flight Games miniatures game that emphasizes capital ships and larger battles. X-Wing concentrates on individual starfighters, making its play experience faster and more maneuver-focused.
