Predict the GenCon announcements

By drail14me, in X-Wing

We're almost 50 days away from GenCon and the FFG In Flight Report. What are your predictions on announcements?

Mine: 2nd Edition Resistance and First Order conversion kits along with Wave 2.

Also, a long shot, SWX-71 Epic Ship Hammerhead with Blue Squadron T-65 with 2nd Edition content and Epic Conversion.

  • 2016: Electrical issues the night before driving to GenCon
  • 2017: Refrigerator died days before GenCon
  • 2018: I expect the dishwasher will flood hours before departure this year...

Oh, and FFG will say something or other about a Star Wars game

Or contents.

FO and Resistance conversion kits.

Re-release of T70 and FO (or SF) in wave 2, and some other 1.0 ships in 2.0 packaging.

In before "nothing for Armada"...

New resistance and FO ships to go with the T70 and FO Tie 2.0 blisters

Surely the Resistance A-Wing and perhaps a FO bomber?

3.0 announcement ?

I think Rebels will win the Assault on Greyskull Base.

They'll announce the wave 2 ships, which will hopefully include FO and Resistance's first releases.

At the very end of the X-Wing section (which will be the last section of the panel), they'll show a shot of an N-1 surrounded by Vulture droids with a caption, "see you next Gencon."

I predict we will have full spoilers of the core and conversion kits within an hour of GenCon opening, if not before XD

Starkiller Base will be the first model in the epic relaunch. It will cost $1,000.

Armada stuff

Legion stuff

2ndE wave 2 stuff

New game thing

Destiny stuff

With how they are pushing Terrinoth, I imagine the BIG announcement will be Descent 3rd Edition.

Probably will show off wave 2 of 2.0.

Maybe some Armada expansions.

Thinking another Rebellion expansion as well.

I'm rolling the dice on it being the exact opposite.

The Executor, finally.

If they do Descent 3.0, I bet they do it Mansions of Madness 2.0 style. All app all the time.

I’d be ok with this happening in 2.0 format instead. Alternate formats could be supported in the app.

Gencon Announcements:

1. Companion App Launch (which will be about a month before full release of X-Wing 2.0 ~ September 13th)

2. The release of point costs for all Wave 1 ships, upgrades, and pilots etc.

3. Official Announcement of Wave II release - Christmas 2018

The new 2.0 mechanic they've been keeping secret this whole time, adding a 3rd dimension.

Hope Armada gets some love ?
