XWA History

The X-Wing Alliance (XWA) is a centralized community effort and resource for the Star Wars X-Wing tabletop gaming community. This effort is aimed at the continuation of the game system and its organized play activities after the end of development and support from its publisher.

X-Wing Alliance (XWA) was formed in response to the announcement by Atomic Mass Games (AMG) in June 2024 that the development of X-Wing (and Armada) would be ending, with limited Organized Play support continuing until the conclusion of the season in March 2025. This announcement marked the end of official updates and support for the beloved tabletop games, leaving a void for the passionate community of players and organizers.

XWA was established to ensure the continuation of X-Wing's development and organized play beyond AMG's involvement. The Alliance aims to pick up where AMG left off, focusing on maintaining and evolving the game system while also supporting competitive play during and after the current season. XWA is a community-driven initiative, created by and for the fans, with the goal of preserving the game that so many have come to love.

The leadership of XWA is composed of well-known figures within the community, including tournament organizers, content creators, and other contributors who have been instrumental in supporting X-Wing over the years. The initial leadership council consists of Stephen Kim (Discord: @raith), Filippo Bosi (Discord: @Piffo), and Louis Leong (Discord: @louie), all of whom are active on the X-Wing Discord Server. They are supported by a committee of like-minded individuals, all dedicated to the cause.

Although XWA is still in the early stages of establishing its goals and working structures, the team is committed to transparency and open communication. The community is encouraged to get involved, contribute ideas, and help shape the future of the game. For updates, the X-Wing Discord will serve as the primary platform.

XWA represents a collective effort to keep the spirit of X-Wing alive, driven by a shared passion for the game and a commitment to ensuring its legacy continues.
