Haywire Modern Opens Pre-Orders, Ships 2026
Hold on to your dice, folks, because Modiphius Entertainment just dropped a bombshell: pre-orders for their new miniature wargame, Haywire Modern, are live. The catch? You'll be waiting until September 2026 to get your hands on the full game. That's a long haul, even by Kickstarter standards!
Haywire Modern promises intense asymmetric solo and co-op tactical combat. You command an elite assault team, breaching and clearing hostile environments in a modern-day setting. The game's miniature-agnostic approach is a smart move, letting players deploy their existing collections. But the real draw might be the incredible unit customization, offering 36 distinct classes from breachers to dog handlers.
Modiphius isn't skimping on content either. Players can dive into two campaign modes. "Tour of Duty" offers replayable base building and resource management across diverse global hot zones. Or get lost in "Haywire Protocol," a three-chapter narrative following Task Force 21 as they unravel a global conspiracy. Want a taste? A free Quickstart PDF is available now. Just remember, the wait is real.

Catzye Take
A release date this far out is certainly unusual, especially for pre-orders. It'll be interesting to see how Modiphius keeps the hype alive for Haywire Modern over the next two years. For now, diving into that free Quickstart PDF is probably the best bet for tactical wargame fans.
