The guys at Prodos Games have given us another update on how the AvP: The Hunt Begins Miniature Game is coming along. They’ve posted some lovely pictures of the matte-finish box, booklets and cards of the Deluxe Kickstarter Edition of the board game. I must admit it does contain some very premium quality artwork to say this started out as a crowd-funding project. Now, the AvP miniatures game has been delayed a few times this year and it’s still going through the lengthy approval process at 20th Century Fox. The current aim is to get the Deluxe Edition shipped to backers by September and there’ll be a mass-produced version of the board game for retail at some point.
AvP: The War Begins was first announced by Prodos Games in October 2013 and they managed to raise just over £379,000 on Kickstarter. We’ll keep you informed of any developments with this project.
This is also bad, because it's something of an indicator towards yet more delays.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to wait till the regular release.... whenever that will be.
Is this supposed to be like a reall in-depth RPG or is it a tabletop type game that could be seen on, say, Wil Wheaton's Table Top? As in, is this going to be something that could be played with 4-6 people in an hour or two or is it a really involved format?
Noone knows how to play yet. But yeah, sometimes. Until you become buddies.
It's probably not a good game for antisocial types.
Thankfully I've found 2 nearby places that will be supporting the game. The Grid in Doncaster, Titan Games in Lichfield, if you're interested. I've played Star Trek at both of them and they're nice. The Grid is a much nicer venue though. They're not far from you.
They're not just UK. They've expanded to Poland. But yes, I should imagine so. The Kickstarter wasn't UK exclusive.
Considering that Prodos is a UK based company, will we see a US Retail release?
Probably because there isn't an official retail release date yet. I can't see it being earlier than this time next year for that, and that's being pretty generous I feel.
They've posted some pictures of the box and booklets. Supposedly will be shipping September.

I haven't been following this so I may be out of the loop. I noticed the 20th Century Fox logo on the box. This started out as a fan project? But Fox are now involved in this and I assume they'll be taking a big cut of the money?
