That date has passed: it is not a current preorder announcement. The game is a one-to-four-player cooperative campaign set during Mass Effect 3; Modiphius’ US product listing showed it as sold out when checked on October 8, 2026.
When did Mass Effect: Priority: Hagalaz come out?
Modiphius opened preorders on August 29, 2024, and said the game was expected to reach Asmodee and local game stores in early October 2024. The October date refers to 2024, not 2026. The publisher’s original suggested prices were £40 and $50; those are historical figures, not current price quotes. Modiphius’ 2024 preorder announcement has the original timing and price details.
As of October 8, 2026, Modiphius’ US listing displayed “Sold out.” That does not establish availability at other retailers or in other regions, so check a local store or a retailer listing that clearly identifies the same game before ordering. The US product page describes the physical game and its contents.

Are the resin miniatures included?
No. The core box includes six preassembled plastic squadmate miniatures. Modiphius separately described optional 32mm resin miniatures as scaled to fit and intended as upgrades. Its 2024 announcement characterized those figures as multipart, unpainted and unassembled, so they require assembly and painting; check the particular set’s current listing for availability.

Not according to the latest dated announcement in the available publisher information. On November 7, 2025, Modiphius said an expansion was planned for early 2027. It was described as adding six squadmates, new ways to play, loyalty missions and enemy groups; the announcement did not give the expansion’s name or exact price. The same announcement placed new resin miniature sets in Q2 2026. Those were plans, not confirmation that either the miniatures or expansion shipped. See Modiphius’ November 7, 2025 announcement for the stated schedule and features.

Rank #3
- Last Friday Revised Edition is the updated and revised version of our hidden movement, hunting, and deduction board game, inspired by the popular "slasher" horror movie genre. Subtle but important changes to the rules enhance the game balance, giving to the Maniac more opportunities than ever to spread terror in Camp Apache! This revised edition also features new cover art.
- In the role of young campers during Summer in 1980, five players are challenged to survive a long weekend of terror in a camp in the woods, while one of them takes the role of the undying psychopath hiding in the shadows of the forest.
- Depending on which of the four “chapters” you play, the goal of the game changes, creating highly engaging gameplay: in some chapters the maniac is trying to find the campers, but in others, they are trying to find him. Each chapter plays out differently as the hunter becomes the prey, and then comes back from the dead looking for revenge.
- If a player dies during a chapter, they will come back in the next chapter with a different character, adding an additional level of replayability.
- Last Friday Revised Edition is a game for 2 to 6 players, divided into four chapters full of horror and suspense (“Arrival at the Camp”, “The Chase”, “The Massacre”, and “The Final Chapter”), with a playing time of 30 to 45 minutes per chapter, which you can play individually or together in a long night of terror!
