The year 2025 promises to be a special time for Portal Games as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of our most iconic games — Michał Oracz’s Neuroshima Hex. This is not only an opportunity to look back but also a moment to introduce new projects and expand the universe of this iconic game.

2025 - the Year of Neuroshima Hex

As part of the 20th-anniversary celebrations of Neuroshima Hex, we have prepared numerous surprises and new releases for fans. Here’s what to expect in 2025:

Neuroshima Hex: Battle — a fast-paced and dynamic 2-player version of the classic gameplay. This special edition of Neuroshima Hex is a perfect intro designed for two players to enter the rich world of Neuroshima Hex. The box features the armies of Steel Police and Beasts.

The Steel Police brings law and order fanatics clad in experimental power armor, with a unique Reflection ability that turns enemy attacks back on them. The Beasts represent feral survivors of Moloch’s attack, introducing friendly fire mechanics and a primal, unpredictable style of play. Both factions add unique strategies and flavor to this intense 2-player experience. The game includes a playing mat, two armies, tokens and a new rulebook.


Neuroshima Hex: Battle is scheduled for a June 2025 release for the US, EU and Polish markets. 


Neuroshima Hex — Besides a new stunning cover art and new artwork on the tiles, this version introduces new exciting modules, including:

  • Structures, which allow players to add terrain elements to the board with special rules.
  • Leaders, which allow players to choose a commander for their army before the game, granting unique tactical advantages during the game.
  • Battle Atlas, a scenario book where each page presents a unique tactical board with dedicated rules! Players will try to stop machines from building a factory, fight in alliance against Moloch marching towards them, or fight crazy battles on the terrain of an old theme park with a carousel and other surprises! Inspired by renowned games such as Mandalorian, Thorgal, and Mass Effect. Battle Atlas, with every page offers players unique and thematic battles in the iconic parts of the setting.


Neuroshima Hex is scheduled for October 2025 release for the US, EU, and Polish markets.  


Neuroshima Hex: Wiremen — Deep beneath the ruins of Seattle, a hidden civilization thrives in defiance of Moloch’s oppressive grasp. Society forged in secrecy, uniting rebellious cyborgs, escaped mutants, and the descendants of atomic researchers. With cutting-edge cybernetic implants and stolen Moloch technologies, they wage a relentless war to survive. But at what cost? As humanity and machine merge, the line between ally and enemy blurs.


Wiremen introduces exciting new gameplay mechanics, including the innovative Technology tokens. Designed as a flexible and aggressive army with straightforward rules, Wiremen adds a bold new layer of strategy and decision-making to Neuroshima Hex.

Two Major Releases in 2025

We are preparing two major releases for the most important industry events:

Age of Galaxy — a new edition of the popular strategic card game originally published by ICE Makers and designed by Jeffrey CCH. This sci-fi card game features over 30 unique factions, each with its abilities and strategic options. Similarly to Imperial settlers, faction cards can be played in multiple ways — in this game players can play them either integrated into their Empire or sacrifice for one-time benefits through agreements. The game allows exploration, colonization, building a space fleet, and technological development, which can take different paths for each player, opening many routes to victory. Portal Games is introducing completely new graphic design, enhanced solo mode, and improved components to enrich the gameplay experience.


Age of Galaxy is scheduled for a August 2025 release for the US and EU markets. 


Bohemians — a game by debut designer Jasper de Lange.

Players take on the roles of artists wandering the streets of Paris at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, striving to create masterpieces while facing the challenges of daily life. Bohemians is a card-driven game where players collect cards to find inspiration, seek muses, and manage everyday necessary tasks.

In each round, players must plan their day routine and decide if they go on a date, participate in a social event, meet their muse, create new art, or… go to work. Each card offers them various bonuses and inspiration - carefully managing your card play and the order in which cards are played is crucial to get the most inspiration. Players then spend their inspiration on purchasing cards and building their deck, these may be new habits, inspiring muses, or new achievements in their career. The winner of the game is an artist who gathers the most Achievements from the Achievements deck.

The prototype of Bohemians won 3 nominations and one award (Best Presentation, Best Innovation, Best Game) at Fastaval, Denmark's largest convention for board games and roleplaying games.


 

Crowdfunding Campaign: Race to Berlin

Race to Berlin - a game for which a crowdfunding campaign will be launched in April.

The game was first released in its initial edition at Essen in 2015, designed by Krzysztof Dytczak.
