Masks: A New Generation Returns with an Exciting Second Edition
Good news for fans of the tabletop superhero game, Masks: A New Generation! Magpie Games has announced that a new edition of the popular game is on its way. Set to be published in late 2026, the second edition will offer updated and refreshed mechanics, new playbooks, a new 8.5 x 11" format, new art, and expanded lore.
The new edition will build upon the original Powered by the Apocalypse (PBTA) mechanics, adding two additional player playbooks to the mix. A quickstart version of the rules will launch in 2026, alongside a crowdfunding campaign. The full product line, including supplements and accessories, is expected to be released in early 2028.
What makes Masks: A New Generation unique is its focus on the characters' stories and struggles, rather than their specific abilities. Players can assume roles such as the Janus, Doomed, or Beacon, each with unique character traits and struggles. In this game, your stats are fluid and rooted in how your character views themselves, with HP being replaced by conditions like Angry or Hopeless, which focus on your superkid's internal world.
The game is set in a city flooded with metahuman drama, where players take on the roles of teenage superheroes. If you've always wanted to play a superhero but haven't had the chance, Masks: A New Generation offers a perfect opportunity to do so, even before the second edition is released.
