Darth Maul is making an official return to the Star Wars franchise with Legion, and fans of the Sith Lord may want to mark their calendars for his comeback. The Sith assassin, first introduced in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, quickly became a fan-favorite character within the series, even though he has very few lines in the movie. After his apparent demise on Naboo, Darth Maul’s story in Star Wars is significantly expanded, as he actually survives his initial fight against Obi-Wan Kenobi and goes on to become a powerful crime lord.

The character has made a few comebacks in multiple types of media, such as in the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as well as in Star Wars Rebels. However, this time, the Sith Lord is returning with his Episode I looks in Star Wars: Legion. According to a new report by ICv2, Atomic Mass Games is going to release a new pack, called Maul & Sith Probe Droids, for the tabletop miniature wargame. As is hinted by its title, it will be focused on the apprentice to Darth Sidious and the iconic recon drones from the franchise.

The new Maul & Sith Probe Droids pack will contain a bundle of new miniatures, one of which is the Sith Lord, as well as three Sith Probe Droids. This pack, which represents the return of Darth Maul to Star Wars, also comes with four bases for the miniatures, three flight stands, 2 Unit cards, 3 Command cards, and an insert, according to the report. The miniature pack will be officially released on December 11, so we’re less than a month away from getting this new content. The product will have a suggested retail price of $28.99.

Earlier this year, we saw the release of Mace Windu in Star Wars: Legion, who came in a similar new miniature expansion pack for the board game. There is, canonically speaking, a ton of content for the board game to go through, so it makes sense for Atomic Mass Games to be focusing on the prequel trilogy for now, especially after focusing so much on the original trilogy. The release of this new Darth Maul-themed miniature pack is exciting news for fans of the villainous character, whether from his short days on Naboo or later on.

If you don’t have the slightest clue what Legion is, this is a tabletop miniature board game set in the Star Wars universe. During matches, players command custom armies of unpainted miniatures on a tactical battleground. There are different factions to choose from, like the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, and you build your team around that. There have been some updates to Star Wars: Legion’s rules since its release back in 2018, like an unexpected character ban, but new units are always arriving.

If the game isn’t exactly your jam, there is still a lot at work within the series’ universe, even with Maul himself. The second season of Maul - Shadow Lord has already been confirmed following the release of the first season this year, so expect to see more of the iconic villain in Star Wars pretty soon.
