Memoir ’44 New Edition Finally Announced for 2025

Back in 2024, many fans expected Days of Wonder to release a special edition of Memoir ’44 to celebrate the game’s 20th anniversary. That release never came—but now, in 2025, the long-awaited announcement is here: a brand-new edition of Memoir ’44 is officially on the way.

The upcoming edition will feature a reprinted and updated base game, and here’s the best part—it will be fully compatible with all previously released expansions, as well as those planned for the future. With Memoir ’44 boasting a rich library of expansions from the past two decades, this level of compatibility is a major advantage for longtime players.

While the core gameplay will remain unchanged, the new edition is expected to include:

• Refreshed visuals and component upgrades, including redesigned cards, updated player aids, and a modernized game board.
• Improved miniatures for soldiers and vehicles.
• New tokens, such as arrows and targeting reticles, designed to help players track which units have been ordered to move and attack—an especially helpful feature for new players.
• A revised rulebook, likely featuring reworded rules and updated illustrations for clarity and ease of learning.

This modernized version of Memoir ’44 aims to preserve the charm and strategic depth of the original while offering improved usability and presentation. It’s still the same beloved WWII-themed tactical game—featuring modular scenarios, campaign progression, and battles from across multiple theaters of war.

Whether you're a newcomer to the battlefield or a longtime general, the new Memoir ’44 edition is shaping up to be a must-have addition to your collection.
