Abstract
Following the recent reformulation of the Athena mission to meet budgetary and technical constraints, both the scientific case and the instrument design of the Wide Field Imager instrument have been reviewed to reflect the requirements and constraints of the new Athena concept. In this paper, a summary of the updated science case for WFI will be presented, along with an update of the instrument design, the status of critical technologies and future plans for model development.
