The game from Snapshot Games will be available in early access for the first time, and is not currently planned for console release by Arc Games.

From the creative mind of Isaac Childres, the highly acclaimed board game moves to the digital realm in the video game adaptation of Frosthaven! An evolution of the Frosthaven board game experience, the dark fantasy tactical RPG serves as a spiritual successor to Gloomhaven. Players can expect deep mechanics and challenging yet immensely satisfying gameplay both in single-player and cooperative online multiplayer. Seasoned veterans of the original board game or Gloomhaven will feel right at home venturing into the unforgiving and treacherous northern frontier of Frosthaven. Newcomers can start their first adventure with difficulty modes tailored to their skill level. Improved user experience and quality-of-life features will ensure all players can enjoy their experience.

The brand-new character classes, each featuring unique playstyles and abilities, makes it so that every decision matters. Players must balance risk and reward, working towards the best synergies between the classes comprising their party. Carefully managing resources is paramount to progress through a gripping campaign, set in a vast world filled with menacing enemies and diverse environments. Choose from six starting character classes—including the Banner Spear, Boneshaper, Drifter, Geminate, Blinkblade, and Deathwalker. Additional classes will be unlocked as you progress your campaign. Each class features its own unique abilities and playstyle to master.

Engage in deep, tactical turn-based combat and test your skills against an array of new enemies and formidable bosses. Utilize an ability card system that requires careful planning to unleash devastating attacks, execute powerful combos, and try to keep your party members alive. Manage the outpost, construct and upgrade various buildings, and unlock new game features and mechanics. A stunning art style, highly detailed models and textures, and expressive animations bring the world of Frosthaven to life. Explore diverse biomes, changing seasons, and dynamic environments as your adventure progresses.

The Early Access release launches with over 35 quests in Acts 1 and 2, with over 130 total quests planned for the campaign as development continues. The included tutorial and introductory quest line will allow both new and old players to familiarize themselves with the basic mechanics and gameplay. Frosthaven supports two to four players, so you can play with your friends anytime, anywhere.

Frosthaven’s closed beta test will run from March 27th at 5pm until April 24th at 6pm and you can sign up here. Early access will begin later this year on Steam.
