In a new trailer revealed today, Arc Games, a leading publisher of premium and live service games, in partnership with Asmodee and Cephalofair Games, announced Frosthaven, a dark fantasy tactical RPG based on the highly acclaimed board game of the same name, is set to launch in Early Access on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) on July 31, 2025 for $39.99. To give players the ultimate strategic board game digital adaptation experience, Arc Games has partnered with Twins Sails, publisher of Gloomhaven Digital, to offer a bundle that includes both Frosthaven and Gloomhaven Digital that will be available on July 31, the same day of Frosthaven's Early Access launch.
In development from Snapshot Games, led by CEO Julian Gollop, who’s best known as the creator of X-COM, with the board game creator Isaac Childres from Cephalofair Games serving as a consultant on the project, both teams are thrilled to bring Frosthaven into Early Access in just two weeks. The upcoming Early Access launch will mark just the beginning of Frosthaven, as players will be able to experience first-hand the evolution of this video game adaptation of the beloved board game as they share feedback to help shape and evolve the game throughout the course of Early Access.
Those who embark on this adventure from the very beginning of Early Access will be able to experience roughly one-third of the planned content for the full 1.0 version of the game, with more content and gameplay improvements intended to be added in game updates that are expected to be released in intervals approximately three months from each other. Content available at Early Access launch will include: single player and online co-op multiplayer modes along with NVIDIA GeForce NOW support, eight unique characters, including six starting characters and two unlockable characters, more than 40 tactical quests, including in-depth tutorial missions, more than 100 choice-driven events, and the ability for players to build their own Outpost, by constructing buildings and completing events which will lead to unlocking new game features. Whether you’ve played hours upon hours of the board game or if you’re a newcomer, you’ll be able to jump in and get right into the action immediately.
