In development from Snapshot Games, led by CEO Julian Gollop, who’s best known as the creator of X-COM, with Isaac Childres serving as a consultant on the project, Frosthaven is a dark fantasy tactical RPG evolution of the board game experience, where players can expect deep mechanics and challenging yet immensely satisfying gameplay both in Single Player and Co-Op Online Multiplayer.

As a spiritual successor to the board game Gloomhaven, seasoned veterans of the original board game or the video game will feel right at home venturing into the unforgiving and treacherous northern frontier of Frosthaven. Newcomers to the franchise can begin their epic adventure into the stunning world of Frosthaven, learn the game’s mechanics in an in-depth tutorial and choose from various difficulty modes tailored to their skill level. 

With Frosthaven, the brand-new character classes, each featuring unique playstyles and abilities, make it so that every decision matters. Players will need to 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.

Arc Games, in partnership with Asmodee and Cephalofair Games, announced that Frosthaven 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 Twin 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.

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. 

To celebrate Frosthaven’s Early Access launch on July 31, Arc Games is thrilled to feature Frosthaven at Gen Con 2025, the largest tabletop game convention in North America, starting on July 31 and ending on August 3 at the Indiana Convention Center!

“After our very successful Steam Next Fest demo last month filled with incredible support from players around the world, we’re thrilled Frosthaven will be launching in Early Access in just two weeks,” said Julian Gollop, CEO of Snapshot Games. “From all of us at Snapshot Games, we really can’t thank our community, friends and colleagues enough for all of the support and sticking with us as we’ve worked on bringing the beloved board game into the digital realm. Launching Frosthaven in Early Access will be just the beginning, as we want the community to be part of the game’s development journey, and the community will be instrumental in helping us to balance the experience, evolve the designs and make a better, more performant, versatile and complete game ultimately. We really can’t wait for players to join us in the treacherous northern frontier to bring Frosthaven to its full potential!”
