Welcome to Frosthaven, the acclaimed board game now reimagined as a dark fantasy tactical RPG.
From the visionary mind of Isaac Childres, Frosthaven transitions from tabletop to screen, offering both seasoned adventurers and newcomers an immersive experience. Developed by Snapshot Games, known for titles like Phoenix Point, this adaptation captures the essence of the original while introducing dynamic elements only possible in a digital realm.
Players can dive into deep, tactical turn-based combat, facing an array of new enemies and formidable bosses. The ability card system requires careful planning to unleash devastating attacks, execute powerful combos, and ensure the survival of your party. Whether you prefer solo quests or rallying friends for online co-op multiplayer, Frosthaven caters to your strategic desires.
At the heart of Frosthaven lies its diverse cast of characters. Starting with six unique classes—Banner Spear, Boneshaper, Drifter, Geminate, Blinkblade, and Deathwalker—each offers distinct abilities and playstyles. As you progress, additional classes unlock, encouraging experimentation and synergy within your party. Balancing risk and reward becomes second nature as you navigate this unforgiving world.
Beyond combat, Frosthaven challenges you to build and manage an outpost. Constructing and upgrading buildings unlocks new game features and mechanics, transforming your settlement into a beacon of hope against the encroaching frost. The game’s stunning art style, detailed models, and expressive animations bring this harsh yet beautiful world to life, with diverse biomes, changing seasons, and dynamic environments enhancing immersion.
For those eager to embark on this journey ahead of the official release, a Closed Beta Playtest is on the horizon. Running from March 27 at 9 a.m. Pacific Time until April 24 at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, this beta offers a glimpse into the game’s evolving world. Participants will have access to 20 quests, encompassing both tutorial and introductory missions, ensuring a comprehensive experience. To join, sign up on the official Frosthaven website.
As development continues, the Early Access release plans to feature over 35 quests across Acts 1 and 2, with a total of 130 quests envisioned for the full campaign. This approach allows the community to provide feedback, shaping Frosthaven into a game that resonates with its players.
Whether you’re a veteran of Gloomhaven or new to this universe, Frosthaven promises a rich, challenging, and rewarding experience. Prepare to brave the cold, confront the unknown, and etch your legend into the annals of this frozen world. The northern frontier awaits—will you answer the call?
