Arc Games, a leading publisher of premium and live service titles, unveiled a new trailer announcing Frosthaven, a dark fantasy tactical RPG based on the award-winning board game. Arc Games is developing Frosthaven in partnership with Asmodee and Cephalofair Games and plans to launch it in Early Access for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on July 31, 2025, for $39.99. To celebrate the release, Arc Games partnered with Twin Sails Interactive, publisher of Gloomhaven Digital, to offer players a special bundle featuring both Frosthaven and Gloomhaven Digital. It will be available the same day as Frosthaven’s Early Access debut.
About Frosthaven
Frosthaven is currently in development at Snapshot Games, led by CEO Julian Gollop, the legendary creator of X-COM. We also have Iassac Childers, the original designer of the Frosthaven board game from Cephalofair Games, joining to help. Together, the teams are excited to bring Frosthaven to early access in just two weeks. This upcoming launch marks the beginning of the game’s journey. Players have the chance to experience the digital adaptation firsthand and provide valuable feedback. Throughout early access, the game will continue to evolve and grow, shaped by the community at every step.
The Early Access Experience
The team shared new details about the game. Players who jump into Early Access from day one can experience roughly one-third of the planned content for the full 1.0 release. The developers plan to add more content and gameplay improvements over time, with consistent updates arriving approximately every three months. At launch, players can dive into single-player and online co-op multiplayer modes.
There will also be NVIDIA GeForce NOW support. You will be able to experience eight unique characters, including six starting characters and two more unlockable characters. Then there will be more than 40 tactical quests, including in-depth tutorial missions. These include more than 100 choice-driven events and the ability for players to build their own outpost by constructing buildings and completing events. In return, this 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.
