The iconic board game FROSTHAVEN now has an official release date for its dark fantasy tactical RPG video game adaptation.
FROSTHAVEN is a board game turned turn-based RPG where the player uses movement and action cards to control the characters. Some of these cards are even able to have synergistic effects with other teammates’ actions. The teammates in question have access to numerous character classes and skill sets available to play with as well, which are even more refined after all of the fan feedback the developers have gotten after its long stint in early access.
“Our players have been crucial in shaping Frosthaven,” said the Game Director of FROSTHAVEN, Hristo Petkov. “Throughout Early Access, we’ve listened closely to feedback and improved many aspects, including onboarding, user experience, systems, and overall polish. Our full launch in October is a reflection of that collaboration, and we’re excited for players to see how far we’ve come.”
Early access won’t last for much longer, though, as the game will officially release on October 15th, 2026. This release is only for PC, though, and only on Steam or the Epic Games Store. The early access version is on sale for 25% off until July 9th, with the full game also available with the same purchase once it releases in full.
On launch, FROSTHAVEN will come packed with a multitude of features. These include things like a complete story campaign, all 17 playable heroes, and house rules so anyone can adjust the gameplay to their own style. Plus, the best feature of any game, a full lore codex that explains the deeper information of the FROSTHAVEN world. All of these features are made even better with the local multiplayer that lets you and your friends start your journey through the north together.
“I am beyond happy with the final result of all of Snapshot’s hard work,” said CEO of Cephalofair Games and creator of acclaimed board games Gloomhaven and Frosthaven, Isaac Childres. “It has been a joy to play Frosthaven as a video game experience, and I think Snapshot has really done right by all players – keeping the gameplay in line with the original board game, while also improving onboarding and UX for new and old players alike.”
In anticipation of the October release date, fans of the game can get more of their FROSTHAVEN fix either through the early access copy on Steam or through the official website.
