[Video] Frosthaven Leaves Early Access as Version 1.0 Launches on PC With Full Campaign and All 17 Heroes
Frosthaven, the tactical role-playing game developed by Snapshot Games and published by Arc Games, left Early Access on October 15 with its version 1.0 release for PC on Steam and the Epic Games Store, rolling out on October 16 in some regions due to time zones. The game adapts the board game by designer Isaac Childres, the follow-up to Gloomhaven.
Frosthaven entered Steam Early Access on July 31, 2025, with roughly one-third of its planned content, eight characters and more than 35 quests. Version 1.0 completes the full story campaign from the tabletop game, including its climactic final chapter, and brings the complete roster of 17 playable heroes, with the final hero joining at launch. Players start with six classes — Banner Spear, Boneshaper, Drifter, Geminate, Blinkblade and Deathwalker — and unlock more as the campaign progresses. Under the developer's earlier published plans, the complete campaign contains more than 130 quests.
The release also adds a digital-only introduction, Road to Frosthaven, with a tutorial and interface guidance to help newcomers learn the game's famously dense systems; the introduction is also available as a standalone demo. An in-game Codex collects lore, characters, creatures and biomes, highly requested house rules are included, a new intro cinematic has been added, and online co-op has been improved.
Set at a frozen outpost at the edge of the known world, the game sends its heroes across and beneath the dark waters of the Biting Sea to recover an ancient artifact before it falls into the wrong hands. It supports solo play and online co-op.
Steam lists the game at $39.99 with a 30 percent launch discount; owners of the Early Access version receive 1.0 as an update at no extra cost. The developers have also released the version 1.0 intro cinematic as a standalone video.
