If you enjoy independent indie game coverage, consider supporting Indie-Games.eu on Patreon. It helps keep the site independent.

Let’s start by saying that Frosthaven may not be for everyone. Much like Gloomhaven, to which it serves as a standalone successor, Frosthaven is built on the same deep, tactical TTRPG foundations. If you’ve played the tabletop version of Gloomhaven or its digital counterpart, you know exactly what to expect here.

Arc Games, in partnership with Asmodee and Cephalofair Games, has announced that Frosthaven is entering Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store on July 31, 2025. Developed by Snapshot Games under the direction of Julian Gollop, famed for the X-COM series, this is a pure TTRPG title. The game will cost 38.99 €, and patience will be essential as you play, with future content updates planned via DLC.

Set in a harsh northern landscape, the game follows a group of mercenaries fighting to protect a small frontier settlement against brutal winters and unknown forces. Players can choose from eight unique characters (six available from the start, two unlockable), each with distinct playstyles and abilities.

With over 40 tactical missions and more than 100 branching narrative events, Frosthaven offers a rich experience requiring thoughtful resource management and tight team synergy.

The Early Access version includes roughly one-third of the planned content and will receive major updates every three months, adding new missions, characters, and improvements. Frosthaven supports both single-player and online co-op for 2–4 players.
