Announcing: FROSTHAVEN
We’re thrilled to announce FROSTHAVEN, the video game adaptation of the highly acclaimed board game from the creative mind of Isaac Childres. In development from Snapshot Games, led by CEO Julian Gollop, who’s best known as the creator of X-COM, with Isaac Childres serving as a consultant on the project, FROSTHAVEN is a dark fantasy tactical RPG with single player and co-op multiplayer support and is an evolution of the board game experience. As a spiritual successor to the award-winning board game Gloomhaven, seasoned veterans of the original board game or the video game will feel right at home venturing into the unforgiving and treacherous northern frontier of FROSTHAVEN. Newcomers to the franchise can begin their epic adventure into the stunning world of FROSTHAVEN, learn the game’s mechanics in an in-depth tutorial and choose from various difficulty modes tailored to their skill level.

FROSTHAVEN will have a Closed Beta playtest on Steam from Thursday, March 27 at 9am Pacific Time until Thursday, April 24 at 9am Pacific Time.
