Tabletop fans and tactical RPG enthusiasts, warm up your dice and clear your hard drives. Arc Games and Snapshot Games have officially announced that Frosthaven, the highly anticipated digital adaptation of Isaac Childres’ mammoth board game masterpiece, will hit full 1.0 release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 15, 2026.

After spending a highly productive year in Early Access, the digital successor to Gloomhaven is finally ready to unleash its complete, brutal fantasy campaign on the gaming world.

What is Frosthaven?

For the uninitiated, Frosthaven is a dark fantasy tactical RPG based on the critically acclaimed Cephalofair Games board game. It takes the deep, card-driven, turn-based combat of Gloomhaven and transports players to a harsh, treacherous northern frontier. You’ll manage a mercenary party, balance risk and reward, and make agonising strategic decisions to help a small outpost survive the freezing elements—and the terrifying creatures lurking in the snow.

What’s New for the 1.0 Launch?

Snapshot Games (led by X-COM creator Julian Gollop) hasn’t just ported the game; they’ve spent the last year refining it alongside community feedback. When version 1.0 drops this October, players can expect the definitive Frosthaven experience:

• The Complete Story Campaign: Experience the massive tabletop campaign from start to finish, including the climactic final chapter.
• All 17 Playable Heroes: The full tabletop roster will be available, with the final hero unlocked right at launch.
• The “Road to Frosthaven” Onboarding: Board games of this scale are notoriously complex. A digital-only intro campaign, custom tutorials, and intuitive UI displays have been crafted to help new adventurers learn the ropes easily.
• Enhanced Co-op Play: Smoother multiplayer systems and networking enhancements will make teaming up with your friends completely seamless.
• Customizable House Rules: Tailor your playthrough to suit your specific playstyle.
• An In-Game Codex: No note-taking required! Track lore, biomes, and enemy types effortlessly.

“Staying true to the tabletop version and collaborating with the brilliant Isaac Childres and Cephalofair Games has been rewarding, and we’re proud of what the team has accomplished,” said Julian Gollop, CEO of Snapshot Games.

Grab a Discount While You Can

If you already own the Early Access version, your saves will carry over smoothly to the 1.0 launch via a free update.

If you haven’t jumped in yet, now is the perfect time. The developers have confirmed that the price will increase once the full game launches in October. However, it is currently discounted as part of the Steam Summer Sale—making this the absolute cheapest window to secure your ticket to the frozen north.

Mark your calendars for October 15, 2026, pack your winter gear, and get ready for one of the deepest tactical RPG experiences of the year.
