Frosthaven’s First Major Early Access Update Launching Later This Month

Arc Games and Snapshot Games announced the first major Early Access update for Frosthaven. The “Awakening Protocol” update will launch on October 23, 2025. It includes a new narrative arc, three new playable heroes, new gameplay features, and more.

The new storyline sees players taking on the Unfettered, an uprising of machines left to rust who unite under an enigmatic leader. In addition to the three new heroes, the update also adds five new boss fights, over eighteen new quests, over forty new items, and new building upgrades, including the new Town Hall building. The Town Hall allows players to take on new sidequests and upgrade their party’s abilities. The update also adds new unique Challenge objectives that offer additional risk and reward for players.

Frosthaven is fantasy tactical RPG based on the board game of the same name and a spiritual successor to Gloomhaven. It sees players using action and movement cards that work together with cards held by their teammates. Players will also build up their outpost, building and upgrading structures that unlock new features and mechanics. The Early Access version is available on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with the full release expected in 2026.
