Frosthaven 1.0 Leaves Early Access October 15: Full Campaign and All 17 Heroes

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Frosthaven leaves Early Access on October 15, 2026. Snapshot Games and Arc Games release version 1.0 of the PC adaptation of Isaac Childres’s board game that day, with the full campaign, its 17 playable heroes, House Rules and an introduction called Road to Frosthaven.

Update, October 26, 2026: 1.0 did launch on October 15 on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with a 30% launch discount on Steam (Games Press, Final Weapon). On Steam, player reviews sit at “Mixed” (69% of 979 reviews, Steam page).

The long road to 1.0

Frosthaven entered Early Access on Steam on July 31, 2025. According to Notebookcheck, that first version offered only about a third of the planned content: eight characters and more than 35 quests across Acts 1 and 2. The 1.0 date was announced on June 30, 2026.

The game is developed by Snapshot Games in Sofia and published by Arc Games, based on Isaac Childres’s board game (Cephalofair Games). It costs €38.99 on Steam, which is $39.99 as the reference price.

Full campaign and 17 heroes

1.0 adds the final chapter of the board game’s campaign and completes the roster at 17 playable heroes, the last one arriving at launch. Six classes are available at the start: Banner Spear, Boneshaper, Drifter, Geminate, Blinkblade and Deathwalker. The others unlock as you progress.

The final character, the Shattersong, only opens very late, a few missions before the end of the story. That is what Snapshot Games’ Hristo Petkov told Wargamer. The same interview gives 137 missions, 64 of them in the main story.

House Rules, Road to Frosthaven and co-op

1.0 brings customizable House Rules, which let players adjust the game to their style, and difficulty modes aimed at newcomers. Road to Frosthaven is an introduction built for the digital version, with a tutorial and an improved interface. A standalone demo has also been announced.

A Codex in the game, new unlock videos presenting each hero’s playstyle and an opening cinematic complete the list. Online co-op, for 2 to 4 players, gets network improvements.

What to watch

The main risk is online co-op stability. On paper the announced network improvements address it, but a 137-mission campaign copes badly with desyncs, and only launch will show whether they hold up.

There is also how readable the adaptation is: the board game’s action cards have to stay clear on screen, and Early Access could only show that on a third of the content. For anyone undecided, waiting two to three weeks for post-launch feedback remains a prudent choice.
