Whether you are drawn to the lands of Gloomhaven by the call of adventure or by an avid desire for gold glimmering in the dark, your fate will surely be the same.

Gloomhaven, the digital adaptation of the acclaimed board game, mixes Tactical-RPG and dungeon-crawling. Its challenges, legendary for their unforgiving nature, reward only the most daring players with the sharpest minds. With your party of fearless mercenaries, you will carve your way through terrifying dungeons filled with increasingly horrific and powerful monsters to reap the rewards…or die trying.

In the digital adaptation of Isaac Childres’ ultimate strategic board game (6 Golden Geek awards, “Board Game of the Year” in 2017), developed by Flaming Fowl Studios, you play as a squad of 2-4 mercenaries each with a huge selection of unique abilities.

Acclaimed by both board game players and critics (highest rated game of all time on BoardGameGeek.com), this turn-based tactical RPG set in a unique medieval dark fantasy universe, rewards strategic planning and problem solving. Prepare yourself fully for every journey by picking your party members and their abilities wisely, because in the turmoil of battle, your team synergy and tactics are all that will give you the upper hand. The world of Gloomhaven is unforgiving, so if you enter a dungeon ill-prepared, don’t expect to leave.

If you survive your perilous journey, you’ll gain the opportunity to upgrade your abilities, purchase new gear and unlock new mercenaries. Those party enhancements will help you to overcome malicious bandits, hordes of beasts, horrifying demons, or whatever else may find itself blocking your path. Nevertheless, there’s more than just one way to crush your foes and no decision should ever be made lightly, so advance with caution!

Gloomhaven Roadmap Updated
Sat, 28 September 2019

The adventure continues...

This week was a real milestone in Gloomhaven Digital's adventure: we released the first major update including:

•   a fifth mercenary, Tinkerer, including all of his level 1, and 3 of his X cards, as well as 10 cards to unlock while leveling up
•   the highly requested tutorial
•   a slew of features and content following community feedback including, the removal Durability from the game, the implementation of X cards for the all the current mercenaries, etc.

But it is just the beginning, and many milestones will appear throughout the Early Access of Gloomhaven: due to the overall complexity of the rules, UI/UX and general design of Gloomhaven, we are relying on your engagement and feedback to ensure we develop a great video game based on an incredible board game.

As you can see, the roadmap has evolved since we are planning on changing our development priorities based on the communities feedback and responses.

But we can assure you that we are eager to test the full campaign AND multiplayer on steam… but good things come to those who wait.

Our next major content update is planned for Q4 with Mindthief, new environments, new enemies, bosses, more cards for released characters, new items, perks & enhancements. But fear not, as we will be radually be rollin out more new content and features between these major updates as well.

MINDTHIEF

The animalistic race of Vermlings do not hesitate to form hunting packs to survive in the dangerous world of Gloomhaven. Feared and shunned, they're forced live reclusively in the human society.

To avoid harassment, some will flee to the sewers and form strong bonds with the rat population. Without their pack, they can always try to rise to the height of Mindthieves and master powerful psychic powers... once this level is reached, they make for terrifying opponents.

Discover the Mindthief with our all new trailer:

Gloomhaven’s First Community Challenge starts January 23!
Fri, 24 January 2020


Well, if you thought the unforgivable world of Gloomhaven was too challenging, sit back and take a breath!

Starting now, we are officially launching the Gloomhaven’s Community Challenges!

Throughout the year, you’ll have to work as a team and face challenges as a community in order to unlock exclusive skins for each of the mercenaries available right now. Each challenge will ask you to push your limits and work as a global squad of fearless mercenaries during a limited time to reach a common objective. When the challenge is complete, the skin will be available for every player to choose in-game.

Look at the Nightcrawler skin for Scoundrel - already available in Gloomhaven’s Early Access.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/4f30fa0ca8fda602d406d30b23e64ae31ebbefc2.jpg)

The very first challenge will take place from January 23 to February 06.

Dear warriors, here is your first community challenge:
Reach 250 000 enemy kills with any class.

The class with the highest kills during the challenge duration will be released in an upcoming update. This will also determine the order in which skins will be released for the future community challenges! Do note that the Scoundrel already has her skin unlocked for all, and as such is not a part of this event.

We’re not sure if love can survive on those dungeons, but this will be our Valentine gift to you… ever so slightly in advance.

As we wish those skins to be a surprise to every player, we’ll only let you have a quick look at them…

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/cb7cd94f47f110317d2c4bde7c64c0afec29c786.jpg)

Follow your progress as you and your teammates get closer to the challenge’s achievement on Facebook, Twitter and Discord where we will post updates on the evolution of the challenge.

It is now time to call for help, gather your allies and go through the dangerous dungeons of Gloomhaven in order to accomplish this objective. You don’t want to miss out on the chance of unlocking this special skin!

Thu, 6 February 2020


Find out which skin will be unlocked first!
Greetings mercenaries!

We're happy to announce that the goal of 250,000 kills has been achieved within the allotted time, you have actually managed to kill more than 265,000 monsters in the dungeons of Gloomhaven!

That's a lot of monsters, but who killed the most? Cragheart, Mindthief, Spellweaver, Brute or Tinkerer? Below you can see which mercenary achieved the most kills to know not only which skin will be released in the upcoming patch, but also the order the skins will be released for the future Community Challenges!

1st place: Brute Boneguard
2nd place: Spellweaver
3rd place: Cragheart
4th place: Mindthief
5th place: Tinkerer

As Brute has the most kills, their skin will be unlocked soon in an upcoming patch release. But because we know you want to see exactly what that skin looks like, let's show off this awesome picture!

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/6742ba949e6f11cb4df2bdbdda9b0529e948e138.jpg)

We'll see you soon for another Community Challenge to be able to unlock the next skin in line, for Spellweaver!

Until then, continue clearing those dungeons, and we'll see you in Gloomhaven!

Road Event Writing Contest
Tue, 11 February 2020

Become a part of Gloomhaven!
"Hear ye, hear ye!" shouts the town crier in the square outside The Sleeping Lion. "We are seeking all those willing to go down in the annals of Gloomhaven's history and become a part of this world forever!" You leave the tavern, with your curiosity piqued—interested in whatever offer it is the town crier is making.

"If you can place two words on paper, or have a penchant for writing, then tell us your tales about your encounters while on the roads of Gloomhaven. Tell us your story and we will add three of Gloomhaven's favorites to our history, forever!"

Congratulations to you mercenaries. You've made a name in Gloomhaven’s annals of history.

“A crowd was beginning to gather in front of the billboard of the Sleeping Lion Inn. Mercenaries, bards, and commoners clashed in the hope of distinguishing their written name from the precious piece of parchment placed against the panel.

You could hear some people jostling, on the verge of drawing fists and swords. Others sighed loudly when they discovered that their text had not been retained. Eventually, you manage to get close enough to catch a glimpse of the names of the proud winners whose adventures would be told beyond the plains of Gloomhaven.”

In order to better fit with the world of Gloomhaven and ensure game balance, we reserve the right to slightly modify and adapt certain passages and rewards so that they are in perfect harmony with other road events. Don’t worry! Any potential changes will be minimal, so as not to taint your work!

In addition to this we also wanted to state that Asmodee Digital and Flaming Fowl Studios are being impacted by the current health crisis, just like many others. We want you to know that everyone is safe and currently working from home to stay that way. This however does mean that we are delayed in our ability to both deploy and develop new patches and content. We are doing our best to ensure that we are updating the game as often as possible and do apologise if updates are coming in slower than previously. We are also working on some major changes and updates which we will be talking about in more detail in the coming weeks and months.

We have taken into account your desire to be able to play multiplayer during this difficult period. Although we are still working on it diligently, here is an exclusive sneak-peek of the multiplayer mode! You deserve it!

Become a Guildmaster
Thu, 11 June 2020

Learn more about our new mode and what is to come for Gloomhaven!

“After fighting the most ferocious monsters and the most cunning bandits, after traveling the plains of the continent, you thought you were at the end of your adventures ...

Pressed on the bar, sipping a well-deserved drink, fatigue could be read on your face. Then a hooded figure appeared next to you. Large horns protruded from his hood. With a quick wave of his hand, he ordered a full mug. Without saying a word, he slid a piece of parchment folded in half towards you on the counter.

Arching an eyebrow at the stranger, you grab the paper to discover its contents while the mysterious messenger finishes his glass suddenly and turns on his heels towards the exit.
Your eyes are returned to the parchment. A complete map of the lands of Gloomhaven, showing precisely the location of new equipment, formidable and powerful mercenaries to recruit and more ...

You thought you were at the end of your adventures ... So now discover the new Guildmaster mode!”

Greeting mercenaries!

As some of you have guessed, we have been working hard lately on a whole new way of adventuring throughout Gloomhaven. Since the release of the early access we have gathered very valuable feedback and requests from your reviews and comments.

We are delighted to present to you, Gloomhaven Guildmaster: a new game mode coming in the early access. It is the largest update so far bringing highly requested changes and new content. Its objective is to both deliver the most gripping & enjoyable early access Gloomhaven experience AND to make a huge step in the direction of the board game campaign implementation.

Here are few of many changes planned for the Guildmaster update coming on the 25th June:

1.   Manage freely your roster of mercenaries at any point of your adventure.
2.   Revamped the out-of-dungeon experience with new missions/objectives/stories.
3.   Reworked the tutorial and introduction to gameplay mechanics.
4.   Cave biome and its monsters added
5.   Co-op multiplayer in beta

https://youtu.be/veT3A_YjGII

 
GATHER YOUR MERCENARIES AND BECOME A GUILDMASTER
As a Guildmaster, you will take control of a Guild of Mercenaries who see an opportunity to make a lot of money by reopening trade routes across the town while everyone else is too afraid to do it.
Thanks to the feedback given by our players, we understand that you wanted to be able to actively change your mercenary roster whenever you unlocked a new slot in your roster or when we added new mercenary.

In the Guildmaster game mode, you will be able to form your own company, modify freely your roster, and try out the best team synergies.

We also understand that from your comments that the game was lacking objectives and goals as you play. In this update, you will take on over 90 challenging new missions to liberate areas of the map, uncover mercenaries’ stories, unlock powerful items, or simply earn extra gold pieces as hired blades. New characters will follow the company in their journey and give out missions and rewards. Finally, we received reviews from new players regarding our learning curve and the gap between our tutorial and the in-game experience.

This is why in the Guildmaster update also brings a reworked tutorial and a well-paced introduction so that newcomers and Gloomhaven experts alike will be able to discover and rediscover the core gameplay mechanics of Gloomhaven, as well as some of the advance mechanics brought by each mercenary.

A lot of the hidden gameplay mechanics and programming code implemented in this upcoming update brings us closer to the full launch of the board game campaign that includes, but is not limited to:

•   Multiplayer co-op mode in beta
•   Narration in and out of dungeons
•   Possibility to change rosters
•   Multiple new dungeon modifiers and objectives
•   The addition of the Temple
•   New monsters

These are just a few examples of features and mechanics that are necessary to achieve one objective: deliver the greatest Gloomhaven digital adaptation with all the original board game content and campaign.


Please note that the guildmaster mode will replace the current adventure mode, therefore your progress will be lost. This is due to the way that the two modes work differently and how progress is measured, unfortunately progression cannot be translated between the two.

NEW BIOME: VENTURE OUT IN THE DARK CAVERNS… !

A brand new environment has been discovered!

Prepare to discover the cave biome and its formidable enemies. If fighting a bear is part of your daily activities, beware of the imposing stone golem! Also try not to disturb the sleep of the drakes or vipers. That said, their scales must be worth their weight in gold…

CO-OP MULTIPLAYER: CLOSED BETA LAUNCH ON THE 25th JUNE!

Also we’re not forgetting the multiplayer co-op mode, which is on the top of our priority list. We know you’re very impatient to try it and so are we!

We’re very pleased to announce that co-op multiplayer will be available in closed beta for a short period on the 25th and will later be released into open beta.
We've taken the decision to launch it first in closed beta in order to make sure it is stable enough before officially creating a beta branch, where everyone will be able to give it a try.
If you wish to join the multiplayer co-op closed-beta on the 25th June, you'll have to join our official Discord, where there will be a channel dedicated to this specific closed-beta.

Click here to join the official Gloomhaven discord!

Please note that these decisions are taken only to provide you with the best experience possible for this very awaited feature!

WHAT’S NEXT?

This is the largest update so far in the early access bringing both new content and community requested changes and improvements. We’re getting closer to the campaign thanks to these reworks and massive changes. As some of you requested, we have updated the roadmap in order to give you an overview of future updates and content to come. The journey is still on! We still plan to launch the multiplayer mode in Q3, alongside The City update. So stay tuned for more details on that in the future!

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/8761c8f1d16143194ff4e50ab78a3624165e5dca.jpg)

So what are your thoughts about the changes coming? We can't wait for you to try out all of these new exciting features! We will reveal more and explain further the new mode to you in the days to come. Stay tuned for the upcoming posts!

Learn more about the new Guildmaster Mode and its systems!
Fri, 19 June 2020

Recruit, travel, pocket: found your Guild

“Once you’ve purchased a few potions and your equipment was ready, you faced your group. The Scoundrel finished sharpening her knives, while the Tinkerer tightened the last bolts of its latest wacky invention. Who knows what kind of damage that little thing could do thanks to the enchantress...
On the good advice of the trainer, you are about to go to the neighboring town to inquire about bandits who are demanding a tax from the surrounding farmers.
The merchant gave you a broad smile and wished you well, knowing full well that the sponsor had called in professionals. After a short visit to the temple, to ensure the good will of the gods, you head towards the exit of the capital, ready to start hunting…”

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)

Greetings mercenaries!

Following our last announcement about the upcoming Guildmaster mode, we wanted to share with you more details about it! As you may know, the current Adventure mode will be replaced by the Guildmaster mode on June 25, in which you’ll discover a more immersive and progressive gameplay. It is indeed a new way of looking at the game, while adding as you go along, essential bricks of content for us to build the final campaign.

https://youtu.be/veT3A_YjGII


This time, we’ll talk about the Guild itself, and which improvements it brings. As the continent faces the arrival of bandits and monsters, the roads are not safe anymore. As a guildmaster, this is an opportunity for you and your mercenaries to make a few gold coins out of this mess.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)

UNLOCK YOUR FAVORITE MERCENARIES AND SWITCH ROSTERS

The first step will be unlocking your mercenaries scattered across the map. Here, you will have to recruit them yourself through dedicated missions! The game starts with Brute from the tutorial and you will then proceed to unlock the other five starting characters.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/b4c4d04deb02061c633d58a1125c964cf4dbb883.jpg)

Once your team is assembled, the new Guild interface will allow you to change your roster. Between each dungeon and quest, you will be able to customize your company as you see fit and create your own hired blades raiding party. You are free to create parties of two, three or four mercenaries and change rosters between each dungeon! The choice is yours. Note that the enemy levels will still adapt according to the team you have chosen and the levels of the characters in it. Manage your roster and groups of mercenaries, from the most aggressive to the most cunning, by adapting your strategy to each new dungeon! Each character has its strengths and weaknesses, so make sure to balance your team before you embark on your adventure!

Being able to switch your party members between scenarios is one of the several necessary steps for us to take on our way to the campaign from the board game. The long-term goal always remains a complete and faithful release of the original board game campaign. The Guildmaster mode and the board game campaign will be two seperate game modes, allowing you to experience two completely different adventures in Gloomhaven Digital.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)

BIND YOUR ITEMS

In the all-new Guildmaster mode, you’ll be able to bind items to a specific character.
This prevents you from constantly switching the items between each of your characters, these guys are protective of their gear! Each item will be “bound” when equipped to a mercenary, which is another step towards the campaign mechanics. Please note that to retain flexibility in Guildmaster, you can unbind items for money.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)

WELCOME YOUR NEW ADVISERS!

Rest assured that you will not be alone as a guild master, you can count on your new advisers to support you in all the new tasks you will be responsible for, such as organizing your guild members and assigning them different perks and items.
4 new NPCs have been added in this new mode, allowing you to benefit from their advice throughout your adventure.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/cbd20007ea10c1f30153a396671b92e539262d0d.jpg)

The Trainer: You can count on the help of the Trainer during an entirely reworked tutorial. He’ll stay by your side during the game, sharing with you the best strategies and more! Moreover, he brings with him all the back end achievement systems, allowing you to unlock specific new missions and rewards by completing set requirements.

The Merchant: The merchant always has the business acumen! You’re always welcome in his shop. Furthermore, he has traveled a lot and surely knows his way around the region. Now, is he tagging along for money? Probably, yes.

The Enchantress: Inspired by your desire to rid the region of its ills, this mysterious woman will offer you her services by enhancing your abilities.

The Keeper of the Oak: She runs the Temple which allows you to be blessed in the next scenario. It is always good to be in the good grace of the gods…

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)

We are planning other more detailed posts on the new Guildmaster mode and its many improvements; stay tuned for it! We sincerely hope that these changes delight you!

Don't forget: see you on June 25 for the arrival of the Guildmaster mode, the Gloomhaven adventure goes on!

Begin your quest and explore the lands of Gloomhaven
Tue, 23 June 2020


Discover a new way to explore these vast lands!

“The sun was strong this afternoon. Your steps were heavy on the stiff earth and the stones of the imperial road. To this must be added the endless political speeches of the wealthy nobleman who paid you a favorable sum to be escorted to the neighboring city ... The undead and other monstrosities that prowled the lowlands made every excursion outside the cities perilous. This contract was an opportunity to pocket a tidy sum, given the status of your employer. That said, your group of mercenaries does not go unnoticed and you feared an ambush at each crossing. And rightly so…”

Greetings mercenaries!

Let us introduce you to another aspect of the upcoming Guildmaster update! This content release will bring you a whole new look at the game, with a greater immersion, especially thanks to the management of your Guild and its members and the variety of missions that will present themselves to you. The story lines and the way they have been exploited is all new! Therefore, to all the board gamers out there, you’ll be able to rediscover the lore of Gloomhaven from a new perspective! We hope this new content will delight you, as well as the neophytes.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/364be21bb18884b2c2486c386190fbd60afa9b9f.jpg)

Since the bandits and monsters made their way through the lands, people are afraid to leave their homes, making impossible trades and connections between towns. As a guild master, your mission will be to make the roads safer, not without filling your pockets in the process … Let’s see further what this journey has in store for you!

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)

NEW TYPES OF QUESTS ARE WAITING FOR YOU!

Journey missions
These missions are taken to unlock new locations. Once your group of mercenaries is recruited, you’ll be able to explore the map and different towns and places thanks to the journey missions. The more you’ll explore, the more the map will be revealed to you. Liberating the region will also provide you with new missions to do and a handful of goods stocking your Merchant’s inventory!

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/357249f3aad973704ddbeb3716fd2710f2b16bf3.jpg)

Story missions
Once certain locations are unlocked, you’ll be able to try your luck in recruiting a mercenary! Each one of them will also bring a unique story line to the table. Learn more about their past and motivations thanks to these new immersive quests!

Relic missions
These quests are unlocked by the Trainer and give you access to secret, powerful artefacts scattered throughout the lands of Gloomhaven.

Job missions
As a guild master, your priority is to make gold, by exploiting the current context in which the region is struggling with. The Job quests are the recurring missions that will allow you to earn, among other things, money, experience and other generic rewards.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)

MISSIONS OBJECTIVES AND DUNGEON MODIFIERS ARE HERE!

In addition to all this, each quest you carry out will be punctuated by very specific mission objectives, such as defeating a specific enemy, killing as many enemies as possible or protecting a character... Adapt your strategy and the management of your cards in order to fulfill the mission objectives!

We are also adding modifiers! These will also deeply affect the way you play in a dungeon: a mission that appears to be a milk run would sound different if all your mercenaries started it wounded, right ?

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bea8fd5a004e296df076a583f9a187f98f540e84.jpg)

More missions are to come! As new content and new mercenaries are added, you’ll be able to discover their unique stories through dedicated quests! We will also bring new modifiers and objectives for the dungeons to get closer to the huge content of the board game.

The all-new Guildmaster update is now live!
Thu, 25 June 2020

Try now the biggest patch in Gloomhaven's Early Access history!

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/af80af91c8452ae7a3f47a2532a3c27bcb159448.jpg)

“You carefully take out the pendant and hand it to the merchant. His gaze becomes more attentive as he looks at the relic. He swiftly takes his eyeglass out of his pocket and brings it to his eye. Carefully, he takes infinite time examining the jewel from every angle.
"By the gods! Do you have any idea about the value of this item?!"

His gaze then falls almost by reflex on the Mindthief behind you, the last mercenary to have joined your guild. Clearly, the Vermling made a culprit of choice in the theft of such an object. You quickly take the object from the merchant's hand and put it back in your satchel.
"The relic comes from an abandoned temple in the mountains, I did not steal it.
- Damn lucky guy! adds the merchant, you could get a good price if you sold it!"
It is an option to consider ... But you could feel the magic emanating from the medallion. Keep it, for now, it may be useful for your future missions.”

CO-OP MODE AVAILABLE IN CLOSED-BETA

One of the topics you’re most waiting for! As announced in a previous blog post, the co-op multiplayer is now available in closed-beta for a short period. In the following weeks, this very awaited feature will be released into open beta, where everyone will be able to try it on a dedicated steam branch!
That decision was taken in order to provide you with a stable version of the multiplayer co-op mode. We refuse to deliver a rushed adaptation of it, and the closed-beta is a way to gather feedback from our most dedicated players and resolve the last issues remaining before launching it in open beta.

As usual, we count on your feedback, bug reports and suggestions to improve it and deliver at the end the best adaptation of the initial board game. You have an impact on the way we intend to deliver the final version of the game and we’re grateful to have a community so involved in this project.

Thank you so much for your continued support and be on the lookout for the next updates!

Good luck on the formation of your Guild, mercenaries and stay safe out there!

Gloomhaven’s Early Access 1 year anniversary contest!
Fri, 17 July 2020

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/2f955d0eabc0800968d2044ac6f4dabd3b80f037.jpg)

Create your own enemy boss

“You arrive near the small village described by the innkeeper. As presented by the latter, the fields around the first houses were ravaged, the earth turned over and the plants uprooted. The work of the enemy tracked by your group of mercenaries, there is no doubt.
Once in the village, only the dull sound of the wind reached your ears. The shutters were closed, sometimes covered with wooden planks as temporary protection. After a few moments, you see a woman, with a child clutching at her apron, hiding behind her.
She recognized your company and hastened to present you a huge bag of gold coins, if you could defeat the beast that has been terrorizing the area for several months now. She gave you a brief description of your prey, before showing you with a trembling hand a forest in the hills above the small farming village.

Whatever the origin of this enemy, you have never tracked one like it.”

Dear Mercenaries,

This July 17th, we are delighted to celebrate with you the 1 year anniversary of Gloomhaven’s Early Access! Many things have happened this year, and more is to come for the future. We have come a long way with you this year, and we wanted to thank you for your unfailing support.

Gloomhaven’s Early Access 1 year anniversary contest - Winner announcement!
Tue, 11 August 2020

“The world often turns on those with the best intents. Breaks us. I finally see my way of recognition. My first demonstration”.

Greeting mercenaries!

We received lot of submissions for our contest! It was a real pleasure for us to discover your creations and your terrifying bosses. We shuddered and were sometimes moved by your work, as did Isaac Childres. Here we are now at the end of this adventure, which celebrates the 1 year anniversary of Gloomhaven's Early Access.

5 BOSSES YOU DON’T WANT TO MESS WITH

First of all, congratulations to our 5 pre-selected entries! They win a free Gloomhaven’s Early Access Steam key! You convinced us with your work, and even though it was hard to decide, here are the dreadful bosses selected:

• Acadeus
• Verik the Vile
• ILcriss living blight
• King Ooze
• Snowdrift

AND THE WINNER IS...

Among these five submissions, Isaac Childres had the delicate task of selecting only one, his favorite among the panel. Now is the time to reveal his number one creation...

Congratulations to Vijay! He created a unique boss that was obsessed with recognition in the Eastern Continent as an inventor but received none. They call him Verik the Vile. The Sick, The Twisted. Atypical for a Quatryl.


He struck out alone, attempting a life in the Coin District of Gloomhaven. His gadgets were disregarded yet again by the locals, faulty or subpar. Shunned, he grew helpless. He worked, lacking sleep or sustenance. His plan was noble at first, to aid the guards with their woes of poisonous ailments; Vermlings and oozes amongst their misfortunes.

His goal was a prototype mechanical suit that matched his parameters for a demonstration. It was designed to vent away poisonous fumes through concealed compartments, protecting the wearer. Obsessed, Verik ignored his hunger and thirst for days. He grew emaciated, sickly. Desperate and reckless, he took sips of the thick sludge-like machine oil by his worktable. His thirst dissipated; his heart raced. He ravenously devoured the poisonous mushrooms gathered for his demonstration. Amidst the agony he felt, and the clawing he did to his face that night, he heard unseen whispers urging an idea. A change to his suit. An upgrade. In time, his first victim came knocking.

Verik’s face was pale and bony, scratches along his cheeks and neck; both caked with dried blood. He wore a dense mechanical suit, looking half-built attached to a face mask. There were obvious pistons, rotating gears visible. It was a dull bronze, covering most of his upper arms and chest. The power core glowed an intense eerie green. His rust-coloured gloves and the three concealed cannisters along his back hissed, connected via numerous tubes. Two built-in whirring devices along his flanks allowed spurts of propulsion. His gangly frame and wasted body mattered little.

“The world often turns on those with the best intents. Breaks us. I finally see my way of recognition. My first demonstration”, Verik remarked, holding out his glove.

A cloud of noxious gas emanated from the tubes attached to the glove, draining one of the containers in his suit. Enveloped by the poisonous gas, the choking man crumpled. The body still twitched and writhed when Verik left the city unfettered. Verik was unseen but would be heard of again in time.


As a reward, he’ll receive in the weeks to come a copy of Gloomhaven, signed by Isaac Childres himself!

We were delighted to organize such a contest and to have Isaac among the main jury in order to celebrate this anniversary with you all. We wanted to thank you for this year spent by our side. Whether you are there from the start, or whether you have joined us along the way ; whether you are introduced to the board game or an absolute beginner, your feedback and constructive criticism, as well as your daily involvement in this Early Access, have been of great help to us. Gloomhaven is a dense and complex game, and the team is thrilled to be able to work on such a project.

As always, stay tuned for more content to come!

IN THE GLOOM, YOU WILL FIND ONLY DEATH AND GREED...

Your patience is finally rewarded, mercenaries...

"How good it was to meet at your favorite table at the Sleeping Lion's Inn! Several mugs in hand, you manage to make your way through the mercenaries and locals who were feasting for whatever reason the beer gave them. Once you reached your table, you found your group of mercenaries counting the gold coins collected during your mission. An entire dungeon of bandits nullified—no survivors—and pockets full of gold coins, this is why you raise a glass tonight.”

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)

Introducing the new Online Co-op Mode & an all-new mercenary
Thu, 17 September 2020

(https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/21b18d3afef2c58b4568661cc394f6610c0911fd.jpg)

Fight alongside your friends and welcome a new recruit to your Guild!

“Once back in the capital, your steps instinctively led you to the most popular and busy shopping street in the city. Along the long cobbled street, many merchants scammed discounts, invitations to visit a store or to taste a local specialty. Your gaze nonetheless lingered on a small fountain, in which several pieces of copper and sometimes even shirt buttons were withering away. Sitting on the stone edge, a young Quatryl, lute in hand, hummed a song. When she noticed that her performance was being carefully listened to, she smiled at you. After whispering the last words and the last music chord, she held out her feathered hat towards you, obviously looking for some gold coins for the performance you just listened to …”

The gates have opened! Discover the new major update of Gloomhaven Early Access!

“Another street fight broke out... it was commonplace in the lower town. This time however, the crowd around the two concerned caught your attention. As you get closer, you manage to discern an imposing horned figure in the crowd, obviously settling her score with a thief who had the misfortune of trying to steal her purse full of gold. A new mercenary has arrived in town—and it seems that she was not alone. A figure covered in armor put an end to the combat, separated the attackers and settled the conflict in a few well thought words. Her large, mysterious eyes displayed considerable pride and disdain. Maybe a second recruit for your guild?”

Gloomhaven’s third community challenge starts now!
Tue, 1 December 2020

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/c4670d823468b07d3792f8b6e5838e2dc4d74b71.jpg)

Will you succeed in unlocking the "Boulderfist" Cragheart skin?

“The queue stretched as far as the eye could see—at the end of it laid a small table with someone wearing a monocle seated at it, with a pen frantically scratching paper. Taking on a tone that was sometimes delighted, sometimes sullen, he made a list of the people who came to him. Those given a small purse went to the right, the others who were rejected went to the left; often followed by a "NEXT!". It's been a long time since we hired so many mercenaries for an adventure! This one had to be immense to have to solicit so many warriors and mages.”

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)


OUR COMMUNITY CHALLENGES CONTINUE!

Let’s keep unlocking some exclusive skins for our mercenaries, shall we?!
Let's see ... Following the arrival of the Scoundrel skin to the Early Access, after already unlocking the Brute skin by defeating a colossal mass of enemies in a limited time. You also managed to enlist a good number of mercenaries on the official Discord, thus unlocking the skin of the Spellweaver.

This time around, Cragheart is next on the list!

Here is a quick look of what you can expect from this skin:

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/ae20a909c24797760b1bd2a09d8dfd379a046a35.jpg)

GATHER YOUR GROUP OF ADVENTURERS: THE MULTIPLAYER WEEK BEGIN!

To unlock the Cragheart skin, this time you will have to complete as many dungeons as you can in online co-op!

You have one week (until 08/12) to complete 12,500 scenarios, as a community.

Join the thousands of daily players and combine forces in the online co-op mode to complete as many scenarios as you can! If you manage to accomplish this challenge, you will be awarded the Cragheart skin!

If you are looking for mercenaries to play with, the best way is still to join our Discord server and post a message in the dedicated channel: https://discord.gg/Gloomhaven

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY CHALLENGES, IF YOU MAY…

We have noted during previous community challenges the mistrust of some with regard to the setting up of these events, which could potentially affect the smooth running and progress of Early Access.

Note that the inclusion of exclusive skins in no way affects the work rate of the team in charge.

There are many jobs within the same team, and the setting up of these events is not a priority over the general progress of Early Access. The addition of a new skin does not in any way differ from the dates indicated on the roadmap! Our goal is to offer you exclusive and challenging content while waiting for the arrival of the next major update! We hope that many of you will take part in the challenge!

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/bc2c3d7a3c7cb89554ba055f5bc1bbd87793e3eb.png)

The foul stench of the sewers radiates from below the city... but one can also perceive the sweet smell of discounts!
“As you walk through the streets of Gloomhaven a foul stench awakens your senses. Your head immediately jerks up at the sudden odour that permeates your very being. As you gaze around you notice a group of mercenaries which are walking past, covered in a variety of severe injuries, slime and waste… as you glance back along the path of wet footprints they left, you notice they lead to an open sewer grate in the city’s street. You wonder what would drive adventurers to explore such a horrible place, then it dawns on you; fame and gold! You hurry to your guild, ready to lead your mercenaries on a new adventure!”


PREPARE TO VENTURE INTO THE SEWERS
The latest release for Gloomhaven has arrived; prepare to adventure into the dark and seedy underbelly of the city, a place where disgusting, dangerous and powerful foes lurk. In this new update, we will be releasing a mass of new content that you will be able to explore, combat and use to your advantage! With an entirely new Biome, the Sewers, you will encounter four new enemies, a new boss, and even two new mercenaries that have found their way into town!

Careful, this trailer contains spoilers:

https://youtu.be/3TjxnJpiVXk


WINTER HAS COME TO GLOOMHAVEN, SO TO HAVE SALES!
If the frigid winds outside, or the cries of your friends have not already lured you to create your own guild in Gloomhaven, then this might do the trick! Until January 05, Gloomhaven’s Early access is discounted by 32% as a part of the Steam Winter Sale. Be sure to tell your friends, family, Inox neighbour and anyone else who will listen. Travel the lands of Gloomhaven together as you crush your foes, gaining fame and fortune in the process!

Gather around adventurers, as The Wise & The Resourceful update is now available
Wed, 17 March 2021

Plans have been laid out to raise an undead army, will you be able to thwart them before they realize their malfeasance?

Three days. It has been three days since you entered this godsforsaken dungeon.

The Brute has shattered his sword and now fights with his bare fists while your armor has more holes than leather at this point...

Oh, you were prepared! You brought food, water...you even had a PLAN!

Well it wasn't enough. The bones are rattling again behind the door, searching for you and you are stuck with this useless glyph.

Even the Spellweaver could not decipher it as it kept phasing in and out.

Your employer paid you well, that’s true, but why does she keep sending you to these deadly places looking for useless rocks?

If only you had listened and used the gold to recruit the newcomers...

Ancient beings are being hunted down across Demonsgate… Will you be able to unveil the conspiracy?

A chittering hooded figure is getting assaulted in broad daylight- it has become a common occurrence in these days. Sadly for the aggressors, this one fights back; well... bites back? You're not sure really.
As you're wondering about the proper nomenclature, the man starts screaming as he witnesses his flesh turning green then black, whilst his companions are drawing their weapons, unsure about what's happening.
As soon as you move in to help the assailed, two other men drop dead on the floor, several black arrows piercing their back. As a tall character emerges from the shadows, the remaining assailants start running away from their certain doom. But can they really outrun this one?

Gloomhaven 1.0 available now
Wed, 20 October 2021

From gloom, only death and greed emerge… and occasionally, the wild Gloomhaven v1.0

A band of battle-scarred mercenaries violently opens the door of the Sleeping Lion. Not the best tavern in town but not so shabby as to deter bounty hunters, ruffians and other unsavoury folks. Once seated, a beer in each hand, their leader clamors with a distinctive deep voice:
“We’re back lads! Do you smell this? The scent of opportunity! We’ve left the city for two years, we’ve become Guildmasters and taken our fair share of loot, but Gloomhaven has called us home.”
With a quick glance, he notices several people whispering and counting their gold whilst looking around.
“It seems like work is back on the menu.”

Soon enough, a heteroclite group of small-time adventurers approaches him, seemingly confused.

“Well, well, what do we have here? Green blood! Whaddaya want? A contract? An advice? A hug mayhap?”
Without giving them a chance to answer, the veteran mercenary grabs one of them by the collar and mumbles:
“No hug for you, but let me give you a piece of advice, if you’re looking for mercenary work, we’ve heard there’s a Valrath looking for hired blades capable of tracking down some stolen documents. Go see her if it is in your line of work. Now get lost!”

GLOOMHAVEN 1.0 RELEASED

MacOS Release & Development Update
Thu, 25 November 2021

MacOS users rejoice! And more development news.

MACOS RELEASE DAY HAS COME UPON US

Good day, glorious adventurers!


Today is generous with us, as Gloomhaven is finally available on macOS.
*YAY*


We worked hard to release a macOS version that would be fully stable and of a quality level we deemed appropriate for Gloomhaven players.
As of right now, we are happy to announce that we have met the standards we set for the macOS version to be released, hence this brilliant update.
We are very excited to be giving macOS players the opportunity to join us on Gloomhaven.
Welcome!


What about the specs tho?

You will find below the minimum and recommended specs to run Gloomhaven on your beloved and dear macOS!

MINIMUM

OS Version: Big Sur (11)
Processor: 2.7GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: 4 GB

RECOMMENDED

OS Version: Monterey (12)
Processor: 3.2GHz
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: 8 GB

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

MERCENARIES!

We heard you.
We received lots of feedback regarding the enhancements and randomness issues, and thanks to you all, we have been able to carefully evaluate and discuss these topics.
The next major update coming in December will thus implement the following changes:

Enhancements:

We are working on implementing the permanent enhancements for the retirement system from the original board game to the Gloomhaven Digital Campaign. This will be a toggleable option in the campaign that will allow a mercenary to keep their enhancements after they’re retired. Consequently, if you or another member of your party wants to play the same character, the unlocked enhancements will remain.
In the non-permanent enhancements mode, the enhancements’ pricing will be reduced and rebalanced to allow you to create new build ideas. These changes were approved by Isaac Childres and his team.

Game variant - reduced randomness:

This board game variant allows players to reduce the variance in damage caused by the x2 (or “Bless”) and x0 (or “Curse”) attack modifiers by instead treating them as a +2 and -2 modifiers respectively.

> These are two of the numerous improvements and changes we will be bringing in the upcoming update next month.
We felt it was cool to let you know we were working on these specific two as there has been a huge demand and tons of feedback about it, and since we’re cool, too. <

Meet Voidwarden and Demolitionist

Greetings, fellow mercenaries!

Now is the time for you to meet the remaining two mercenaries from the upcoming Jaws of the Lion DLC: Voidwarden and Demolitionist.

As a reminder:


Each of these characters brings something new to combat within Gloomhaven Digital, including their own unique powerful ability when they reach level 5 so be prepared for spoilers about their gameplay and stop reading now if you want it to be a surprise!

[Note: some parts of this article are hidden under black lines to avoid spoilers - Hover over them if you wish to reveal the content!]

The important thing to know is that these characters are available to use in your core Gloomhaven scenarios and core mercs can take part in Jaws scenarios, neither are limited to their own content, so the amount of combos has increased massively.

(https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33333530/24fc63ab7c7b87272da80ac898fe3fc363f7ff4f.png)

Control Freak

The Voidwarden has access to a wide range of abilities, suited to almost any occasion, as long as that occasion involves an assortment of fangs, claws and various rusty weapons pointed in your direction. She excels however at control, both via classic crowd control abilities, debuffing multiple enemies or by directly controlling ally or enemy actions. The sheer range of options for her top and bottom half abilities can be intimidating at first.

Also, due to her ability to buff her allies (often with minor drawbacks) she performs better in larger parties where there are more mercs to aid and more enemies to exterminate.

The first ever Gloomhaven DLC is out. Join the adventure now!

You and your group are sitting down for some cold brew in the Sleeping Lion after a hard day's mercenary work. Protecting that merchant was too troublesome... Suddenly a peculiar Orchid covered in an innumerable amount of crystals approaches and sits down at the table.

Looking from under her shadowed hood, she begins speaking.
"So you're the the mercenary group I've heard about?"
She looks around the table.
"Not that it says much coming from the people I heard it from. But I'd like to know what kind of feats you can muster."
She eyes each of you intently, measuring your value to her.
"Prove your true worth." She snaps "Accept the challenge that is coming and uncover all that lies beneath the veil..."

A chill runs down your spine at her final words, but before you can consider responding to the ludicrous comments of this crazed Orchid, she disappears in an instant. Your group stares quietly at one another, wondering what kind of wild and harrowing adventure awaits you all...

Adventurers, will you please gather round on this glorious day? Greetings!

A sinister cabal started abducting the less fortunate of the city... and it somehow falls to you to get to the bottom of it. Thankfully, in Gloomhaven, salvation has a price...

Jaws of the Lion is finally out! Here is what you will find in this brand new DLC:

    4 news mercenaries: the stalwart Red Guard, the fearsome Hatchet, the explosive Demolitionist and the mysterious Voidwarden are waiting for you
    25 new scenarios giving you access to more than 30 hours of exclusive content
    10 new monster types and bosses
    22 new city events that will put your moral compass to the test
    10 items that will provide new ways to defeat your foes
    24 Battle Goals to let down your group over whole new reasons
    A fully voiced campaign by Alec Newman
    Partial Demolitionist rework and overall perks improvements for the digital version


You will be able to access the DLC through Gloomhaven’s story campaign, unlocking Jaws of the Lion’s missions after the second campaign scenario.
Alternatively, you will be able to play with the new mercenaries and items in the Guildmaster and Story campaigns. Jaws of the Lion can be played solo or in coop mode for up to four players.
To access The Jaws of the Lion content in multiplayer Coop every player has to own the DLC.

You can buy it right now on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1809490/Gloomhaven__Jaws_of_the_Lion/

Black Barrow. Haunting my dreams, shadowing my days.
Deep within, I fear what lies below - what we faced. Yet, here I am again, alone.
I'm the Brute, I kill what people fear.
I’ll kill my fear too.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

•   You can only gain access to the DLC missions at Level 5 in the Story Campaign.
•   When a mercenary reaches Level 5, they are able to undertake their own Solo mission.
Alternatively, you can gain access to the DLC unique rewards in the Guildmaster Mode when completing the 2nd Story mission for each mercenary.
•   You only gain access to the items if you complete the missions, these items cannot be sold or bought by other characters.
The mercenary has to attempt the missions on their own and if they are successful, they are awarded their specific Solo item. This item cannot be sold or bought by other characters, and any later mercenaries of the same class must also complete this mission to unlock it.
•   You can play these missions online in a Multiplayer game, but your co-op companions will be in spectator mode, watching you hopelessly try to survive.
•   You can also play these missions offline. Then, to import the fruit of your hard labor to any game, it will be automatic if you’re the host, and if you are not the host and join a game, the host has the option to import any Gold, XP and Item you gained in the Solo Scenarios.

Note - DLC enabled save games cannot be reverted to non-DLC games.
