“The time is almost here to open the gates and let all PC players from around the world have the chance to experience FROSTHAVEN in our demo, releasing June 9 for Steam Next Fest: June Edition," said Julian Gollop, CEO of Snapshot Games. “With our Closed Beta playtest a few months ago, it was extremely valuable for us to get feedback directly from FROSTHAVEN board game fans, as well as Gloomhaven video game and board game fans. The feedback and support we received was incredible. Fans shared how they loved our adaptation, and gave suggestions on what tweaks they’d like to see to make our video game adaptation even better. FROSTHAVEN will be an evolving adventure, and this upcoming demo will let us have even more players jump in and help us evolve the game before it launches in Early Access on PC this year.”
The first-ever demo for FROSTHAVEN via Steam will be available starting on Monday, June 9 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time until Monday, June 16 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. For the demo, it will have single player and online co-op multiplayer support for 2-4 players and feature a slice of what players can expect when the game launches in Early Access this year. The demo will include four unique starting character classes, tactical quests, including tutorial missions, a slew of items, and the ability for players to build their own Outpost, by constructing buildings and completing events which will lead to unlocking new game features.
This new demo will feature plenty of UI and gameplay improvements based on Closed Beta player feedback. Unlike the Beta, the demo will include voice over narration from Forteller Games, known for the beloved Narrative Companion of the board game. Arc Games and Snapshot Games are thrilled to work with Forteller in helping amplify players’ FROSTHAVEN adventure and immerse players even more in the frozen north with professional audio narration, and can’t wait for players to completely
experience Forteller’s narration wizardry when the game launches in Early Access. Also, the demo and full game will have NVIDIA GeForce NOW support, so players can stream FROSTHAVEN on any device and anywhere they want!
