Hello adventurers of the Frozen North!
We believe today’s patch is a nice surprise for you all for multiple reasons, but the key one being is we’re introducing a new mini-campaign, “Road to Frosthaven”, which was designed by two legendary masterminds: Julian Gollop, known as the creator of X-COM, and Isaac Childres, the creator of the Frosthaven and Gloomhaven board game!
ROAD TO FROSTHAVEN - EXPLAINED
The “Road to Frosthaven” is a mini-campaign consisting of four missions that chronicle a group of heroes on their journey to Frosthaven. It serves as a prequel to the main story, and the last quest was designed by Isaac Childres.
You can find it by selecting “Campaign”, then selecting “New” and in the “Choose Your Campaign” screen, you’ll see it as a new middle option between Training Grounds (tutorials) and Frosthaven (main campaign).
We highly recommend for new players to playthrough the “Road to Frosthaven” along with “Training Grounds” before starting a Campaign, as you’ll be able to get a better understanding of the game’s mechanics and be properly introduced to the world of Frosthaven! That said, we think the “Road to Frosthaven” could be fun for veteran players to playthrough as well 😊
One of the main and major pieces of feedback we’ve received from players not as familiar with Frosthaven is for us to improve our onboarding experience. We think this is one major way of us improving that experience, and are excited to hear what you all think about the “Road to Frosthaven”! As we continue our Early Access journey, we’ll of course continue to listen to your feedback and make changes, like this one, to the game before it enters 1.0 next year.
With the rundown of “Road to Frosthaven” completed, it’s now time to share Patch Notes! Check them out below.
