Evaluation

Gloomhaven launched into Early Access in 2019 and reached its full 1.0 release on October 20, 2021. Since then, the game has received two substantial paid DLC expansions — Jaws of the Lion (May 17, 2022) and Solo Scenarios: Mercenary Challenges (September 22, 2022) — as well as a free cosmetic DLC, Jaws of the Lion Alternative Skins (September 18, 2023), which arrived alongside the game's console launch. All three DLC entries in the store listing are marked as released, with no unreleased content listed. The most recent developer communication on record is a feature patch on January 15, 2024, which added Polish language support, crossplay stability improvements, and various bug fixes. Before that, the September 18, 2023 update and the console launch announcement represented the last significant development push. There have been no announcements of additional DLC, expansions, or future content plans since that time. Across multiple DLC release FAQ posts (May 2022 and September 2022), the developer consistently stated they would "keep supporting the game" but explicitly declined to commit to any specific future content. These statements were made prior to the console release and the final cosmetic DLC — both of which have now shipped. No post-launch roadmap or new content announcement has followed. The last major content shipped was the Alternative Skins DLC on September 18, 2023, and the last developer communication of any kind was the January 15, 2024 patch. As of June 27, 2026, that represents over 17 months of silence with no new content or announcements — well past the pattern established by the DLC release cadence. The evidence points to a game that has completed its planned content cycle. All DLC has shipped, the console port is done, and there has been no indication of further content in development.

About this game




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

Lead your band of mercenaries through this unforgiving place, where every choice is crucial. Carve your way through terrifying dungeons, dreadful forests and dark caves filled with horrific monsters to reap your rewards… or die trying.

Sell your sword to anyone who can afford it, may they be city officials or corrupt cultists. You are paid to get results and not ask questions. Where will you draw the line?


Gloomhaven is a tactical RPG and a digital adaptation of the ultimate strategy board game by Isaac Childres (the highest-rated board game of all time on  ). Set in a unique medieval dark fantasy universe, Gloomhaven rewards strategic planning and problem solving. Face this dark world alone or in online co-op for up to 4 players!

Explore the world in a band of 2 to 4 mercenaries. Each of the 17 unique characters comes with their own skills and more than 1,000 different abilities to master! Prepare your deck of ability cards before setting out to explore the dark caves and dreadful forest of Gloomhaven through quests and events.

Once inside a dungeon, engage in tactical turn-based combat by selecting two cards for each mercenary on every turn. You can only use the top half of one and the bottom half of another, so plan accordingly!
Move up your hired blades on the hex grid terrain to take advantage of the dungeon’s environment. Set up deadly combos and unleash devastating powers but be wary of the cost. Cards are a resource as scarce and crucial as your life points, so watch out for exhaustion. Every choice has life or death consequences.


Hone your abilities during the game with enhancements and perks, while your power increases with level ups and new equipment. You need every advantage you can to survive here. So, gear up your band of mercenaries, chase powerful artifacts, buy the favor of the Great Oak, and never let your guard down.


Adapted from the original Gloomhaven Board Game, this branching campaign of 95 story missions pits your greed against your morality. Many powerful opponents are vying for control over the city of Gloomhaven while others are looking for ancient crypts and forgotten artefacts. You could always side with the inhabitants, but it may not pay well…
Whatever your path may be, it will be paved with difficult choices.


Created in collaboration with the community during the early access, the Guildmaster adventure has more than 160 exclusive digital missions that allow you to experience another facet of Gloomhaven with new storylines, quests, map and NPCs.
Lead your guild of mercenaries in a region overrun by unspeakable things, far worse than simple bandits.

Choose the best combination of mercenaries for each fight and follow their character stories in this deadly new territory.
