Discover and delve into The Resolute & the Virulent brand new update!
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?
ADVANCE IN YOUR QUEST AS YOU FACE NEW CHALLENGES
Our warmest greetings, fellow guildmasters! The latest release for Gloomhaven has arrived. With this new chapter, you will be able to:
Recruit 2 new mercenaries
Discover 7 new story missions
Challenge an all-new boss
Careful, this trailer contains spoilers for Squid Face and Angry Face mercenaries: [previewyoutube="3IOv70j4PCY;full"]
Pack and plan intelligently before you embark on a journey through the lands of Gloomhaven with your friends and family. Prepare to face new challenges all while amassing fortune and fame!
Your steps have led you to the gates of the city. You have just heard the news: two newcomers are looking to join the fight. Will you succeed in recruiting them for your own guild?
Esteemed guildmasters, let me introduce you to the (Squid Face) Plagueherald. Harrower Plagueheralds are a small sect of Harrowers who are one of the main reasons the entire species is in disrepute among polite Gloomhaven society. Either misguided or ignorant of other races’ physiology, Plague Heralds believe that the spread of disease throughout a society will strengthen it and propel it towards great things. “Harrower” is only the name given to this race in the common tongue, as the name in their own language of chitters and hisses cannot be easily translated. A single Harrower, as typically seen by other races, is actually a swarm of thousands of insects who have merged their intelligence to form a hive mind capable of highly sophisticated thought. They are a squishy ranged character, and thus you will want to avoid putting yourself in a position to take hits. They specialize in reducing the effectiveness of enemies or putting debuffs on enemies that will make your allies’ attacks more effective through the use of Curse and Poison. But be wary of allying with a Plagueherald, fellow adventurers, as their ability to spread decay and death across both sides of a battlefield is a terrifying thing to behold.
Let me keep you around a little longer as yet another mercenary has arrived in town. Meet the (Angry Face) Doomstalker! Though most Orchids live a life of meditation, there is a sect who believes that enlightenment should be achieved through hard work and not getting lost in thought for years on end. Because of its beliefs, the sect fled Orchid society across the Misty Sea to build farms and raise livestock in the wilds around Gloomhaven. The wilds are still dangerous, however, and the Orchid class of Doomstalkers is tasked with keeping these modest settlements safe. The calm mind of the Orchid makes the Doomstalker an excellent bow hunter. He never misses a shot. The Doomstalker is a medium-hp, giant hand-size ranged damage-dealer. And ranged damage-dealer he is, as he can inflict some really high damage from quite far away. His Doom mechanic also means that he has a unique rhythm to his playstyle that you will need to learn to master.
COMPLETE NEW MISSIONS AND FACE A NEW BOSS
Take on any of the numerous new missions brought to you in The Resolute & The Virulent update! Recruit, expand and train your team of mercenaries as you venture into 7 new story missions and prepare yourself to face a brand new boss.

Gather around adventurers, as The Wise & The Resourceful update is now available
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...
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A NEW ADVENTURE
The latest release for Gloomhaven has arrived. With this new chapter, you will be able to recruit two new mercenaries to your guild, complete 7 new missions and face a new boss!
Careful, this trailer contains spoilers for Circles and Three Spears mercenaries: [previewyoutube="4H8svmwSEx4;full"]
HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS? GOOD THINGS COME IN TWO’S
As the new chapter is released, so are discounts to accompany it. If you haven’t created your own guild in Gloomhaven yet, then this might be the decisive factor you were waiting for!
Until March 29th, Gloomhaven’s Early access is discounted by 20% as a part of the Play Together initiative on Steam.
Be sure to spread the word to your friends, family and anyone who will have the wisdom to listen. Journey through the lands of Gloomhaven together as you leave no chance to your adversaries, all while amassing fortune and fame!
LISTEN, DEAR GUILDMASTERS, AND RECRUIT THE TWO NEWCOMERS
Two new mercenaries have arrived in town and are looking for a guild to join. Come and show them how we greet newcomers in Gloomhaven!
Fellow mercenaries, welcome to town the (Three Spears) Quartermaster. Though their demon-like qualities make them feared by many, Valrath Quartermasters pride themselves on integrating well into the rest of inter-species society. It is not uncommon, then, for an army or city garrison to employ a Valrath as a Quartermaster. But lucky for you, guildmasters, skilled Quartermasters have also been known to aid smaller adventuring parties. He is a versatile melee character who can occasionally tank as well as support allies by maximizing the effectiveness of their equipment. After all, what is a warrior without a good sword at his side? But do not let it fool you, as his ability to lend a hand to his team surely doesn’t lessen his prowess to master multiple weapons and skills. The only other question you will have to answer is just how much you want to use his support side compared to his damage and tanking capacities.
Do not leave yet as we are also here to formally introduce you to another new mercenary. Meet the (Circles) Summoner! Being an Aesther Summoner, she is a particular type of Aesther. Her thirst for knowledge often gets the best of her and entices her to use their reality-bending powers to hunt it down. As a Summoner, she has learnt to coordinate her interplanar existence to transport anything, imaginable or not, between planes. However, this quickly exhausts her, so she will often stick to living things and raw energy, which are easiest to summon. She is a powerful range character who can both summon allies to the battlefield to support the party, and summon "raw energy" from across the planar boundaries in the form of ranged attacks. Her magic abilities arsenal is formidable, but it will be a challenge to learn how to make use of summoned allies effectively. Be humble and wise as your progress!
FACE ONE NEW BOSS AND DISCOVER 7 NEW MISSIONS!
Take on any of the numerous new missions that are available in The Wise & The Resourceful update! With this new patch, 7 new story missions have just been revealed and you will also have to face a new boss; so grab your weapons and find out what this newest update has in store for you.
ADDITIONAL AMELIORATIONS
We have also included some extra improvements and reworks in this new patch.
3 cards missing from previous characters have been added
UI and UX tweaks have been made to improve the overall gameplay experience:
Target selection rework
Hex targeting rework

Sewers update now available!
“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!”
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.

Careful, this trailer contains spoilers: [previewyoutube="3TjxnJpiVXk;full"]
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 YOUR MERCENARIES: TWO NEW RECRUITS HAVE ARRIVED!
Two powerful new mercenaries have managed to find their way to this town and are looking for a guild to join.
Recruit the (Eclipse) Nightshroud; not only the first Aesther to join your guild, but he is a powerful melee character who is capable of dealing large amounts of damage and has easy access to stealth abilities.The Nightshroud does however suffers from subpar movement options and inconsistent damage, so make sure you equip and build your team for this!
Don’t forget that the (Phoenix) Beast Tyrant has arrived in town as well. This mercenary is a powerful Vermling accompanied by an unbearably massive companion! This means that this mercenary has the bonus of working with 2 health bars. He is an effective tank, wielding powerful crowd control capabilities and numerous unique summons. But be wary of your bear, it has a mind of its own so controlling it correctly is the key to your success!
FACE FOUR NEW CREATURES AND JOURNEY ON 18 NEW MISSIONS!
Take on any of the numerous new missions that are available in The Sewers update! With this new patch, 7 story, 4 relic and 7 journey missions have just been revealed by the town crier; so grab your weapons and find out what dark secrets and unimaginable treasures lie in wait for you! On top of this, alongside being able to visit these new zones, you will also encounter 4 ghastly new enemies!
CHANGES TO MODDING
We have made extensive changes to the YML for this release in order to improve things for modding. The downside of this is that all gameplay mods are invalidated by this change and will need to be updated before they work again (language mods will still work though). The current release only supports Language mods as we are still in progress with the rest of this change, but once it is released we will support a lot of new functionality that has been asked for by the modding community.
Please read the full details here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/780290/discussions/0/5575984402938252279/
AND OH, SO MUCH MORE…
Much more awaits you in this new patch, including an all new Multiplayer ping system which can be used with a simple double click on a hexagon, bug fixes, UI/UX updates and tweaks, new features and far more. Be sure to head on over to the Sleeping Lion and gather your guildmates to explore the world as it continues to open up before you! If you’re interested in seeing the full list of changes in The Sewers patch, be sure to review the full patch notes here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/780290/discussions/0/1643169167151064379/#c2994296376456544564
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE...
Gloomhaven’s third community challenge starts now!
“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.”
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:
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!
Good luck to you, guildmasters! We hope you will be numerous to survive the dark dungeons of Gloomhaven during this event!
