Studio Releases New Gameplay Trailer for Frosthaven

Version 1.0 releases October 15.

Snapshot Games release a new gameplay trailer for Frosthaven. It offers a glimpse into what players can expect for the 1.0 version.

This turn-based and choice-oriented RPG is set in the depts of the Biting Sea and invites players to face the challenges on their own or in co-op multiplayer. It tells the story of an ancient and immensely powerful artifact that has started to send visions of unrest and calling out to be found once more. The heroes of Frosthaven now has to venture both above and below the sea’s dark and icy waters to secure the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands.
