Gloomhaven News

“So what, you’re a party now? A Quatryl, an Inox, a Valrath and a… whatever this one may be. Going to investigate? Don’t trouble yourselves. It is the work of vermlings I tell y’all. Ain’t nothing worse than these. Always eyeing. Always plotting. Caught one chuckling in a corner the other day. Was alone that one. Didn’t laugh for very long. I’ll tell y’all what. You prove they did it. You end them. You bring back the people, and I’ll make sure it’s worth your time.”

Lo and behold, fellow guildmasters!

A new sinister threat is looming over Gloomhaven. A series of disappearances have plagued the city and it falls upon you, brave mercenaries, to cast a light on these shadowy events.

As we roar in anticipation, here is what you can expect from this DLC:

• 25 new scenarios for 30+ hours of gameplay, leading you to the undercity of Gloomhaven.
  
• Four new playable mercenaries that can also be used in the original Gloomhaven campaign:
  
  • Valrath Red Guard (tank, crowd control), an outcast from Jhinda, wielding their own kind of weapon, a chained sickle. None shall escape the Red Guard’s grasp…
    
  • Inox Hatchet (ranged damage), a sinister marksman, hunter of beasts and men alike. Hatchet’s quarries are already dead, they simply don’t know it yet.
    
  • Human Voidwarden (support, mind-control), who survived an encounter with the void as a child and is now able to wield its mysterious powers. Minds are open books, reality can be bent… But always at a price for the Voidwarden.
    
  • Quatryl Demolitionist (melee damage, obstacle manipulation), ready to destroy anything that stands in their way towards, well… Destruction. You might want to move aside.
• 10 new monster types and bosses
• 22 new city events full of tough moral choices
  
• 10 items brought to the market through chests and scenarios
  
• 24 Battle Goals to let down your group over whole new reasons

You will be able to access the DLC through Gloomhaven’s story campaign, unlocking Jaws of the Lion’s missions after the second campaign scenario. Alternatively, you will be able to play with the new mercenaries and items in the Guildmaster and Story campaigns.

Jaws of the Lion can be played solo or in Coop mode for up to four players.

[h3]You can already wishlist the Jaws of the Lion DLC today on Steam. [/h3]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1809490/Gloomhaven__Jaws_of_the_Lion/

To access The Jaws of the Lion content in multiplayer Coop every player has to own the DLC.






Is the DLC going to be a standalone campaign?
No, you are able to integrate the content of the DLC (4 mercenaries, 10 items and 25 new scenarios) with a simple click of a button into an existing Story campaign without having to start over. Alternatively, all new Story campaigns will have all new mercenaries available from the start and the new scenario content available after core mission 2.

Note - DLC enabled save games cannot be reverted to non-DLC games.

If you play in the Guildmaster mode, once converting the save or starting a new game the 4 mercenaries will be immediately available and the items will be added to various treasure tables.

How long is the game going to be at launch?
You can expect about 30+ hours to finish the main campaign.

How many players can play together online?
You will be able to play online up to 4 players, the same as the base game. Once a saved game is converted to be DLC compatible, all players will require the DLC to be able to join.
When starting a new campaign you will have the option to activate Jaws of the Lion or play with the base game only.

Can we expect further updates / DLCs after that?
Although we cannot share anything at this point, we will keep supporting the game after the release of Jaws of the Lion.

How many languages will be supported on Jaws of the Lion?
All the languages of the base game will be supported.

On which platforms will Jaws of the Lion be released?
The DLC will be available on Steam and GoG for Windows & MacOS.

Standing in front of an ominous dungeon, Spellweaver did not feel as confident now as she did back at the tavern. Over there, she would gloat about how she earned all of these achievements. But other mercenaries challenged her, and she had to show them all... as bragging only gets you so far.

And let me tell you, her companions did not make things any easier.
Scoundrel spent quite a while staring obsessively at a nearby chest, visibly trapped, and muttering “Mine…All Mine”.
Brute, for his part, repeatedly yelled “I’ll kill them all!" and "Get over Here!” at an immobile skeleton, amidst a sea of profanities.

Suddenly, she caught movement in the shadows of the dungeon. Hungry things lurking, waiting, observing. A shiver ran down her spine, but the job had to be done. With a grim grin, she starting preparing a chromatic explosion...
A normal day in Gloomhaven.

Hello there mercenaries!

Soon, it's December. You know what this time of the year means, don't you..?
*small drum sounds for intense suspense*

[h2]IT'S STEAM AWARDS TIME![/h2]
(Yes, you probably got it wrong, we know.)

And what better Award Category for Gloomhaven than the "Best Game You Suck At", because everyone loves to hate curses and neverending oozes.
It would really mean a lot to us to even make the short list for an award and we can think of none better than this one. So get your votes in and tell all your friends and family to do the same!




Looking at where we came from, and realizing where we're standing now, it feels incredible to be in a position to compete for a Steam Award.

We're very grateful and happy to have made that journey with you guys.
From our Steam Early Access a little more than two years ago now, to the full 1.0 launch in October and now the macOS release... it's been one hell of a ride. And a wonderful one.
And we're not done.

[h3]To Gloomhaven, and to you all![/h3]

XOXO
The Gloomhaven Team
