Gloomhaven News

“Another street fight broke out... it was commonplace in the lower town. This time however, the crowd around the two concerned caught your attention. As you get closer, you manage to discern an imposing horned figure in the crowd, obviously settling her score with a thief who had the misfortune of trying to steal her purse full of gold. A new mercenary has arrived in town—and it seems that she was not alone. A figure covered in armor put an end to the combat, separated the attackers and settled the conflict in a few well thought words. Her large, mysterious eyes displayed considerable pride and disdain. Maybe a second recruit for your guild?”





Always eager to prove herself in a challenge, the first mercenary is a warrior willing to go to any lengths to keep her people safe, including sacrificing her own life. Careful, as the more wounded she becomes, the more dangerous it becomes to fight against her! Welcome the Berserker!



The second mercenary who joined the fight is from a unique race never seen in the Early Access… They often travel the world, seeking out situations where they can demonstrate their brilliant powers. Proud and diplomatic, you can count on her abilities to protect your fellow mercenaries. Recruit the Sunkeeper!





Discover the all-new biome and venture out with your mercenaries along the city streets. From the merchant lane, to the upper town, pass through the shacks, walk the alleys with your mercenaries and enjoy the new features of this specific biome!

• Rediscover the third AI adapted to the city streets: several criminals roam the city, and you can count on the guards to help you stop them. On the other hand, you too are a potential target for anyone with enough money to put on your head …
  
• Begin a scenario with your mercenaries scattered around the map! Your team of mercenaries will start the scenario scattered alone or in pairs in different rooms. Time to adapt your strategies to regroup and to eliminate every enemy encountered.

With the brand new city biome comes fearsome new enemies! Do not be fooled by the presumed prosperity of the place: you are bound to attract unwanted attention during your journey in town… Keep an eye on them, and make sure to always stay on your guard, for many dangers are hiding behind the apparent calm of the streets:

• City Archer
  
• City Guard
  
• Ancient artillery
  
• Harrower Infester
  
• A new boss: Merciless Overseer

Restore peace and order through several new missions, guildmasters!

• 7 story missions: you will soon learn that a terrible plot is at work in the city. Whether it is for gold, fame or justice, you are the only one who can dismantle this organization and save an entire people.
  
• 2 relic missions: powerful items could greatly help your Guild members during their missions…
  
• 10 journey missions: the map is getting bigger! Discover new places and pocket gold coins by completing the journey missions.
  

Adding an “undo button” was definitely one of the most requested features since the beginning of Early Access. We took your feedback into account and we are pleased to announce that the “Restart Round” option is now available. Once the round restarted, the seed of the enemies’ moves won’t change. You can now redo your last actions safely to recover from a grave mistake that might have been made in error and change the previously selected cards.



You will also be welcomed by an all-new bug report option in game! From now on, when you will be encountering an error pop up, you will be able to report the issue directly from the game. The main advantage is that your save will automatically be sent to the developers, along with your report. This will greatly help us investigate the various bugs. Our community means a lot to us and we are very grateful for all the help we are receiving during this Early Access!



All this great news is without counting the amount of new items added, the UI improvements and bugs fixed! Make sure to read the full patch notes here.


The city’s gates are now open, waiting for you, guildmasters! Battle through death and despair to satisfy your greed!

“Once back in the capital, your steps instinctively led you to the most popular and busy shopping street in the city. Along the long cobbled street, many merchants scammed discounts, invitations to visit a store or to taste a local specialty. Your gaze nonetheless lingered on a small fountain, in which several pieces of copper and sometimes even shirt buttons were withering away. Sitting on the stone edge, a young Quatryl, lute in hand, hummed a song. When she noticed that her performance was being carefully listened to, she smiled at you. After whispering the last words and the last music chord, she held out her feathered hat towards you, obviously looking for some gold coins for the performance you just listened to …”
