An all new patch for Gloomhaven has now arrived. This is our first of many major content updates that we will be delivering over the course of the Early Access phase of the game's development.

Don't forget that with this update we have also launched our Publisher Weekend sale, which includes Gloomhaven at 10% off. If you or a friend have been considering getting Gloomhaven, with the release of the tutorial and a sale on top, now is the best time to do it!

The Tinkerer

Gloomhaven's fifth mercenary is now available, including all of his level 1, and 3 of his X cards, as well as 10 cards to unlock while leveling up. Featuring a distinctive gameplay as a support-orientated mercenary, the Tinkerer provides new options and synergies when combined with the rest of the roster.

Tinkerers are a fairly common class of Quatryls, with an innate affinity to engineering and machinery, the Tinkerer is an expert in crafting all manner of gadgets and elixirs. His buffs and debuffs, combined with strong mobility and decent damage makes it a valuable addition to many rosters.

The Tutorial

A highly requested feature that we are pleased to now have available for any struggling or new adventurer arriving at the Sleeping Lion. To help more players to enjoy the digital Gloomhaven experience, this tutorial covers all the combat basics for new players. Turn structure, movement, card abilities, damage, target priority and more: the tutorial aims to help new players better understand the strategic depth, and its opportunities.

Be sure to try it out from the main menu if you or someone you know is wanting to improve their abilities as a mercenary in Gloomhaven.

My items and I are...UNBREAKABLE!

Due to the enormous amount of feedback that we have received since launching the Early access, we have made the decision to remove Durability from the game. This will allow players to better build their characters the way they want, and experiment with a wider selections of items and combos.

In the same vein, we have also changed the way failures work—when you lose a dungeon now, while you will still be sent back to the last town you visited, you will keep any gold, experience and items earned during your failed journey. This is to improve the experience and ensure that there is a constant feeling of progression during your adventures.

A Slew of Features and Content

There is even more for you to enjoy in this patch in addition to everything that was mentioned above:

• We've done a massive overhaul to the party selection and save files UI to improve everyone's experience with organizing their adventures and creating their group of mercenaries.
  
• The Battle Log is now implemented and available in your adventures so you can review all actions taken so far.
  
• All remaining X cards for the all the current mercenaries of Gloomhaven have been implemented.
  
• Several new items have been implemented for use in your adventures!
  
• Your travels between dungeons and towns will be all the more exciting now, with over 30 new road events now available.

Carry on, Mercenaries!

It's been a month since the Early Access release of Gloomhaven on Steam and what an adventure that was! Thousands of players created a robust and active community in here, on our social media and on Discord server (link below!). Thanks to all of your feedback we're working hard on making the experience even better!



And now, for the meat of this announcement! Statistics don't lie, you've been out hunting a lot in the last 30 days. Since the launch you've explored about 256 000 dungeons, killing astounding 2.1 million dangerous enemies! And if it took you, on average, 10 turns to get through each of the locations, that means that in 4 out of 5 turns, one of those frightening creatures would bite the dust. Good riddance!

Most of you decided to play on Normal mode (80%), which is challenging on its own, but some of the most extreme explorers dared to enter Gloomhaven in Hard (12%) and Insane (8%) modes! May they rest in piece... peace!




And for those of you who still don't feel like they quite grasped the rules of the game, we have a yet another tutorial, this time by YouTuber EnterElysium!

Once again, we want to thank you for all your support and remind you to join our communities on Discord, Facebook and Twitter!



Good luck on your adventures!
