There’s now more than one way to play the dungeon-crawling RPG Gloomhaven. Originally born as a tabletop RPG, it soft-launched in video game form on Steam Early Access two years ago. Since then publisher Asmodee Digital and developer Flaming Fowl Studios have been building up its content, and as of today, the complete and finalized version of Gloomhaven has officially launched.
Over the past two years, publisher Asmodee Digital and developer Flaming Fowl Studios have been building up a video game version of the hit board game Gloomhaven. It’s been in Early Access for dozens of months, but we hear it’s almost ready for the big time. The complete, finalized version of the Gloomhaven game will launch on Steam next month.
Gloomhaven first came into existence as a tabletop game. Designed by Isaac Childres, it gained $4.4 million from its Kickstarter campaign and more than 45,000 backers. When the game was released, BoardGameGeek gave it its highest rating and awarded it the honor of “Board Game of the Year” in 2017.

Mayfair Games, longtime publisher of tabletop activities, is closing its doors. Mayfair was one of the veteran RPG companies, having been in the business for 36 years. They’ve been watching the tabletop industry grow from the beginning, but this is the end.
