Frosthaven Early Access ‘Legacy of the Algox’ update now available

New storyline, playable heroes, quests, and more.

The second Early Access content update for Frosthaven, dubbed “Legacy of the Algox,” is now available, publisher Arc Games and developer Snapshot Games announced. It adds a new storyline featuring the local Algox tribes, a new pet, three new playable heroes, five bosses, two biomes, and additional quests and upgrades.

Here is an overview of the update, via Arc Games:

In Early Access from Snapshot Games, led by CEO Julian Gollop—the creator of X-COM, with board game creator Isaac Childres from Cephalofair Games on board as a consultant, Frosthaven introduces the “Legacy of the Algox” storyline. With the Unfettered threat finally dealt with, the heroes of Frosthaven turn their attention to the escalating Algox conflict. An Algox messenger arrives, bringing information about a possible resolution. Now the heroes of Frosthaven must decide the fate of the Algox and shape the legacy that will define their future. Something ancient and malevolent stirs beneath the ice.
Adding to a storyline filled with political intrigue and cooperation, three new character classes—“Astral,” “Drill,” and “Shackles”—introduce playstyles and abilities that will dynamically shape party builds and strategies:
“Shackles” developed the ability to control pain itself, redirecting damage and harmful effects from his allies and aiming it towards the enemy.
“Drill,” an ancient machine made from various Unfettered parts, is a heavy-lifting tank class and offers melee combat and impressive defensive capabilities.
“Astral” is attuned to the elements, utilizing them to empower attacks, heal, and if needed, even manifest crystalline weapons to their aid.
Also joining these heroes is an additional pet, totaling 11 pets so far for players to discover and capture! Summon your pets from the Stables, bring them into battle, and activate unique and powerful abilities, adding strategic depth beyond standard item cards.
