One of the most popular board games right now, Lionhead employees.
Is this exciting to me? It is. Gloomhaven is on PC Gamer’s best board games lists. It's currently the top-rated board game of all time on hobby board gamer bellwether BoardGameGeek.
Gloomhaven digital won’t be a direct translation or 1:1 recreation of the tabletop game, but instead an adaptation of the experience like Mansions of Madness: Mother's Embrace. Expect the developers to take advantage of the Early Access model to take community into on what elements from the analog edition need to be in.
There's not much else in the way of information on Gloomhaven digital other than an atmospheric trailer. What we do know for sure about is this: Instead of a third-person tactical game it’ll be a first-person dungeon crawler, though Asmodee says it will retain the original's turn-based combat. It won’t launch with multiplayer, but the developers aren’t ruling that out.
Asmodee Digital will be working with designer Childres on the adaptation. It'll initially launch on Steam in Early Access, and has a Steam page URLalready, though it doesn’t seem to be live quite yet.
