Legacy of the Algox released for Frosthaven

Dateline: 1/22/2026

Frosthaven has launched its second Early Access update, Legacy of the Algox.

From Arc Games:

Legacy of the Algox introduces a brand-new storyline featuring the local Algox tribes, one new pet, three highly-anticipated playable heroes, five bosses, two unique biomes, and additional quests and upgrades.

From Snapshot Games, led by CEO Julian Gollop – the creator of X-COM, in collaboration with board game creator Isaac Childres and Cephalofair Games, FROSTHAVEN introduces the Legacy of the Algox content update, free for Early Access players. 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. 

FROSTHAVEN: Legacy of the Algox, the second major content update since its Early Access launch in summer 2025, includes the following features:

  • The Algox Storyline: Help your allied Algox tribe as they negotiate peace talks with their rivals and hopefully gain full cooperation.
  • New Pet: Complete your collection at the Stables with the most elusive pets, adding a dynamic advantage in battle. 
  • 3 New Playable Heroes: Unlock three advanced classes by completing scenarios and implement new diverse strategies into your repertoire. 
  • 5 New Bosses: Battle ancient foes, equipped with tactical challenges to overcome.
  • 2 New Biomes: Explore new areas and travel far to expand your evergrowing map.
  • 25+ More Quests: Confront dangerous threats and reveal more of what lies beneath and beyond Frosthaven.
  • 9 Building Upgrades: Enhance and build up Frosthaven even further.
  • Town Hall Challenges: Complete unique objectives from the Town Hall and increase your party’s capabilities. 
  • 31 New Items: Expand the arsenal of your Heroes with new items - both crafted and discovered during the new quests.
