Today we have some production updates for you on the Gloomhaven Role Playing Game and Miniatures of Gloomhaven projects.
Before we get into the nitty gritty, we’d like to briefly address project updates & timelines.
Project Tracker - June 2, 2026
Project Updates & Timelines
As physical production of these final projects ramp up, we will begin to once again provide updates twice a month to clarify timelines and share production progress until project completion.
Which means we’ll be back in two weeks (June 16th, 2026) with a dedicated update on where things stand and what the timeline for mass manufacturing is looking like.
We’ve made great progress this last month in white box samples and digital file submission and proofing—enough progress that we can now confidently start getting estimates from our multiple factories of when their production runs are estimated to complete, when our freight partners can pick up, and when our fulfillment centers will begin distributing orders.
So please check back in a couple weeks, and in the meantime thank you all for your continued patience and enthusiasm!

Gloomhaven: The Roleplaying Game-
White box samples are approved and digital files are approved! (with the exception of the outer box)
Last week we received our updated white box sample for the Deluxe RPG Set (which got our approval). This means that our production team has what they need to complete the external packaging design and submit it to our manufacturer this week.

Gloomhaven RPG - Card Tome 1 white box sample (final)
Gloomhaven RPG: Card Tome I design layout
Gloomhaven RPG - Card Tome 2 white box sample (final)
Gloomhaven RPG - Card Tome II design layout
We were able to solve our major requests and refine some elements of the box. We had tried thumb slots and ribbons for access to the components inside before concluding that the most user-friendly option was access holes in the back for pushing the card tomes and core book out of their shelves.
The top most access hole will be removed (was too small to be valuable)

The missing cubby was also added back in for the GM screen and character/company sheet pads.
All other RPG component files have been submitted, laid out into printing sheets by our factory, and digitally reviewed & approved by our team.

From here, the factory will take our approved digital proofs and begin making our pre-production copy (PPC).
Our team physically reviewing the PPC is the last step in the pre-production phase before mass manufacturing officially begins! With our approval, the factory will get started making all books, cards, boxes, etc. and assembling them for ocean freight.
Miniatures of Gloomhaven
We received additional white box samples this last week for both of the Summons expansion sets (Gloomhaven/Frosthaven). Each of these sets will be fitting a single-tray box that shares the same face dimensions of the Gloomhaven/Frosthaven game boxes.

While not reflected in this photo, we are working with the factory to make sure that summons are grouped by class in the final layout:

Additionally, each tray will come with an accompanying storage map of which models go where to aid in setup/tear down. The image below is not final.
Finally, more tray proposals were received and audited by our team for the Gloomhaven Core Set and the Frosthaven Expansion Set. For context, the base rings are just placeholders for the model quantities:

Frosthaven Miniatures Expansion Set - Tray V1 (Not final)
According to our factory, final molds are all in production and expected to finalize this month. As those round the corner, we’re finalizing our box designs and the above mentioned tray maps.
All that to say, we should be in mass production this July, and we look forward to having more concrete timelines in a couple of weeks for you, so stay tuned!
Community Spotlight
This month, we’re shining the community spotlight on Jeff over at Solo Strategic Playthroughs. Jeff has made a series of excellent videos on Youtube playing through a campaign of the new edition of Gloomhaven. The videos are well edited with clear explanations of what is going on, which is always appreciated! And the channel also has playthroughs of some other campaign games, if you are looking for more content. Keep up the great work!
