Grim Dawn: Fangs of Asterkarn Releases July 23rd 2026!

The wait is nearly over. On July 23rd, you will journey to Asterkarn and parlay with the mighty Kurn in our largest expansion ever. Wishlist the expansion on Steam now!

The team is taking an extra month to get this right, and we are making every additional day count. This is a massive expansion by every measure, an unprecedented amount of content for just $18.99 as the world of Grim Dawn grows by over 30%!

We can’t wait for you to join us in the frozen peaks.

Key Features:

  • Conquer the Ascendant Game Mode – turn the campaign world into a challenge worthy of ascendant demigods, with every dungeon and boss encounter sure to test your limits. Ascend your equipment to attain incredible new power.
  • A Transformative 10th Mastery – become a frenzied force of destruction upon the battlefield capable of shapeshifting into vicious beastlike forms. The new Berserker mastery brings the total number of mastery combinations to an astounding 45!
  • A New Chapter of Cairn Unfolds – journey West into the rugged wilderness of Asterkarn and contend with the mighty Kurn. Discover the dark legacy that continues to haunt these nomadic people and again drives them East, towards renewed conflict.
  • New Environments – discover a vast new region that expands the total game world by a staggering 32%, over 80% the size of the base game. Trek across the glorious snowy peaks of Asterkarn, delve into frozen caverns, and explore ancient forest valleys and breathtaking hot springs as you seek to purge the corruption tainting this idyllic landscape.
  • Potion Customization – alter your potions to suit your playstyle. Turn them into powerful tonics that restore your character’s vitality, or have them provide powerful unique buffs and effects.
  • Affix Transmutation – reroll your rare and magic items to perfect your equipment.
  • Crucible Expanded – delve deeper into the Crucible’s challenges with thirty additional waves (requires the Crucible DLC).
  • The Shattered Realm Grows – discover new regions and boss arenas being slowly consumed within the Shattered Realm’s unstable infinity.
  • Discover Hundreds of New Items – a veritable vault of treasures awaits you with hundreds of new Monster Infrequents, Epic items, and unique Legendary items!
  • Awaken Items – unleash the true potential of many Epic items to turn them into powerful implements worthy of Legends! Ascend items to unlock their full potency.
  • Three Factions – parlay with the Kurn tribes and aid them in rekindling old alliances as you contend with the darker side of their bloody history. Learn ancient secrets from an unusual new ally.
  • Tackle New Foes – test your mettle against new super bosses and additional Nemesis bosses for old factions. Five new hero monster archetypes populate the entirety of Cairn alongside to deliver new twists to old content.

I’m, again, going to ignore all of the content and amazing visuals despite them being a 10/10.

I’d like to just comment on the price. From what we’ve seen in the GMs this was definitely worth at least an expansion and a half in terms of price, and while I’ve had no issues setting aside the money months ago, on behalf of everyone who is having a hard time right now with everyone raising their prices, thank you.

Actions speak louder than words and Crate’s allegiance to the player base should not be taken lightly.

P.S. I hope there are more loyalist packs available for those of us who want to give back MOAR!

@Zantai and devs, we now have an interesting situation on XBOX EU thanks to Microsoft and the EU legislation I guess. I bought the game + all exp + all loyalist packs on XBOX at release. Since I’m pretty sure the situation hasn’t changed in these past months (the game has been delisted on the EU XBOX store due to idiotic requirements by Microsoft/EU) will I be able to purchase the FoA DLC at or after release with my EU account?
