Hello, Arkham Horror: The Card Game fans!

Back in November, during our In-Flight Report at PAX Unplugged, we gave a brief glimpse of what the product roadmap will be for this game in 2026. In case you missed the presentation or need a refresher, you can see that roadmap right here:

Today, we’d like to provide a full breakdown of what the different types of expansions for Arkham Horror: The Card Game will look like in the future. By the end of this article, you should have a good grasp of what sort of things to expect going forward, and spoiler alert: there’s quite a bit to be excited for!

Before we dive into the full breakdown, let’s establish some terminology. Going forward, there will be two main “categories” of products for the game: evergreen products and rotating expansions.

Evergreen products, as the term suggests, are products that will stick around for the foreseeable future. These form the core backbone of the game; they will remain in print and exist within the current environment.

Rotating expansions, therefore, are everything else. Each rotating expansion will be printed enough times to support it as part of the current environment, after which it will rotate out of the current environment and will only exist in the legacy environment.

As a reminder, you choose what products you want to use for your game; if you want to keep playing with your favorite expansion even after it rotates out of the current environment, that’s perfectly fine. After all, everything in the current environment is also in the legacy environment!

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s take a deeper dive at what’s coming up for the game in the future!

Evergreen Products

Since evergreen products form the core of the game, it’s only natural that the most important of those products is the core set itself! We first revealed the new core set for the game’s “Chapter Two” era back in late October, and we’re just a couple short months away from its release. This is the only product in the game line that new players need to pick up if they want to play the game. Existing players will also need to grab one if they want to play through any campaigns that come after it (which is fine, since the new core has a bunch of new stuff in it for veterans as well).

The new Arkham Horror: The Card Game core set is slated to release this March.

Following close behind the new core set is a batch of five evergreen investigator decks! Each of these decks provides one playable investigator, a pre-built deck for that investigator, and a bunch of player cards for that investigator’s class to expand deckbuilding options. These decks feature Tommy Muldoon as a Guardian investigator, Carolyn Fern as a Seeker, newcomer André Patel as a Rogue, Marie Lambeau as a Mystic, and newcomer Miguel de la Cruz as a Survivor. Between these five investigators and the five in the new core, you’ll have ten total that will remain within the current environment going forward.

All five evergreen Investigator Decks will release at the same time this April.

Rotating Expansions

Now that we’ve covered the evergreen content for the game, let’s take a look at the five types of rotating expansions you can look forward to in the future.

First up, we have a new product type, the small campaign expansions! These are just what they sound like: short, typically 3-scenario campaigns that provide a self-contained Arkham Horror experience, similar to the core set itself. These will alternate with full-scale campaign expansions (more on those in a moment) in the expansion release cadence, ensuring that you always have something new to look forward to!

The first small campaign expansion for the game is Children of Blood, slated to release late this summer.

On the topic of self-contained experiences, the much-loved scenario packs have always been a staple during Arkham’s first chapter, and that’s not changing anytime soon! These packs continue to provide thrilling standalone scenarios that you can slot into a larger campaign or just play on their own. Just like with Chapter One, you can look forward to getting a new scenario pack around once a year.

This year’s scenario pack is Traces to Nowhere, and it’ll hit store shelves this fall.

As we hinted at in the small campaign expansion section above, there will also be larger campaign expansions in Chapter Two! These campaigns feature five scenarios, with deeper narratives and impactful experiences that emphasize maximum replayability. While this product type shares its name with the campaign expansions from Chapter One, it is important to note that these campaigns will no longer be thematically tied to investigator expansions going forward.

And speaking of investigator expansions…

The investigator expansions also return in Chapter Two! Just like before, these expansions provide a suite of new investigators alongside a trove of new player cards to expand deckbuilding options. As we touched on above, these expansions will no longer be thematically tied to any campaign expansions going forward, which means you could get a campaign covering one piece of the Arkham Horror story or setting and then later get an investigator expansion that covers something completely different!

Finally, if the investigator expansions aren’t enough player content for you, then look no further than the deckbuilding expansions! This new expansion type can be thought of as the player card counterpart to the small campaign expansions for scenario content. Deckbuilding expansions will not contain any new investigators (usually); instead, they are packed full of new player cards across all five classes with the sole purpose of expanding deckbuilding options. Just like the small campaign expansions alternate with the larger ones, deckbuilding expansions will alternate with investigator expansions in the release cadence, giving you a steady stream of new customization options to look forward to.

Going Strong

With new evergreen products hitting stores soon and a plethora of rotating expansions on the horizon, it’s clear that Arkham Horror: The Card Game is here to stay. This game has a long and exciting future ahead of it, and we can’t wait to share it with all of you!

See you soon.
