AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Willow Guard is getting its Frostreign DLC on PC on April 23, 2026, bringing a new companion, expanded crafting, loot systems, and a frozen new region to explore.
Dark fantasy RPG fans have a new expansion to put on their radar. Developer updates shared via IGN South Africa reveal that Willow Guard is expanding later this month with the Frostreign DLC, scheduled to launch on PC on April 23, 2026. This new chapter continues the story of Ghweros, the valiant badger investigator tasked with protecting a remote village from mounting monster threats, as the narrative shifts toward the ancient city of Regnum Polis.
The upcoming expansion introduces a fresh wave of content tailored for players who love deep progression loops and narrative exploration. The Frostreign DLC adds a brand new companion to the journey, expanding the party dynamics with Súri, a quick-witted young wolverine orphan who steps into the role of your apprentice. Alongside this new character, players can expect fresh mysteries to unravel, expanded character building options, and deeper crafting, upgrade, and loot systems integrated directly into the dark fantasy campaign.
Narratively, the expansion picks up as an unnatural winter orchestrated by Louksna locks down the Atalaka Mountains, forcing travelers to rely on ancient portals. Complications arise when mysterious forces from the monster realm of Alteros begin tampering with these transit points. For players invested in single-player experiences with rich world-building, this upcoming drop looks to deliver more of the hand-crafted lore and tactical encounters that made the base game stand out. You can watch the official release date trailer over at IGN South Africa to catch a first glimpse of the frozen landscapes and new combat encounters waiting on the other side of the portal.
