The mountain is the bit of Craaghelm I want to look at first. You’re taking a dwarven king back into ancestral halls occupied by mechanical enemies. There are eight maps, and the ground can get in the way as much as the attackers do. Moving platforms and lava are among the features Mythwright lists. I’m curious where you can put a defence when part of the route refuses to stay still.
There’s a new crew to send into those passages, too. Axe throwers can reach enemies on the ground and in the air, while airships give you another way to cover the battlefield. The weapon list includes a pair of shields called Twin Bastions. I like the idea of standing at a narrow entrance with those while the troops do their work behind you.

Craaghelm needs the base game. It’s a paid expansion, including for people who already own Thronefall. The publisher lists it for Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch. The PS5 and Xbox arrival of Thronefall itself is a separate part of today’s launch.
If you’re coming back to an old favourite, the eight maps are the place to start looking for a new problem to solve. I’d take a moment to trace the route before spending the first bit of currency. A wall can look well placed until you see what the platform next to it does.
