Ravenswatch

Ravenswatch is a dark, top-down action roguelike. Instead of working through a linear campaign with one fixed character, you take on heroes from fairy tales and myths and face the nightmares of Reverie in replayable runs. Characters such as Little Red Riding Hood, Sun Wukong, the Snow Queen or Beowulf are not just costumes: each brings its own combat logic and different build options.

The game is developed by Passtech Games and published by Nacon. Following Curse of the Dead Gods, the studio again focuses on demanding real-time combat, now combined with a selection of legendary characters. The game can be played solo or online with up to four players.

La versión para PC comenzó su acceso anticipado el 6 de abril de 2023 y salió como versión completa el 26 de septiembre de 2024. Las versiones nativas para PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One y Xbox Series llegaron el 28 de noviembre de 2024. La versión para Nintendo Switch salió el 23 de enero de 2025.

Ravenswatch saldrá el 10 de diciembre de 2026 para Nintendo Switch 2 en Europa. En Norteamérica, la versión independiente llegará el 18 de diciembre de 2026. Quienes tengan la versión original para Switch recibirán una actualización gratuita.

Ravenswatch está disponible de forma nativa para PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S y Nintendo Switch. El 10 de diciembre de 2026 llegará en Europa una edición independiente para Switch 2, y en Norteamérica el 18 de diciembre. La nueva versión no equivale a la compatibilidad con versiones anteriores de la edición de Switch.

El juego admite un jugador y cooperativo online de hasta cuatro personas. Las distintas habilidades de los personajes se pueden combinar dentro de un grupo.

Each run takes place in one of three areas, whose themes include enchanted forests, One Thousand and One Nights and Arthurian legend. The maps vary, and a cycle of three days and nights sets a time limit for exploration, battles and preparing for the chapter boss. If you pursue side activities, you need to weigh which upgrades can still be reached before the decisive fight.

Characters have different attack, special and defensive actions. Level-ups unlock talent choices, items change damage or protection options, and combinations create new builds. The developer lists over 200 talents, more than 50 magic items, four difficulty levels and customisable game modes. The long-term structure is driven by unlocking new options rather than an always identical sequence.

After the full release, Ravenswatch has been expanded with new heroes, cosmetic packs and free system updates. The additional characters include Merlin and Romeo & Juliet. Cosmetic skin packs, on the other hand, mainly change how the characters look and should not be equated with new campaigns.

On Oct 12, 2026, the paid Kintarō Hero DLC adds the Japanese legendary hero and his bear Kuma to the game. The hero switches between riding the bear and fighting alongside it. The accompanying free update reworks more than 50 talents and introduces customisable multiplayer lobbies. As a result, the hero and co-op selection in particular changes long term; individual balance values do not belong in the permanent game description.

The official PC minimum configuration lists Windows 10 64-bit (version 1909 or later), an Intel Core i5-4670K or AMD FX-8350, 8 GB RAM, and a GeForce GTX 960 with 2 GB or a Radeon RX 470 with 2 GB. DirectX 12 and about 3 GB of free storage are required.

Recommended are an Intel Core i7-6700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, 8 GB RAM, and a GeForce GTX 970 with 2 GB or a Radeon R9 Fury with 4 GB. These details come from the Steam listing and do not automatically apply to other platforms.

Online co-op supports up to four players. Alongside shared character building, the game offers matchmaking. The free October 2026 update adds custom lobbies, so the desired number of players can be set more precisely when searching for a group. A connection indicator helps you judge latency within the group.

Hero development stays intact in co-op: a group has to decide how their abilities complement each other, instead of managing one shared talent tree.

Ravenswatch saldrá el 10 de diciembre de 2026 para Nintendo Switch 2 en Europa, y en Norteamérica el 18 de diciembre. La nueva versión nativa debería funcionar, según Nacon, a 60 imágenes por segundo, con resolución Full HD y texturas mejoradas.

Quien ya tenga Ravenswatch para Nintendo Switch recibe gratis la actualización a la edición de Switch 2. La edición física de Switch 2 incluye, además de las actualizaciones anteriores, nueve paquetes de DLC. Entre ellos están los héroes jugables Romeo, Juliet y Merlin.

La actualización gratuita a la nueva versión de consola y el contenido adicional de la edición comercial son dos ofertas diferentes.
