Greetings, Ravens!

We’re two weeks into the launch of Ravenswatch 1.0 on Steam, and our teams at Passtech and Nacon would like to reiterate our gratitude for your reception of the game! Even after launching four titles in the past and almost twelve years of existence as a studio, it’s always an incredible journey and thrill to release a new game. To see your passion, love, and support for Ravenswatch is the best reward a team could have!

While some members of the team are working on the console versions of Ravenswatch (November 28th for PlayStation and Xbox, later on Nintendo Switch), the others are already building the future of the game!

We’re happy to give you some news for our post-launch plans and a glimpse at some behind-the-scenes of the production of Ravenswatch.

Post-launch Roadmap

This first year of post-launch support will be the occasion to bring more variety and replayabilty to Ravenswatch. Our focus will be on enriching the game's three Chapters, by adding new activities, map events, new enemies, challenges and exciting battles. Major updates will be free for everyone to enjoy.

Of course, another focus is on HEROES! Throughout the Early Access of Ravenswatch, but also the short time after version 1.0, you were able to share a lot of your ideas and suggestions about the cast of the Ravenswatch. Passtech Games is already working on the line-up of this first year (and even beyond…), and we have some crazy ideas coming up that we cannot wait to reveal to our community! Heroes DLCs will be paid content to support the game's development, but will be accompanied by minor free updates as well.

This roadmap is deliberately not detailed to leave us room for surprises, new ideas from the community, and time to work on the updates/DLCs. We'll share more about our plans in our future vlogs and dev diaries. We’re also taking good notes of your feedback, QoL requests, and suggestions to add along the way.

Behind-the-scenes

Passtech Games presents "How to Make a Hero", a three-part series on creating Ravenswatch and its iconic characters!

From character concepts to Heroes playable in-game, the team goes deep into our processes, giving exclusive details about the last hero to join the Ravenswatch to date - Carmilla - and sharing an intimate look at life in the Passtech studio.

We hope you enjoy these videos! Feel free to drop a comment to share your thoughts!

More “behind the scenes” from our artists! Head over to Artstation to look at the massive Art Blast of Ravenswatch from our talented team.

A word from our Art Director:

Originally posted by Valentin André-Terramorsi:

“Almost four years ago, we set out to make a game that would build and improve upon the foundations that were our previous titles. The obvious challenges would be crafting a good multiplayer experience and growing the studio to tackle a bigger development scope than ever before. Artistically, we knew we wanted to keep our stylized approach to making good-looking games, and with the world of Reverie where tales and legends coexist, it just felt obvious to embrace an illustrative art style.

"Make a screenshot look like it could have been hand-drawn” was perhaps a bit ambitious as a goal, but it is the kind of compass you need to guide you through a game’s development. It always felt like we, 2D artists, were illustrating a book that 3D artists magically brought to life. As is often (if not always) the case, we didn't nail it on the first try; but I never doubted that we were on the right track, all thanks to the talented people I have the honor and privilege to lead at Passtech Games (AND the rest of the studio of course, but we’re here to talk about art, sorry guys).
It is a bumpy ride trying to achieve such a distinct look while continuously improving your home-made engine. Looking back, I can’t believe the amount of basic tools we had to build from scratch, and how many tricks and techniques we had to come up with so that one could immerse themselves in this aesthetic. It can be frustrating to think that most of those efforts end up being invisible to the players’ eyes. On the other hand, we’ve seen countless reviews praising how the game looks, so I can safely say it wasn’t all for nothing.

Also, the fact that you are reading this means that some of this background work is about to get the audience it deserves!

Allow me a cheesy analogy: Ravenswatch started from the idea that we could make a game starring heroes that would come together to face titanic challenges, each with their own personal strengths. I hope you understand where I’m going with this while browsing through the work of the Ravenswatch artists. I genuinely mean it.“

• HUD: Major additions and improvements to the user interface have been made

  • Pack Leader
• Progress to Rank 9

  • 🐦 Jindou Yun: set Power stagger to 30 for each strike (reverted previous patch change)

Design Notes: As for Heroes, magical objects have received much feedback and suggestions to make them better and more balanced.

Greetings, Ravens!

What a big day! Passtech Games & Nacon are delighted to announce the official release date for Ravenswatch 1.0. After over a year of Early Access, we’re excited to share this next step for our beloved game.


Check our Release date announcement trailer:

That’s right! The Witch Baba Yaga will be the final challenge for the Ravenswatch. Some heroes mention this witchy figure in their memoirs; did you catch it?

Ravenswatch will also be released on consoles a few months after the PC release, just enough time to pass certifications on those platforms.

If you’ve missed our previous announcement, we unveiled Carmilla - the 9th hero to join the Ravenswatch! She will join the rest of the cast on September 26th as well. Learn more in our latest news:

Greetings, Ravens!

Excited news today! As you just saw in the title of this blog post, we’re announcing the last hero joining the Ravenswatch in version 1.0: Carmilla!

You may wonder who she is, so take a look at our video presentation of this enigmatic dhampir:

NOTE: Work in progress visual and audio feedback, general HUD/UI, and specific to Carmilla

Congratulations to those who guessed we were making a Vampire character or even Carmilla (you were not many!)

You all know the very famous figure of Count Dracula from Bram Stoker's novel. Our version of Carmilla is inspired by the Irish short story from Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu[en.wikipedia.org]. The Gothic novella predates Dracula and was one of the first vampire fiction released in 1872.

Original illustration of Carmilla by David Henry FristonSeparated from the love of her eternal life in the war against darkness, Carmilla now fights to extinguish those she holds responsible for destroying her happily ever after. She is a dhampir, a day-walking vampire, drinking blood to strengthen her powers while taking care to control the monster within. Carmilla is physically fast and ferocious - her wit also has fangs.

In Ravenswatch, Carmilla is described as a bewitching woman, torn between humanity and vampire savagery. She embodies the vampire fantasy and she can build up unnaturally strong abilities with BLOOD.

Carmilla’s gameplay is unique and oriented towards resource and risk management. Some ABILITIES generate BLOOD that can be used to fuel other ABILITIES. But keep track of how much blood you possess as using BLOOD when you don't have any will consume HEALTH instead.

She’s a tricky character that you’ll have to get used to, particularly her blood management mechanic. But once you get the hang of it, she’s ruthless!

We hope you enjoyed this short presentation of Carmilla, the next hero to join the Ravenswatch!

Carmilla will be available to play in version 1.0, and we cannot wait to see you try this new hero!

Stay tuned because we’ll soon have more information to share about the full release of Ravenswatch. Perhaps even in a few days at Gamescom for the 2024 Future Games Show[www.futuregamesshow.com]… 🤭

Greetings, Ravens!

It’s already our tenth Dev Diary! Boy, we’ve got things to say! Thanks for taking the time, as always, to read our deepest thoughts on the development of Ravenswatch in Early Access.

We’re taking the necessary time to polish and balance the game's overall experience before launching Ravenswatch in version 1.0. But that doesn’t mean we can’t show what we’re working on! Let’s dive in, shall we?

Leaving Early Access soon

Ravenswatch’s Early Access is coming to an end! After over a year, we’re getting ready to launch the game in version 1.0 in the coming months.

There is no date to reveal yet, but be sure you’ll be the first to know when the information is out.

In preparation for our 1.0 release, we plan to adjust Ravenswatch’s pricing on Steam on August 1st. Ravenswatch will then be at its final price of $24.99. We’re giving you this information a little in advance so you still can grab Ravenswatch at its Early Access price until then - even better, as we have a discount of 25% off running starting today! It’s time to tell your friends!

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/2071280/Ravenswatch/

If you purchased Ravenswatch during Early Access, the price increase will not affect you.

Stay tuned for the release date reveal!

What can you expect of version 1.0?

A new Hero joins the Ravenswatch!

The long-awaited new playable character of the Ravenswatch will make their debut in version 1.0. We’re still keeping their identity a secret a tiny bit longer, but we thought, why not share some stuff about their personality?

Oh, and by the way, we’ve NEVER seen their name suggested in all the forum posts, messages, and topics we’ve read - Although some of you have come pretty close! Now that’s a pretty good hint…

Skins or “Outfits”

If you've played the game recently, you may have noticed the Skins section in the Book menu. Version 1.0 will bring “Outfits” unlockable behind specific (and sometimes hidden? 😈) conditions!

We cannot resist showing you a tiny glimpse of the many outfits Heroes of the Ravenswatch will get to wear:

Endgame

And the thing we want to talk about the least because we want to keep as many surprises as possible: the ending!

Just know that we’re working on an epic encounter with the FINAL BOSS of Ravenswatch, the one that even makes Scarlet tremble as a wolf. We'll be properly introducing this charismatic figure in due time.

A lot more is coming with version 1.0. To name just a few: achievements, endings for each character’s memoirs, more stats at the end of run results screen, and YES - the display of crit chance and crit damage stats in the HUD:

We’re taking this opportunity again to thank every member of this community! Your support exceeded our expectations, and we could not have gone through this Early Access without it. We look forward to sharing Ravenswatch 1.0 with every one of you and new players!
