Meet the Heroes of Ravenswatch

In this dark and twisted reimagining of historical tales, players embody ‘fallen heroes,’ each bringing their own flair to the fight against the Nightmares. There’s Scarlet, a cursed take on Red Riding Hood, who prowls the night as a fearsome wolf; or the cunning Pied Piper, who orchestrates his deadly rodent ensemble. Icons such as Beowulf, battling with a sword and baby wyrm, or Mélusine casting powerful spell-bound water wisps, provide a variety of playstyles to conquer the world of Reverie.

Initially, you’ll have the option to choose from Scarlet, The Pied Piper, Beowulf, and the Snow Queen, but the game promises nine heroes in total. As you progress, you’ll unlock more characters—unraveling their mysteries through exhilarating battles.

Choosing the Right Hero for Ravenswatch

Deciding which heroes to add to Ravenswatch is no simple task. Every character we introduce must seamlessly blend with the current lineup while maintaining a fresh perspective on gameplay. Here’s how we choose:

• Gameplay Feel: Each new hero must offer a distinct playstyle, whether attacking from afar, up close, or breaking all traditional molds. We strive to keep every gameplay experience unique and exciting.

• Worldwide Fame: Characters are drawn from globally recognized tales, ensuring they resonate with players while fitting neatly within our universe’s context. Their stories are timeless, neither too ancient nor too modern, avoiding any clash of technology or period.

• Rich Backstories: Drawing from the heart of their original myths, we incorporate pivotal moments or objects to build our heroes’ unique narratives, creating a captivating twist as players discover their depth.

• Diverse Ensemble Cast: Our goal is to present a dynamic array of heroes. Seeing them together in what we call our ‘family photo’ is a testament to the creativity and diversity that defines the game.

Future Plans Unveiled

Ravenswatch has a host of future updates lined up, and you can stay informed about our plans via Twitter and Discord. In a delightful reveal, our inaugural DLC, free for everyone, will introduce a unique hero duo designed to work in tandem. These two will operate best together in co-op, but we won’t spoil any more surprises!
