More than two years after its 1.0 release, Ravenswatch continues to delight fans and newcomers alike with additional content. Kintaro is the fourth additional playable character (after Merlin, Romeo, and Juliet) to join the nine original heroes. Among them, Kintaro is the only one without any afflictions. Brave, endowed with Herculean strength, and possessing a heart of gold, Kintaro discovers the ravaged world of Reveree and doesn’t hesitate for a moment to put his power to work for a just cause: repelling the Nightmare invasion. Kintaro is available today as a DLC character on PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One!

Hailing from Japanese folklore, Kintaro is a powerful hero armed with a gigantic axe. He can fight while riding his bear, Kuma, or let his faithful companion wreak havoc alongside him on the battlefield. As such, he has two sets of abilities, offering greater complexity as well as flexibility depending on the situation. Riding Kuma, players can slice through Nightmares with his claws. On foot, they can swing Kintaro’s axe and unleash devastating combo attacks with his carnivorous sidekick.

In addition to the DLC, Passtech Games is rolling out a major update eagerly awaited by many players: a rework of Talents, the heroes’ special abilities. The studio has been very attentive to the community, observing gameplay patterns and taking player feedback into account to rework these Talents. Some have been rebalanced, others merged, and still others have simply been added or removed. As a result, all heroes now have new ways to play through their active and passive abilities, with the goal of revitalizing the gameplay experience.

Ravenswatch is a top-down roguelike action game that combines intense real-time combat with deep gameplay and high replay value. After the success of Curse of the Dead Gods, Passtech Games returns with a new formula and game experience.

No two runs are alike. With 13 heroes, over 250 talents and 50 magical items offering endless build combinations, 4 difficulty levels, custom game modes and online cross-play co-op up to 4 players, the game offers an addictive experience and high replay value.
