Ravenswatch | Console Launch Trailer

The time has finally come for PlayStation® and Xbox gamers to answer the call of the Ravenswatch and repel the Nightmare invasion. After a successful early access period and PC release at the end of September, with already over 700,000 active players, the co-op action-roguelike Ravenswatch is now available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The game will be released for Nintendo Switch™ on the 23rd of January 2025.

Time is running out, so go it alone or assemble a crossplay team up to 4 players and defend the world of Rêverie as best you can:

Players take on the role of one of 9 heroes, all inspired by old folk tales and legends. Little Red Riding Hood, the Snow Queen, Geppetto or Aladdin: each character has its own unique mechanics. In the purest roguelike tradition, each run unlocks skills that make heroes more powerful. Enemies, however, are formidable and leave no room for respite. Alone or playing alongside friends, the key to success lies in knowing and learning the enemy’s patterns!

An intangible threat hangs over the Guardians: the advance of time. Players have 3 days and 3 nights to strengthen their heroes. It’s up to them to optimize their actions within the allotted time, completing quests, finding Magical Objects and meeting other challenges before facing the level’s Master Nightmare.

In Ravenswatch, no two runs are alike. With over 200 talents, 50 magical items, 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.

Ravenswatch is now available on PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The Nintendo SwitchTM version will be available January 23rd 2025.
