Fellow adventurers, it’s time to rally your champions for a daunting fight against the fearsome Nightmares that have taken root in your world! We’re diving into the saga of the fallen heroes of Ravenswatch—and there’s an exciting update too, with fresh heroes making their debut in the near future.
In Ravenswatch, these heroes are characters steeped in folklore and ancient stories; think Little Red Riding Hood to Sun Wukong. Each session places you in the shoes of these larger-than-life figures, diving deeper into their tales with every run. You’ll navigate expansive maps pulling inspiration from fairy-tale forests, the mystical Arabian Nights, and the legendary realms of King Arthur. On your journeys, you’ll assist the denizens of this enchanted land. The Three Little Pigs might need a hand with construction, while Sinbad the Sailor could use some rescuing from a sticky situation. By completing their quests, not only do you lend a helping hand, but you also secure rewards that will prove invaluable in future confrontations.
Whether you prefer adventuring alone or teaming up with up to three comrades, Ravenswatch is now available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One!
Meet the Ravenswatch
In this game, you’ll embody fallen heroes, each originating from timeless tales but reinvented with a sinister twist. Scarlet, our twisted take on Red Riding Hood, becomes a fearsome wolf under the moonlight, hunting the dark Nightmares. Or perhaps you’d prefer the Pied Piper, whose musical prowess sways legions of rats to his command. As Beowulf, brandish your mighty sword alongside your trusty baby dragon, or unleash Mélusine’s magical water spirits in the fight against the Nightmares of Reverie.
Starting your adventure, you can choose from Scarlet, The Pied Piper, Beowulf, and the Snow Queen. There are a total of nine heroes waiting to be unlocked. Discover more about your team as you forge through battle-filled expeditions!
Who’s Fit for the Ravenswatch?
When introducing new heroes, it’s vital to ensure they complement the existing cast. Heroes are integral to the gameplay experience, forming the heart of the game’s design.
Each character is designed to be unique, not just in gameplay but also in appearance and personality. Characters must satisfy four guiding pillars to join the Ravenswatch ranks:
-
Gameplay-oriented: The aim is always to offer a distinct gameplay experience. Whether a character specializes in melee combat, ranged attacks, or something unconventional, each should bring something fresh to the mix.
-
Worldwide notoriety: We draw inspiration from folklore and legends worldwide, focusing on characters with global recognition. Our heroes must fit seamlessly into the universe, so we tend away from those from too distant times or futuristic settings.
-
Exciting backstory: The fascinating stories behind our heroes serve as a wellspring of inspiration. We love to twist famous moments or items from these tales to reimagine our characters in thrilling ways.
- Family photo: There’s a unique satisfaction in seeing our diverse, eclectic set of heroes together. A varied lineup is essential!
