The First Major Ravenswatch Update is Set for the End of January

The 2024 rogue-lite game Ravenswatch, which blends familiar fairy tale figures with ARPG combat, is about to receive a major update on January 30th. This first major update is called Nightmares Unleashed and is set to bring a wealth of new events, enemies, and improvements for players to enjoy.

The update promises players some major changes and upgrades, starting with new boss patterns to all three Master Nightmare fights. The developer, Passtech Games, wanted to create a “surprise effect” by ensuring players face a different combinations with each boss encounter.

Keys have also been reworked, now revealed on the map when you get nearby or activate any Vision Towers. Instead of merely finding them, you’ll face a new event called Blood Rituals, with a sew of new enemies for players to fight. As a reward, players can receive multiple keys based on their performance.

Once you collected your keys, you can now face two new mini-bosses. In Storm Island, you’ll encounter Abu Al Jaan, ancestor of all Jinns. In the Sewers of Avalon, you can face Melion, the transformed former servant knight of King Arthur. These new baddies will be guarding new locked chests, which you can spend a key on to get a choice of a ‘duplicate item’, offering players a new way to boost their power.

Players will also find a new group of NPCs that can now appear on your adventures. These Refugees are a gang of misfortunate souls who can offer players both positive and negative results, so careful who you decide to partner with.

Passtech Games confirms that the Ravenswatch Nightmares Unleashed update will launch on Thursday, January 30.
