Meet the Ravenswatch
Step into a world where timeless tales and legends twist into darker, more sinister versions in Ravenswatch. Players can embody fallen heroes like Scarlet, a chilling reimagining of Red Riding Hood, who turns into a ferocious wolf under the moon to hunt Nightmares, or the Pied Piper with his tactical mastery of controlling rat swarms. From Beowulf, who battles with his trusty sword and baby wyrm, to Mélusine with her fierce magical water wisps, each hero brings a new flavor to battling the enemies that menace Reverie!
At the beginning of your journey, choose from characters such as Scarlet, the Pied Piper, Beowulf, and Snow Queen, although a total of nine heroes await! Unlock them as you progress, each revealing their own secrets as battles intensify.
Who’s Fit for the Ravenswatch?
Selecting a new hero isn’t just about choosing a fancy costume; it’s about ensuring they fit seamlessly into the existing ensemble. Heroes are the heartbeat of the game, the core of its gameplay experience.
Our strategy encompasses making sure each character’s playstyle, look, and personality stands out. Four key principles guide us here:
-
Gameplay-Oriented: Every hero should offer a unique gameplay experience. Whether melee, ranged, or something entirely distinct, no two characters should feel the same. New additions must bring a wave of freshness and novelty.
-
Worldwide Notoriety: Our heroes hail from stories celebrated across the globe. Players connect more easily with renowned figures rather than obscure ones. We prefer tales that avoid technology extremes, keeping them credibly within the same universe.
-
Exciting Backstory: The origins of these characters are steeped in lore, providing endless wells of inspiration. Starting points like renowned story moments or iconic items make reimagining these tales exhilarating.
- Family Photo: Picturing the roster together lets us appreciate the diversity and vibrancy of our lineup, ensuring a varied collection of heroes.
Much More to Come
There’s so much more in store for Ravenswatch fans! Stay in the loop by following us on Twitter and joining our Discord community to hear about our future plans.

So, rally your friends and dive into the exhilarating world of Ravenswatch today!
