Ravenlok, the next game from Cococumber of Echo Generation fame, launches on May 4th for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC (via the Microsoft Store and Epic Games Store). Retailing for $24.99, it’s also playable on Game Pass at launch. Check out the latest trailer below, which highlights some characters and combat.
Ravenlok is about Kira, who moves with her family to the countryside and discovers a mirror to the Realm of Dunia. With a sword and shield, she becomes Ravenlok and fights to free the realm from the despotic queen. The Alice in Wonderland similarities are obvious, but the action RPG also takes cues from the works of Tolkien and Studio Ghibli.
As producer/director Vanessa Chia says, “Growing up in Malaysia, classics by J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Studio Ghibli allowed me to open a portal into another world, into a realm of imagination and possibilities. Through this fable about the fight for a creative life, we hope that the adventures of Ravenlok can bring a sense of escapism and joy to all.”
Along with hacking and slashing, Kira can use potions, magical bombs and spells to take out enemies. On Xbox Series X, the title supports 4K resolution and 60 FPS and looks pretty clean. Stay tuned for more details en route to release.
