Developer Passtech Games has released a new major update for its hack-and-slash roguelite title Ravenswatch. The update, titled the Dark Tales Update, was released alongside a new trailer, which you can check out below.
The update fills in the gaps of Ravenswatch story by providing new in-depth backstories for each of its playable heroes. The update now also allows players to expand on their heroes’ fighting styles thanks to the addition of 30 new talents that can be unlocked during the course of play.
New backstories for Ravenswatch‘s heroes will be available to check out in a new Main Menu option titled Entitled Memoirs. Backstories in this new section can be unlocked by the players just simply playing through the game with each of its 8 playable heroes.
The other major feature of the new update is allowing players to use the new Altar of Heroes location in the game’s levels to resurrect their companions, even if they might have run out of the resurrection feathers, which typically limit how many times players can die throughout the course of a run.
The studio has also announced that Ravenswatch has been quite successful, with over 400,000 unique players having bought the game and playing it.
Ravenswatch is currently available as an early access title on PC. The game is slated to see its 1.0 release in 2024, and will come to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch along with its PC release.
