Ravenswatch Patch Note (Lobbies and Crossplay) - Version 1.1.04

Greetings, Ravens!

Another day, another patch! We're pushing a small patch on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox to restabilize crossplay on those platforms and fix recently reported lobby issues.

Don't forget to tune in tomorrow at NACON Connect for the reveal of the two new Heroes joining the Ravenswatch!



Patch Note 1.1.04



Fixed Issues


  • Lobbies: Fixed an issue where lobbies could be stuck
  • Unloading Crash: Fixed a crash that could occur at the end of a Chapter during unloadings on consoles
  • Crossplay: Crossplay has been reactivated between Xbox players and and Steam/PlayStation players
⚠ Disclaimer: The same patch will be released on Nintendo Switch in a few days to account for longer submission delays. As a result, the versions are currently desynchronized on this platform, which prevents using crossplay on the Nintendo Switch. We'll let you know when the patch is approved.

Nightmares Unleashed Stats




It’s been almost a month since the launch of the Nightmares Unleashed update on all platforms, and we’ve got stats to look at! You know us. We love looking at the data to share cool infographics, but it’s most importantly helpful for balancing purposes.

And let’s say we noticed Abu Al Jaan was a bit of a troublemaker

You can expect some balancing changes to Keys, Refugees, Enemies, and more in future updates. Some fixes and stability improvements have already been pushed in a patch earlier this week, take a look:

Ravenswatch Patch Note (Unloading Crash) - Version 1.1.03

Greetings, Ravens!

We're pushing a new patch to fix a reported crash that occurred at the end of a Chapter (during unloadings). Thank you for your reports and your help tracking this issue.

Patch Note 1.1.03


🐦= Community reports

Fixed Issue


  • 🐦 Unloading Crash: Fixed a crash that could occur at the end of a Chapter during unloadings
Note: This fix will be deployed later on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch due to additional submission delays.

Other Known Issue



A Peer has left the Party (Crossplay)

This issue may appear in a lobby with more than three players, one of whom is playing on Xbox Series or Xbox One.

It can also happen if two consecutive runs are launched from the same lobby (on any platform).

This is caused by a miscommunication between platforms in crossplay. A fix has been found for this issue, but its patch must go through submission processes on all platforms before being released.

In the meantime, we have temporarily disabled crossplay for Xbox Series and Xbox One. This will allow players on PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch to play in crossplay with other platforms (matchmaking and invites). Xbox players can still play in multiplayer with each other but won't be able to connect with other platforms (which resulted in any case in the impossibility of launching a multiplayer game).

If you encounter this issue on PC, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch, you can quit the defective lobby and start a new one.

A new patch on all platforms will be released to reactivate crossplay for Xbox Series and Xbox One and fix this issue. We'll let you know when it's out.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this caused while roaming through Reverie.

Patch Notes (1.1)


🐦= Inspired by community reports and suggestions

  • New Activities and Map Events:
    • Blood Rituals:
      • Blood Rituals are triggered fights against 2 waves of enemies
      • Falling at Death’s Door during the activity will fail the challenge. It is possible to start it again
      • Succeeding the challenge will grant you 2 Keys

    • Sacrificial Idols:
      • Sacrifice part of your Health points (HP) to gain flat Damage (DMG)
      • Multiple Sacrificial Idols can spawn per Chapter
    • Astral Shrines
      • Astral Shrines offer three choices:
        • Vision of Fate (gain Stars of Fate / Rerolls)
        • Vision of Renewal (relearn all of your Talents except starting one with chances of higher quality)
        • Vision of Enlightment (upgrade X randomly chosen Talent(s))
      • Only one Astral Shrine can spawn per Chapter. No Astral Shrines can also spawn.
    • Locked Chests
      • A new type of chest can now appear during your runs: locked chests!
      • Locked chests are open with a Key and grant twice an item.
      • Two Stars of Fate are needed to reroll the Locked Chests
      • Only one Locked Chest can spawn per Chapter. No Locked Chests can also spawn.
  • The Refugees
    • The Refugees are a small group of people asking for your help in Reverie
    • Once you’ve engaged in a conversation with them, you must choose one of the proposed choices
    • They are located in a protected camp, but can still die from enemies

General improvements and balancing


  • 🐦 Keys
    • Vision Towers can now reveal keys on the mini-map
    • Keys reveal themselves on the mini-map if players walk close by
    • Keys are now a shared resource between players (similar to feathers)
    • There are always enough keys on the map for the number of locks available
  • 🐦 Nightmare Tumors
    • Nightmare Tumors have been reduced to 1 per map
    • Tumors now reduce 30% of the Boss health (from 20%)
    • Waves have been updated to add any type of enemy into them
  • Heroes
    • Beowulf:
      • Ultimate 2 now grants INTANGIBLE for the whole duration
      • Ultimate 2 base damage increased by 60%
      • Ultimate 2 now displays damage in description

      • 🐦 Power cooldown set to 8 second (from 10)
      • 🐦 Set Health draining when consuming blood without actual blood in store to 15% per second (from 20%)
  • Map generation

    • It creates a truly random generation with activities that are not necessarily present at every new run
  • Leprechaun Coin: now reads ‘Gain X Dream Shards for each Star of Fate spent’
    Design Note: We've adjusted the Leprechaun Coin effect to balance the item without fundamentally changing it. Free rerolls gained from the collection effect no longer also provide a Dream Shard gain, as this is now only triggered when a reroll is actually spent.
  • 🐦 Unlocking content: a message now displays that Modifiers won’t unlock Difficulties and Outfits
  • Sandman:
    • ‘Sand of Oblivion’ has been removed from the Sandman’s shop as it is now part of the ‘Astral Shrine’ activity.
    • 🐦 You cannot duplicate items depending on rarity if you don't have one of the same rarity anymore (avoid mistakes)
  • Cursed: Only one Ability can be cursed at a time (previously no restriction)

Fixed bugs


  • Baba Yaga:
    • 🐦 Fixed a crash that occurred upon the Power ability becoming cursed by Baba Yaga (or the Broom Witch enemy)

    • 🐦 Fixed an issue where the Skulls from Baba Yaga could fall under the platform and would block her in phase one of the fight
    • Fixed a camera issue during the Ending cinematic if players used Spectator Mode
  • Heroes:
    • Snow Queen: fixed an issue with ‘Ice Clone’ explosion not applying Chilled
    • 🐦 Sun Wukong: fixed an issue with ‘Transfiguration’ duplicating Heroe’s portraits in the HUD
    • 🐦 Sun Wukong: fixed an issue on ‘Transfiguration’ not applying the victory stamp on Talents if Baba Yaga is defeated while transfigured
    • Sun Wukong: fixed an issue on ‘Thundercloud’s lightening effect ignoring enemies' Resistance (Shield on enemies’ health bars)
  • Magical Objects:
    • 🐦 Golden Egg: fixed an issue where the expected damage wasn’t displayed
    • Tamatebako: fixed an issue where the ‘Reroll’ button was difficult to interact with
    • Thunderstone: fixed an issue where Thunderstone’s super effect was ignoring enemies’ Resistance (similar to Sun Wukong’s ‘Thundercloud’ talent)
    • Consumables: Fixed some inconsistencies between font coloring in some consumables’ descriptions
  • General:
    • 🐦 Mini-boss barriers: fixed an issue where Mini-bosses barriers were not coming down after clearing the zone
    • 🐦 Achievement: fixed an issue where the “Giant Slayer” Achievement didn’t unlock
    • Map: fixed a visual issue where text displayed on the Map could blink
