Update Notice: Translation Delay for Fall of Avalon Update

Greetings, Ravens!

We've just released our latest Fall of Avalon update, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed producing it.

We're writing to inform you about a minor delay in the translation process for this update.
Currently, Fall of Avalon is available in English and French only.

We understand the importance of providing the best experience to all our players worldwide. That's why we're dedicated to translating each update into multiple languages to ensure everyone can fully immerse themselves in Ravenswatch.

Unfortunately, we have a slight delay of one to two days for translations with this update.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will notify you as soon as the additional languages are available.

Thank you for your understanding.

New features



⚠ Disclaimer: We were not able to add all the localization in time for the update. A patch will add the missing localization as soon as possible. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

⚠ Double Disclaimer: In addition, some audio or visual feedback may need improvement, we’re looking forward to your feedback on what could be improved!

⚠ Triple Disclaimer: Difficulty progression has been reset following the addition of Chapter 3: Avalon. With a whole new Chapter to explore, we think it is important to relearn the difficulty curve of going through the full experience of a run.

Your progression on Heroes and other unlockables is not affected by this reset!

What's coming in the Fall of Avalon Update - Dev Diary #08



Greetings, Ravens!

New Dev Diary incoming! After being quiet for a few months, this one is going to be a good and long read! We were very busy with this update, which turned out to be a MASSIVE one.

Last week, we revealed that the Fall of Avalon would be released on April 22nd, that's in a week! Today we’re diving into all (or almost) the details of what's coming in this update.

Brave enough to continue? Let’s go!

Chapter 3: Avalon


The third Chapter of Ravenswatch is finally here! Or at least, it’s coming out very soon! 😇 On April 22nd, explore a new map with new enemies, new challenges, and a new Master Nightmare to defeat!

Avalon is the last stop on the heroes' journey to overcome the Nightmares (or is it?). Meet dangerous Witches, dishonored Knights, and corrupted Wolves in the fallen city of Avalon. We’re also keeping the last enemy type a secret so there are still some surprises on the release day, but do you want to take guesses? 😏

The Coven is waiting for you

WOLVES!!!

Along your journey, you may find a mysterious woman named Morgan, asking for your help in the abandoned city of Avalon. Her brother, the King, is threatening the last hope of light on the corrupted lands of Reverie. Defeat the Headless Horseman (Dullahan) in this new themed quest available in the third Chapter of Ravenswatch.

Help Morgan to defeat her brother

Slay the Dullahan

Finally, are you up to the challenge of a new Master Nightmare? We couldn’t resist a little tease in our Reveal Date trailer, but sorry that’s all you’ll get today! Maybe tune in tomorrow during our Devstream for a first official look at this new boss.

Ravenswatch's Early Access is not done yet, even with the Fall of Avalon update! We're getting closer to the end but we have still a lot of work ahead of us for version 1.0. If you’ve missed it, watch our latest trailer showcased at the Triple-i Initiative event last week for a good look at the Fall of Avalon update:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/2071280/announcements/detail/4206999092512712267

Custom Modes and Challenges



Custom runs and Challenges are making their big debuts in the Fall of Avalon update! In addition to a whole new Chapter to explore, we thought: why not even more replayability with a way to customize runs?

With modifiers, players will be able to tailor their Ravenswatch experience the way they want it to be. No more timer? Done. Play only during Nighttime? Done. All enemies are Corrupted? Done. No Mini-Map? Done. We could go on… But we’ll let you discover all that on April 22nd! You’ll be able to lower or increase the challenge with the Custom Modes.

With those modifiers, we created pre-made Challenges that you can select both in solo or in co-op. Here’s an example of a Challenge we curated for you 😈 :

Terra Incognita


  • Explorer: No countdown before Master Nightmare awakening
  • One Chapter: Play a single random Chapter
  • Angry Birds: Heroes start with no raven feather, and none can be recovered
  • Shadowy Fog: The map is not displayed and cannot be used
  • Lack of Imagination: 1 offers less for each choice of Talent or reward



Want to see this live? Join us tomorrow on Twitch for an exclusive showcase of the custom modes and challenges!

Rerolls?! New Magical Objects?! Reworked rewards system?!


If you’ve been around since the launch of Ravenswatch in Early Access (or even before with the Closed Alpha?), you’ve probably noticed we haven’t touched the Magical Objects and reward system too much!

Well, we were waiting for a better vision of what a complete run (3 Chapters) would be and we’ve now made significant changes. Here’s just a short list of what’s been modified or added:
  • Rerolls! You’ll get to use reroll to control the randomness of Talents, Magical Objects, and Rewards at Grimoires of Monsters
  • The Sandman will have some new offers in his store…
  • …As well as the Grimoires of Monsters.
  • New Magical Objects! (and some changed…)
  • Magical Objects will now have a ‘super-effect’, triggered by the number of identical objects you have in your inventory.
  • Check our patch note on April 22nd for a detailed description of all the changes.

Upgrade your Ultimates and new Talents



The more you progressed into a run, the less your Ultimate ability could compare to your regular abilities that were upgraded with Talents. Now reaching Level 10 will let you upgrade your Ultimates to add even more power to your builds!

Alongside the Ultimates, we’ve also added 1 talent per hero so you can bring, once again, more variety into your builds! In total, that’s 24 new Talents available!


A good example with Volcanic Rage for Beowulf's second Ultimate!

We’re here with another patch following the release of the Dark Tales Update last week! This one fixes multiple reported bugs and issues by the community, as well as adds a temporary solution for the AFK people blocking players in lobbies. Please read the patch note below for the details.

We are still investigating the other lobby issues (stuck at Starting / Can’t ready). If you are affected by those issues, check this master thread to see how you can help us track them.

    Notes: A second iteration of the matchmaking is planned with proper Kick, Ban, Vocal chat, and more features. In the meantime, we have added this automatic kick for AFK players that puts a 30-second countdown in lobbies when players press “Ready”. After 30 seconds, all players who did not press “Ready” will be kicked out of the party. They may start another search afterward. The countdown timer is reset if all players in a lobby press “Unready”.

Fixed bugs

    + Fixed ‘Ice Cores’ acquisition, one is now properly generated for each enemy hit by
    + Fixed ‘Pirouette’ interaction with Defense cooldown (it is now properly reduced according to the time it has been triggered at)
  • 🐦 Aladdin: ‘Sand Vortex’ vacuum effect does not trigger hit FXs on neutral props anymore

  • Unlocked Difficulty pop-up: Fixed the animation of the New Difficulty unlocked pop-up
  • 🐦 Subtitles: Fixed Sun Wukong’s name not appearing in subtitles for English and Russian
  • 🐦 Localisation: Fixed some parameter order inversions in certain languages

Currently investigated issues


  • Stuck in Lobby / Can’t Ready

Another patch should come out next week resolving these issues.

If you are encountering the ‘Stuck in Lobby / Can’t Ready’, please reach out to us with additional information to help us track this bug. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to:
