Master his outstanding abilities to fight the Nightmares and build a combination of flamboyant spells in Ravenswatch's next Hero DLC.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Get ready for January![/h3][p][/p][p]After Romeo & Juliet, Merlin is the second Hero DLC available for Ravenswatch. Merlin's Hero DLC will be available in January 2026 (date to be revealed) for $7,99 accross all platforms.[/p][p][/p][p]You can already wishlist Merlin's DLC to get notified when it releases:[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p]Seven skins are also available with Merlin, four are unlockable in-game, and three are accessible instantly: [/p][p][/p][p]A free update will also be available for all players, which includes new Magical Objects and more!

[p]Greetings, Ravens![/p][p][/p][p]We’ve got some great news today! We’re revealing more about our next free update and Hero DLC. We also have a special event for you next week, don't miss it![/p][p][/p][h2]Raven Eye: Magical Objects[/h2][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]
Magical Objects are a core part of Ravenswatch and how you play each run. Some Magical Objects are LOVED by players, making them instant picks. Others are shunned for their lack of synergies or underpowered effects.
[/p][p]A few months ago, we ran a Community Survey to gather your thoughts and impressions on the current state of Magical Objects. We’ve received over 2,000 responses that helped us shape the upcoming free update, which will be released early next year (at the same time as our paid Hero DLC).[/p][p][/p][p]In this episode of Raven Eye, Slymane (Game Designer on Ravenswatch) goes through the overhaul of Magical Objects and what you can expect new in the near future.
[/p][p][/p][p]3...2...1... The new Mad Hat could be fatal![/p][p] [/p][p]In addition to those mentioned in the video, you can expect new effects or tweaks on Dreamcatcher, Unicorn Horn, Fairy Dust, and more! The full list will be detailed in the update's patch notes when it's available.[/p][p][/p][p]The same work will be done for Talents in future updates.[/p][p][/p][h2]Next Hero DLC & Devstream[/h2][p][/p][p]We’re very close to revealing who’s going to be the next Hero to join the Ravenswatch![/p][p][/p][p]The team had a lot of fun reading your predictions, and some were pretty spot on! Congratulations to those who guessed it early! 👀[/p][p][/p][p]If you’re still trying to figure it out, here’s another hint that will probably lead you on the right track:[/p][p]
[/p][p]You won’t have to wait long before we announce it publicly. Tune in next week for the official reveal of the next Hero to join the Ravenswatch![/p][p][/p][p]Slymane (Game Designer) and Margaux (Communication Director) will showcase live some of the Magical Objects reworks (and maybe show a few new ones 😏), answer your burning questions (did we nerf Leprechaun's coin?!), and share our special Hero announcement with you.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]📅 December 18

[p]Greetings, Ravens!
[/p][p]It's time for a new Community Spotlight! It was a busy month, and we have a lot of things to talk about today! Let's jump in.[/p][p][/p][p]Today's Community Spotlight is about:[/p]

• [p]New episode of News from Reverie[/p]
• [p]Steam Awards[/p]
• [p]Community BuildMaker[/p]
• [p]...Magical Objects?[/p][p][/p]

[h2] News from Reverie (November 2025)[/h2][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]A new episode of News from Reverie is available! In this video, Margaux (Communications Director) goes through all the topics of the Community Spotlight and shares more about what's next for Ravenswatch.[/p][p]Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel do you don't miss this type of content or our other videos![/p][p][/p][h2]Steam Awards[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In case you missed it, the Steam Awards are back! What a year for Ravenswatch! We're beyond proud of the team and the community that has formed around our game.[/p][p][/p][p]We feel that Ravenswatch fits well in the Labor of Love category! It celebrates games that are still getting new content from their developers, beyond their official release, something we've been doing since Ravenswatch launch in version 1.0 a year ago.[/p][p][/p][p]If you think that we deserve this award, we would really appreciate your vote. In any case, it’s a great way to support your favorite games (and, for us, it would be a fantastic way to end the year).[/p][p][/p][h3]ːsteamthisː Vote here! We’re counting on you! ːsteamthisː[/h3][p][/p][h2]Community BuildMaker[/h2][p][/p][p]You asked for it, the Community BuildMaker is here! [/p][p]Last year, we released an episode of "Favorite Build", a video format where a Dev showcases their preferred Build with a specific Hero. You loved the tool used in the video so much that we decided to release it to the community![/p][p][/p][p]The BuildMaker is a free web tool that is perfect for: [/p]

• [p]Theorycrafting your Builds before testing them out in-game[/p]
• [p]Sharing your best or most fun Builds with the community[/p]
• [p]Looking for fresh ideas for synergies and strategies
  [/p]

[p][/p][p]It took some time, because we wanted to make it perfect! The BuildMaker uses the most recent values and game balancing, and will always be up to date![/p][p]You can also share your Builds with the community, upvote the ones you like, and register your favorites. [/p][p][/p][h3]Start using the BuildMaker here: https://buildmaker.ravenswatch.com/[/h3][p][/p][p]To demonstrate the tool, we asked Sylvain Passot (Studio Director) to show us his Dashing Frost Queen in a new episode of Favorite Build! Watch it here: [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]... Magical Objects?[/h2][p][/p][p]We've heard your plea! You wanted us to focus on Magical Objects, and that’s exactly what we're doing for our next update.[/p][p][/p][p]As you may already know, our next major event will be the release of a new Hero paid DLC early next year. We know you're hungry for more content, that's why we'll also be launching a free update focused on Magical Objects at the same time, available for all players.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Now, what does that mean exactly? Don't worry, we're coming with answers soon! In our next episode of Raven Eye, Slymane (Game Designer) will talk you through the overhaul of Magical Objects. The video is scheduled for a couple of weeks from now! Subscribe to this YouTube channel so you don't miss it.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]Thanks for reading this Community Spotlight. We cannot wait to see your Builds pop up in the BuildMaker! The team is excited to share more about our 2026 plans and reveal what we've been cooking in Reverie.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ll see you soon![/p][p][/p][p] - The Passtech Team 🍉[/p][p]

[/p][p]A few words from Margaux Saly, Passtech Games Communication Director:[/p]

[p]"With 3 free updates and 2 free Heroes already out, we feel extremely grateful of our ever-growing community. We broke records of frequentation on the game this year and we couldn't have hope for a better support from our Ravenswatch players.

Soon, a whole new Hero will join the Ravenswatch and will complete our Year 1 plans. We're already hard at work on Year 2, and after a tremendous first year of post-launch support, the teams at Passtech Games and NACON are impatient to reveal what's next for Ravenswatch!

On behalf of the entire team: Thank you!"[/p]

[p]Greetings, Ravens!
[/p][p]Today, we’re back with a new Community Spotlight! We’ve got a ton of stuff to discuss today, so let’s take a look at what the community has been up to recently.[/p][p][/p][p] The topics of today's Community Spotlight:[/p]

• [p]New episode of News from Reverie[/p]
• [p]Hourglass of Dreams Update stats[/p]
• [p]Speedrun Scene[/p]
• [p]Community Creations[/p]
• [p]What's next?[/p][p][/p]

[h2] News from Reverie (October 2025)[/h2][p][/p][p]Don’t want to read? Watch our latest episode of News from Reverie for the video format of the Community Spotlight!
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]Hourglass of Dreams Update[/h2][p]
The Hourglass of Dreams update launched last month with a bunch of new content and challenges. And as usual, we like to share some statistics with you.[/p][p]
Players attempted to steal the shards from the Leprechaun’s Cauldron over 80,000 times!
[/p][p][/p][p]For the Hourglass of Dreams: some of you tried to trigger the Boss very early, only after 5 minutes into a run, or even less sometimes! And you met your doom with 77% of fails at the Dark Hills Master Nightmare! In comparison, triggering the Boss just before the original timer ends (up until 3 minutes before) results in an 83% success rate! [/p][p]
Now let’s talk about the new quests! Which of the three new mini-bosses was the most deadly of all? At the bottom of the podium, we have Mordred with over 25,000 Heroes killed, followed by Jack’s Ogre with over 90,000 death counts. And finally, at the top, Simorgh, the Giant Roc, with a massacre of 119,000 Heroes. Pretty deadly.[/p][p][/p][h2]Speedrun Scene[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Hourglass of Dreams update brought new ways to play in Ravenswatch. With the ability to win rewards when triggering the Master Nightmare, this has created a whole new interest in speedruns of the game!
[/p][p]We enjoyed watching your achievements, including SkippyTom’s current record, set in Adventure with the Rain of Stars modifier, at 4 minutes and 12 seconds.
[/p][p]We also have a new breaking record of 2 minutes and 54 seconds in the Two players category, congratulations to syrk and Kozzoko![/p][p][/p][p]Head to www.speedrun.com/ravenswatch to upload your attempts![/p][p][/p][h2]Community Creations[/h2][p][/p][p]By @Panickerz[/p][p][/p][p]By @ZeroLogic[/p][p][/p][p]By @DairyPanda[/p][p][/p][p]We also sat down with community member PositiveAce for an interview on the Hourglass of Dreams update and what’s next for Ravenswatch. You don’t want to miss it![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]What's next?[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]It’s time for a Roadmap check! We’re coming to the end of the first year of post-launch support for Ravenswatch. Does that truly mean the end, though…? Let me reassure you, no![/p][p][/p][p]We still have a few cards up our sleeve.[/p][p][/p][p]But let's end Year 1 on a high note with a new paid hero DLC planned for early next year. We’re hard at work on this new hero, and I can already tell you that they look very promising. [/p][p][/p][p]Do you have any guesses? (There may already be a clue in the game 👀) [/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]Aaand that’s it! Thank you for reading this new Community Spotlight. Thanks again for your support on the launch of the Hourglass of Dreams update. We know it was a busy month, but you answered the call of Reverie!
