Rain World News

Hey Slugcats,

[h2]Rain World: The Watcher is Out Now![/h2]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Journey beyond to something, somewhere only ever glimpsed. When the world beneath your feet cracks and crumbles, will you hold on to all you once knew? Or dive into the unknown?

[h3]Mods before The Watcher[/h3]
Most community mods from the workshop will be incompatible with The Watcher DLC at launch. I would strongly recommend you unsubscribe from the community mods and do a full reinstall of Rain World by deleting, moving, or renaming the Rain World folder typically located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World. Then verify the files through Steam.

You may also need to remove your Rain World saves. Your saves should be located in C:\Users\[[YOUR_USER]]\AppData\LocalLow\Videocult\Rain World. Change [[YOUR_USER]] to your username on your PC.

The files will be named "sav", "sav2", or "sav3" depending on which save slot it is used.

[h3]Additional Workshop Tags[/h3]
To help out with filtering through the mods and to give modders access to better communicate with their mods, I have added a “Compatible With” section where you can add which part of Rain World and DLCs your mod works with. The tags are “Base”, “Downpour”, and “Watcher”.

[h3]Where to Report Bugs?[/h3]
We are trying something different for bug reporting so please be patient with us! If you run into any bugs while playing The Watcher, then please report them here so we can better track the reports.

Hey Slugcats,

I have a few things to go over with the launch of the Watcher coming soon! Less than 30 days to launch!

Sanshee is also sponsoring Rain World Art Month with various prizes for giveaways! If you want a chance to win some Rain World merch be sure to to keep an eye out! I’ll give more information on the first giveaway next week!

[h2]The Watcher[/h2]
We are only a few weeks away from the launch of Rain World: The Watcher on PC! I want to share a message from James on The Watcher.

"Hello @RW News! This is James from Videocult bringing you good tidings. Right now we are hard at work finishing up development on The Watcher and literally cannot wait for you to explore this new world. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that we are bringing Rain World somewhere entirely new. On March 28th Rain World: The Watcher will release on PC. But that will not be the whole story. We have multiple updates planned, and the final arc of the Watcher will conclude with the console release, at a date TBD.We will be going on this new journey together, so stay tuned for more details as they develop!"

[h2]Anniversary Stream[/h2]
We will be continuing our celebration of the Rain World anniversary with a livestream on March 28th! We’ll be counting down the minutes to the launch of the Watcher on that stream! So I would recommend a watch if you want to countdown with us!

Rain World will get a new expansion called Rain World: The Watcher on March 28, 2025. The release will co me with a new slugcat to play as—the Watcher, AKA the Nightcat—and will be set in a wholly new-looking area of the Rain World with its own strange ecology that we get glimpses of in the released trailer...
