Greetings, everyone!
It's time to reveal a little more about Ravenswatch's upcoming free update, “Songs of Thieves”!
New enemies, new rooms to explore, brand-new gameplay mechanics... In this post, we’ll explain it all! (Or almost everything...) Spoiler alert: read at your own risk if you want to keep the surprise.
Join us on May 7 for Nacon Connect, where we’ll reveal exclusive gameplay footage from the "Songs of Thieves" update, along with its release date.
In this video, environment artists Arthur and Angelica from Passtech Games reveal all the secrets behind the creation of the Thieves’ Stashes! But what are Thieves' Shashes? Across Dark Hills, Storm Island, and Avalon, Thieves have set up camp in Reverie and are hiding their precious loot there. You’ll discover 4 unique types of rooms deep within their hideouts, each with its own challenges or rewards.
Combat rooms are filled with traps, a new mechanic borrowed from our previous game: Curse of the Dead Gods! Watch out for explosive poison barrels, cannonballs, and flaming runes in these secret rooms.
Free Shards, literally! Fill your pockets in the Thieves' Treasure rooms. So this is what a dream come true looks like?
Cursed rooms will challenge your skill when being amputated from one of your abilities during the whole fight. Hopefully, it won’t curse your favorite one…?
Make the Magic Mirror happy by asking it to duplicate your Magical Objects! This new feature, which the community has been eagerly awaiting, is sure to delight item collectors…
Featuring three different enemies, this new faction will make its debut in the world of Reverie in the upcoming Ravenswatch update! Make way for Bandits, Marksmen, and Assassins. Each with their own specialty (long-range attacks, quick strikes, etc.), the Thieves are highly agile and possess exceptional reflexes. In addition to being fierce foes, Thieves will also pose a threat to your Dream Shards’ purses. Don’t get hit if you don’t want to end up with empty pockets. Nothing to worry about, right?
With the “Songs of Thieves” update, as you wander through Reverie or explore the Thieves' Stashes, you'll come across mysterious Harps along the way. Activating this magical instrument will release enchanted musical notes.
By composing melodies using musical notes, you'll unlock powerful effects that affect your entire run. With some examples, you'll understand better:
Long John Silver Melody
Reveals all Raven's landing marks on the map.
Tortoise Melody
Increases the move speed of all Heroes by 20%.
Merry Men Melody
Locks no longer need keys to be opened; they now grant 150 Dream Shards each.
It’s up to you to rearrange the 12 available melodies and incorporate them into your strategies!
Thieves aren't the only swindlers showing up in Reverie. Every now and then, you might run into the infamous Stingy Jack and his turnip head.
This sneaky character will be one step ahead, stripping the chests of their treasures.
It’s up to you to reclaim what’s yours before he escapes! While you’re at it, you can also pad your pockets with his own riches…
We’ve also included a number of quality-of-life improvements in this update, such as the highly requested Multiplayer Pause feature!
You’ll now be able to pause during co-op matches. Any player can pause the game in Multiplayer, and other party members can resume it after a short time, preventing getting stuck indefinitely in a run. While in pause, players can navigate to the Options, the Map, and their Inventory.
We'll share more information about the Multiplayer Pause and other QoL improvements in the patch notes.
