Ravenswatch launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on December 18 in North America and December 10 elsewhere. The new version of Passtech Games’ co-op action roguelike promises better performance and visuals, and existing Nintendo Switch owners can upgrade at no extra cost.
The announcement also details a physical edition that includes previously released updates and DLC, giving newcomers another way to pick up the game and its additional heroes.
Switch 2 Version Promises 60 FPS and Improved Textures
Compared with the original Switch release, Ravenswatch on Switch 2 features improved textures, a Full HD display, and a stable 60 FPS, according to the announcement.
These changes bring the top-down, real-time combat to Nintendo’s newer hardware with a focus on visual clarity and smoother performance. The announcement does not separate its resolution and frame-rate details into handheld and TV modes.
If you already own Ravenswatch on Nintendo Switch, you can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free. The release notice confirms the offer but does not outline the redemption process.
Physical Edition Includes Nine DLCs
The Switch 2 physical edition includes a game cartridge, all content updates released since launch, and nine DLCs.
Among those additions are three playable heroes:
- Romeo
- Juliet
- Merlin
The announcement specifies these extras for the physical package. It does not detail the contents or pricing of individual digital editions.
Four-Player Cross-Play Co-op Returns
Ravenswatch supports online cross-play co-op for up to four players, allowing you to face the Nightmares threatening Reverie with friends across supported platforms.
Its roster spans 13 heroes, with over 250 talents and 50 magical items providing options for different builds. Four difficulty levels and custom game modes offer further ways to adjust your runs.
Passtech Games, the studio behind Curse of the Dead Gods, builds the action around repeated attempts and changing combinations of abilities and equipment.
Ravenswatch arrives on Switch 2 December 18 in North America and December 10 elsewhere. It is already available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and the original Nintendo Switch.
