- New Ravenswatch roadmap makes plans into 2027 despite publisher's financial struggles - 4 March 2026
More Ravenswatch DLC and new free updates are in the works, and I couldn't be happier. The Passtech Games roguelike ARPG has become one of my favorite co-op games over the past couple of years. It blends the isometric action of Diablo with an open-world race against the clock that feels a lot like Elden Ring Nightreign, and a cast of familiar faces from fantasy and fairytales. With publisher Nacon's recent filing for insolvency, I was worried what the future of Ravenswatch might look like, but the latest news is good. Read the rest of the story...

- Dark fantasy roguelike Ravenswatch is my Elden Ring Nightreign, and its magical new character is exactly what I wanted - 19 January 2026
If you're a fan of top-down ARPGs with Diablo-style combat, or you enjoy the way Elden Ring Nightreign pushes you to power-level in a race against time before the big bad shows up, you owe it to yourself to try Ravenswatch . The dark fantasy roguelike is a slick blend of the two styles, and it's continued to evolve in the year and change since it hit 1.0. One of its strongest aspects is its roster of iconic fairytale favorites, and developer Passtech Games just added a serious powerhouse with the first DLC character, Merlin, who arrives today alongside a major overhaul to the game's magical objects and a bunch of balance changes.
