    BANISH THE NIGHTMARES ANYWHERE — RAVENSWATCH SOARS ONTO NINTENDO SWITCH 2

    Reverie Goes Portable — Faster, Sharper, Smoother

    Passtech Games and publisher Nacon have confirmed that Ravenswatch, the acclaimed co-op roguelike action-adventure, is spreading its wings on Nintendo Switch 2 this December. Already available across PC, original Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, the Nightmares of Reverie are about to become even harder to escape — or easier to hunt down.

    Launch dates:

    • December 10, 2026 — Worldwide (including UK/EU)
    • December 18, 2026 — North America

    What’s New — Full HD, 60 FPS, Free Upgrade

    The Switch 2 Edition isn’t just a port — it’s a significant leap forward:

    Upgrade
    Full HD Resolution — Crisper environments and shareable UI across every map
    Improved Textures — The twisted forests and cursed villages of Reverie look richer than ever
    Stable 60 FPS — Fluid combat even when the screen fills with Nightmares and magical effects
    Free Upgrade — If you already own the original Switch version, the Switch 2 enhancement comes at no extra cost

    Physical Edition — Loaded With Content

    Collectors can pick up a physical release packed with everything Ravenswatch has grown into:

    • Game cartridge
    • All content updates released since launch
    • Nine DLC packs, including three bonus heroes: Romeo, Juliet, and Merlin

    That means 13 heroes total, over 250 talents, 50+ magical items, and endless build combinations across four difficulty levels — playable solo or with up to four players online with full cross-play support.

    What Is Ravenswatch? — Fairy Tales Reimagined, Corrupted, and Reborn

    Ravenswatch drops you into Reverie, a dark fairy-tale realm consumed by the Nightmares — a creeping corruption twisting beloved stories into something dangerous. You play as fallen legends: the Pied Piper, Snow White, the Three Little Pigs, Aladdin, and more — each reborn as warriors with unique movesets, strengths, and playstyles.

    “Every run is a fight to push back the darkness. Every hero changes how you play.”

    • Play solo or with up to 4 friends online — drop-in, drop-out co-op
    • Procedurally generated maps — no two journeys through Reverie feel the same
    • Deep build diversity — mix talents and items to create devastating synergies
    • Permadeath with progression — fall, return stronger, unlock permanent upgrades
    • Cross-play across all platforms — team up regardless of what your friends play on
