Discover the Ravenswatch Cast
Ravenswatch puts you in control of heroes taken from beloved stories, now reimagined with a dark and imaginative twist. Picture Scarlet, our cursed version of Red Riding Hood who embraces her inner wolf to take on the Nightmares by night. Or the Pied Piper, whose musical mastery commands swarms of rats in battle. Dive into the lore of these characters, from Beowulf with his formidable sword and loyal baby wyrm to Mélusine’s powerful water magic. Each hero offers a fresh combat style, ensuring no two playthroughs are alike!
When starting out, choose between Scarlet, The Pied Piper, Beowulf, or the Snow Queen, but don’t stop there—nine heroes await discovery throughout your adventures. Some of their secrets come to light only in the heat of battle!
