The whole teams at Passtech and Nacon are beyond excited to reveal what we’ve been cooking for the last few months. After almost a year and a half in Early Access, over [b]600,000 players[/b], [b]370 291 372 dead enemies[/b], and more than [b]7 million hours played[/b], we’re getting ready to share the epilog of Ravenswatch on [b]September 26[/b]! [url=https://discord.gg/passtechgames]Join our Discord[/url] server to get notified of our next events or chat about the game with our community. We’re publishing the patch note early because we know you’re eager to know what’s coming with version 1.0!
