Greetings, Ravens! Today, we’re back with a new Community Spotlight! We’ve got a ton of stuff to discuss today, so let’s take a look at what the community has been up to recently. The topics of today's Community Spotlight: New episode of News from Reverie Hourglass of Dreams Update stats Speedrun Scene Community Creations What's next? News from Reverie (October 2025) Don’t want to read? Watch our latest episode of News from Reverie for the video format of the Community Spotlight! Hourglass of Dreams Update The Hourglass of Dreams update launched last month with a bunch of new content and challenges. And as usual, we like to share some statistics with you. Players attempted to steal the shards from the Leprechaun’s Cauldron over 80,000 times ! For the Hourglass of Dreams: some of you tried to trigger the Boss very early, only after 5 minutes into a run, or even less sometimes! And you met your doom with 77% of fails at the Dark Hills Master Nightmare ! In comparison, triggering the Boss just before the original timer ends (up until 3 minutes before) results in an 83% success rate! Now let’s talk about the new quests! Which of the three new mini-bosses was the most deadly of all? At the bottom of the podium, we have Mordred with over 25,000 Heroes killed , followed by Jack’s Ogre with over 90,000 death counts . And finally, at the top, Simorgh, the Giant Roc, with a massacre of 119,000 Heroes . Pretty deadly. Speedrun Scene The Hourglass of Dreams update brought new ways to play in Ravenswatch. With the ability to win rewards when triggering the Master Nightmare, this has created a whole new interest in speedruns of the game! We enjoyed watching your achievements, including SkippyTom ’s current record , set in Adventure with the Rain of Stars modifier, at 4 minutes and 12 seconds. We also have a new breaking record of 2 minutes and 54 seconds in the Two players category, congratulations to syrk and Kozzoko ! Head to https://www.speedrun.com/ravenswatch to upload your attempts! Community Creations B y @Panickerz By @ZeroLogic By @DairyPanda We also sat down with community member PositiveAce for an interview on the Hourglass of Dreams update and what’s next for Ravenswatch. You don’t want to miss it! What's next? It’s time for a Roadmap check! We’re coming to the end of the first year of post-launch support for Ravenswatch. Does that truly mean the end, though…? Let me reassure you, no! We still have a few cards up our sleeve. But let's end Year 1 on a high note with a new paid hero DLC planned for early next year . We’re hard at work on this new hero, and I can already tell you that they look very promising. Do you have any guesses? (There may already be a clue in the game 👀) Aaand that’s it! Thank you for reading this new Community Spotlight. Thanks again for your support on the launch of the Hourglass of Dreams update. We know it was a busy month, but you answered the call of Reverie! We’ll see you soon! - The Passtech Team 🍉 Passtech Games Discord Ravenswatch Twitter Passtech Games Twitter Ravenswatch Subreddit Passtech Games Twitch Passtech Games Website

We took the time to reflect on the feedback and decided to adjust their kit and talents slightly. The idea was to keep what made them fun to play without that "overpowering" effect. For Juliet, we first underestimated how easy it would be to perform Perfect Shots during combat situations, and thus, it resulted in a crazy outburst of power. The difficulty of balancing Criticals (with the ability of CRIT Chance becoming CRIT Damage) would make up for some wacky situations with that Hero. We believe that her power curve is now much more manageable from a balancing perspective, while still keeping Juliet extremely fierce and strong. The same goes for Romeo’s Love Shield talent. The Invincibility duration was too high and would lead to very strange situations. As you may remember, Romeo and Juliet were intended as multiplayer characters only, thus performing the SPECIAL required communication and synchronization. As we shifted vision with them being playable in solo as well, there were no more challenges behind the SPECIAL ability. Romeo saw multiple buffs in its kit as well, as it was sometimes perceived as too demanding compared to Juliet. We hope to encourage players to experiment more with his playstyle of quick attacks and fast retreat. We also upped many other talents, specifically those relying on the TRAIT of the characters. For the same reason that they can work solo now, those talents needed to be better adjusted; it’s all more powerful now!

Edit: Important News! The Hourglass of Dreams Major Update now launches on September 17 on all platforms, one day earlier than planned! Just 5 days to go! Greetings, everyone! The Hourglass of Dreams Update is around the corner and will launch on September 18 on all platforms . It’s time to reveal more about what the content is all about in this new major free update! Buckle up! We’re going in for a deep dive, but beware of spoilers if you want to discover it on your own! Take a look a this gameplay montage: Hourglass of Dreams The Sandman has decided to make a little room for the Hourglass of Dreams near his shop. This new mechanic activates at the beginning of a new Chapter if you triggered the Master Nightmare before the 18-minute countdown ends in the previous one. For the longest time, players have been asking for some type of reward for triggering the Master Nightmare early. Until now, only a score bonus in the end screen results would highlight this feat, but we always wanted to add something that had a real impact on the runs. Now, you’ll receive a certain amount of rewards depending on when you trigger the Boss (the earlier, the better the rewards and their amounts): Dream Shards Magical Objects XP The Hourglass of Dreams makes up for a new way of playing and new strategies as you progress through your runs. Should you trigger the Boss early and sacrifice points of interest on the map for guaranteed Shards/Items/XP in the next Chapter? Or miss the Hourglass of Dreams rewards because the map has more interesting activities to offer? Fighting a Master Nightmare early has its costs, you'll be weaker than usual in theory. But the well-earned rewards from the Hourglass of Dreams should allow you to start exploring the next Chapter in good shape. Overtime Aah, the timer. If only we had a coin for every time we were asked to remove it or add time to the runs… We could make Ravenswatch 2 (it’s a joke, don’t panic) . The idea of adding time to the timer has always been on our minds , but it couldn't be done without a trade-off . The game is built around this timer, and although a modifier allows you to remove it entirely, this takes away the essence of the game: the tension, the pressure of making choices, and the storytelling. So here's the new Overtime mechanic ! At the end of the initial 18-minute timer, you will automatically enter the “overtime” period, which will allow you to gain up to 3 more minutes . Will you use this extra time to finish your current activity, or to spend your last dream shards at the Sandman? Will you take advantage of it to finish as many activities as possible on the map? Or will you avoid Overtime at all costs? Because while you’re buffing up for the big fight, the Master Nightmare will also take advantage of the Overtime to gain attack power and HP ! This gain will be proportional to the time spent in Overtime (up to a certain limit) Once you enter Overtime, you can teleport immediately to the Boss to avoid wasting another second. Spending no to little time in the Overtime will not affect the Master Nightmare. New Quests Are you sick of Cynric already? (How could you!) . Or you’ve been eaten by the Cyclops one too many times? This update is made for you! The Hourglass of Dreams update brings 3 new optional Quests to Reverie . They will randomly replace the Pigs quests in Dark Hills, Sinbad and the Cyclops in Storm Island, and the Dullahan and Orchad’s tree in Avalon. Jack and the Beanstalk (Dark Hills) In this new quest, you’ll meet with Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk) , who requisitioned you to find his Magic Bean lost in Hogsden. He needs to reach a safe place in the clouds that he once visited, away from the Nightmares threatening his life. Tough break! As he climbs the Magic Bean, he will face the Ogre , who lives in the sky and menaces to make him fall to the ground! It's up to you to stop him! Sinbad and the Roc (Storm Island) Sinbad is back, but this time in a new predicament . You’ll need to escort him through a cave infested by enemies, while he collects diamonds (Sinbad cannot resist a shiny stone) . When you finally reach the exit, you’ll face Simorgh, a giant Roc that made the mountain’s peak its nest. You see a threatening enemy to defeat, but Sinbad sees a way to escape the island with his loot. Knock down and tame Simorgh to help Sinbad flee. Mordred and the Crown (Avalon) Morgan is not done in her quest to save Avalon and restore its former glory. This time, her illegitimate son Mordred has taken possession of King Arthur’s crown and threatens to destroy it. Morgan can only hold on for so long, so you’ll have to navigate the tombs of the fallen city to reach and get rid of Mordred. Leprechaun’s Cauldon A new activity makes its way into Reverie. Rid the Leprechaun’s Cauldron of the Nightmares spawning around it. But be quick! The cauldron will start to empty itself of its Dream Shards as soon as you activate it. Timeless Skin Pack It’s time for Scarlet, her Wolf form, Aladdin, Melusine, and Geppetto to get their special premium Outfits enhanced with 3D model alterations and VFX! Geppetto – A pyrotechnician costume for Geppetto, with a new gleaming hot hammer and a backpack filled with fireworks and turning gears. In addition to his cap and full beard, he put on his best jacket. Scarlet and her Wolf form – Their skull-shaped masks are reminiscent of obscure forest cults. Scarlet’s human form wields a dagger made of bone. Filling their combo points triggers a magical red smoke coming out of their shoulder pads. Aladdin – Aladdin removes his hood to reveal a stylish new look! The sand guardian will shine brightly as his Enchantment bar fills up. Melusine – With her serpent tail, Melusine reveals a new form of mermaid queen, always ready for battle. A trail of water follows her like a cape. Splash! Get the Timeless Skin Pack on September 18 – available on all platforms for $3,99 . And more! Steam achievements, Romeo & Juliet balancing, more decor variety in the enemy camps… The new update is filled with even more content to discover on September 18.
