Ravenswatch announces tempestuous terrors in the Shores of Storm Island update

Wishlist Ravenswatch on Steam now

The new trailer shows us some of what to expect from the next big update - shipwrecks, the salty spray of the ocean, creepy cultish visuals, and some silhouetted horror happily munching on... actually, that's probably best not dwelt on for the time being.

In the new nautical realm, players will be able to work solo or with friends to fight their way through the latest chapter in top-down action gameplay, choosing different characters to play as and acquiring special buffs and upgrades as they get further through the gauntlet of fantasy peril ahead of them. Plus there's more to come in the months to follow - so don't get complacent even if you do manage to beat back the creepy coastal creatures in the upcoming free update.
