It looks like Ravenswatch fans are eating well, as developer Nacon has revealed a content roadmap outlining updates planned through 2027.

As detailed below, this latest wave of content kicks off with the Song of Thieves update this spring. It promises to introduce thieves as a new enemy faction, alongside new room types and a new NPC known as Stingy Jack. A paid cosmetic DLC will also be released around the same time.

The next portion of the roadmap isn’t as detailed, but it confirms that two new DLC heroes, new game modes, and a rework of hero talents are on the way. Encouragingly, the team at Nacon plans to deliver both paid and free updates, ensuring all players get something out of future content.

On the roadmap, developer Passtech said that both it and Nancon “are incredibly proud to have completed one full year of post-launch support for Ravenswatch.”

If you’ve yet to check out Ravenswatch, the game is currently on sale at 50% off on Steam (£10.49) until March 11th.

Mike reviewed the game back when it was exclusively available for PC. In his review, he said: “All told, Ravenswatch is a very good action-roguelite with a lot of subtle depth and nuance just waiting to be discovered.”

The Best Roguelike Games: great roguelites, deckbuilders, RPGs, bullet heavens, and more

Next, there are genre-specific lists that delve into the best roguelike games of all types. I’ve pulled out the best examples from each category, alongside the links to more in-depth articles!

The best turn-based roguelikes: Caves of Qud | There are some seriously incredible turn-based roguelikes out there. Of all the modern games, these are the closest to the original Rogue. 

Great bullet heavens and auto-shooters: Vampire Survivors | There could be only one choice for this category, given how all other games are called survivors-likes for a reason! 

Awesome first-person rogues: Gunfire Reborn | We almost went with Blue Prince for this spot, but most people checking out first-person rogues probably want to wield a gun, you know?!  

Cool roguelike deckbuilders: Balatro | Sorry, Slay the Spire fans, but this poker-solitaire deckbuilder has stolen Mike’s heart and won’t give it back.

Brilliant roguelite top-down and third-person shooters: Returnal | Bit of a broad one, but with our other favourite action-roguelites featured elsewhere, we were obliged to mention Returnal here. 

Exciting roguelike platformers: Spelunky | Now, don’t get us wrong, Dead Cells is an incredible game, especially with all the DLC switched on. But when it comes to impact, you just can’t beat Spelunky.

Strategy Roguelikes: FTL Faster Than Light | Another classic roguelike that we’re still playing years after launch.

Amazing action-roguelites: Hades 2  | And finally, let’s wrap things up with our favourite of them all. There’s no beating the original Hades, although Hades 2 comes pretty close!
