Update: Ravenswatch also gets matchmaking
November 16 has come and gone and the ranks of the Ravenswatch have swollen with the addition of The Monkey King. That brings the roster of playable characters to eight.
However, the introduction of Sun Wukong is not the only the new thing being added to this mythological roguelite today.
I just caught wind that the devs have added matchmaking, so players will now be able to join forces with others online. Players will be grouped based on their selected difficulty.

Sun Wukong is coming to Ravenswatch on November 16, Passtech have confirmed.
That’s right, Dear Reader, one of the most legendary figures in Chinese literature, The Monkey King himself, is heading to the Early Access action-roguelike, which is currently out on PC Steam.
If you’re not already aware of the game, it’s from the creators of Curse of the Dead Gods, which you might have heard of, and it brings together various figures from folklore and mythology.
The most interesting thing I was able to ascertain from the presser is the introduction of a new parrying technique that The Monkey King can reuse without a delay. It makes it sound like he’ll be really good at fending off a number of enemies at once, with proper handling.
Meet The Monkey King
The Monkey King is described as a difficult character to work with due to his high risk style. However, in the right hands, he’s most useful:
“His clones and transfigurations give you the element of surprise, which is certainly an advantage when faced with what the Nightmares throw at you,” so states the presser.
Ravenswatch is current Early Access on PC, but the plan is to bring the game to PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox platforms next year.
Currently the game has seven playable heroes and the first two chapters, with two more heroes and one more chapter still to come before version 1.0 is with us.
Right, that’s me done. Have a trailer.
