Nacon and developer Passtech Games have announced that Ravenswatch will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on December 10, 2026, outside North America, followed by a December 18 release in North America. The upgraded version of the cooperative action roguelike will feature improved textures, Full HD resolution and a stable 60 FPS experience, according to the publisher’s November 10 announcement.
Players who already own Ravenswatch on the original Nintendo Switch will receive the Switch 2 upgrade for free. Nacon also confirmed a physical edition containing the game cartridge, every content update released since launch and nine downloadable content packs, including three additional playable heroes: Romeo, Juliet and Merlin.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version introduces several technical improvements over the original Switch release. Alongside upgraded textures and 1080p output, Nacon is promising a stable 60 FPS, providing a higher-performance version of the game on Nintendo’s newer hardware. These specifications are publisher-confirmed targets rather than independently verified performance measurements.
The free upgrade means existing Switch owners will not need to purchase the game again to access the enhanced version. Meanwhile, the physical release offers a package containing the game’s accumulated updates and additional content. Nacon has not specified separate pricing for the new edition in its announcement.
Developed by Passtech Games, the studio behind Curse of the Dead Gods, Ravenswatch is a top-down action roguelike featuring real-time combat, character progression and procedurally varied runs. Players control heroes inspired by fairy tales and legends as they battle creatures known as Nightmares threatening the world of Reverie.
The game features 13 playable heroes, more than 250 talents and 50 magical items that can be combined to create different character builds. Four difficulty levels and custom game modes provide additional options, while online cooperative multiplayer supports up to four players with cross-play functionality.
The Switch 2 release also expands the selection of cooperative games available on Nintendo’s newer console, following releases such as The Outlast Trials on Nintendo Switch 2. Unlike the survival-horror gameplay of The Outlast Trials, Ravenswatch focuses on repeated combat runs, character abilities and cooperative roguelike progression.
Nacon released a Nintendo Switch 2 announcement trailer alongside the confirmation of the regional launch dates. Ravenswatch is already available on PC through Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and the original Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 edition is scheduled to arrive on December 10 in Europe and other regions outside North America, with North American players receiving it on December 18.
