Ravenswatch Adds Free Romeo & Juliet DLC on Nintendo Switch, Passtech Games Delivers New Content

Nacon and Passtech Games have announced a significant free content update for their acclaimed isometric roguelike, Ravenswatch, with the introduction of the Romeo & Juliet DLC available now on Nintendo Switch.

Launched on the platform in January, Ravenswatch has quickly built a reputation among roguelike fans, earning an impressive 84% on Metacritic for its PC version and praised for its engaging co-op gameplay and fairy-tale inspired characters. Ravenswatch, developed by the talented team at Passtech Games—widely recognized for their previous hit, Curse of the Dead Gods—invites players to journey through a vibrant, storybook fantasy setting.

The game features a roster of unlockable heroes pulled from folklore, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Beowulf, and the Pied Piper, each offering unique abilities, playstyles, and powerful synergy moves in both solo and cooperative play for up to four players via Nintendo Switch's co-op capabilities. In the newly released Romeo & Juliet DLC, players can take control of the famous tragic duo, who enter the Ravenswatch universe by bargaining with the enigmatic Baba Yaga.

The DLC introduces a compelling twist: in cooperative mode, the fate of one lover is inseparably tied to the other—if Romeo falls, so does Juliet, and vice versa.

The two characters are designed with deeply linked combat mechanics, encouraging coordinated strategies.

For instance, players can transfer health between the pair, unleash combination attacks such as detonating Romeo's enchanted rose through Juliet's precise marksmanship, swap positions on the battlefield, and trigger their ultimate shared ability, "Dance with Me," dealing devastating damage to foes while waltzing side by side. The duo is also fully playable in single-player runs, where fans can experiment independently with Romeo's fencing expertise or Juliet's ranged attack prowess, each tailored for solo adventures.

This addition further expands Ravenswatch's dynamic gameplay loop, focused on time-limited exploration, tactical combat, and resource collection—requiring players to plan each run carefully for maximum success. Ravenswatch is available to download on Nintendo Switch through the eShop, and the free Romeo & Juliet DLC update is live as of today.

With robust support from both Nacon and Passtech Games, and a steady stream of positive critical and community reception, Ravenswatch continues to solidify its place among the top roguelike experiences on Nintendo Switch in 2024. Players interested in the game or new DLC can visit the eShop or follow official channels for the latest updates.

With the addition of Romeo & Juliet, now is an excellent time for both new and returning adventurers to experience all that Ravenswatch has to offer.
