Systemic Reaction, a creative division of Avalanche Studios Group, built on their expertise from creating vast open worlds and fast-paced action to merge it into the roguelite experience in a new fantasy world. Details on the game are slim, with the studio only providing small snippets of information via a short teaser trailer during last year’s Xbox & Bethesda showcase.Ravenbound is a fast-paced action game that combines the challenge of a roguelite with the choices of open world. In June 2021, Avalanche Studios announced that it was working on a new open-world co-op game coming to Xbox Game Pass. So presumably, we could see the game in the very near future. It’s unclear when Ravenbound: Tales of Avalt will be revealed, but Weber had indicated that the game seems to be in a good state of development. When asked more about the game, Shaun Weber said “I would describe the game as kinda like Dead cells but open-world”. This does suggest that Ravenbound is very much a live service. Sources have indicated that the game will have some form of season content structure where new quests, enemies, and rewards will come to the game each month.Leveling up in the game will also grant the player a new card to add to their vessel to make them stronger. New cards for each train can be bought and upgraded by using coins from looted crates in enemy settlements.Each vessel has different abilities and weapons that are tied to them, which are indicated by three trait cards’ culture trait card, weapon train card, and unique trait card. If the player dies, the player must begin a new game and select one of three “Vessels” to start again.As a raven, you can spot enemies down below to gauge their numbers and difficulty


The player can transform into a raven to view the world from the perspective of a bird, which appears to be almost identical to Senu from Assassin’s Creed.Ravenbound puts the player in the medieval-esque fictional world of Avalt as a “Vessel of the Raven”, where the player must free the world from enemies who have invaded the lands.The game is currently named Jackdaw, but it’s understood that this is the codename of the project, with the final game being titled Ravenbound: Tales of Avalt.
