The Nintendo Switch version of Ravenswatch secured a release date today. It’ll head to Nintendo’s console on January 23, 2025.

Ravenswatch was originally unveiled for Nintendo Switch at the start of 2023. The game first came to PC in September, so it’s taking a bit longer to launch on the console.

3,000 standard copies will be available. Interior art, a full-color manual, an exclusive sticker, and a trading card pack will be included in each unit.
