Hello!~It's me, Nova (also known as Turbosnacko). The rest of the team and I are super excited to finally release our latest weapon: the Thunder Katana!This weapon is filled to the brim with unique gameplay features, sounds, animations, abilities, visual effects, and more. We've spent a lot of time playtesting and polishing it up, and we think it's really showing. We hope you'll enjoy it just as much as we enjoyed creating it!The Katana began its earliest stage of development back in fall as of last year, when we had a brainstorming session about the kinds of weapons we wanted to add to the ga

Hey!We here on the Ravenfield team are currently taking a much-needed break from development (except for Ghostie, who appears to have taken over the discord server!) I'm writing this post from a forest cabin enjoying some downtime, but I figured this would be a good time to look back at what we added to the game in the first half of the year and what we have in store for the rest of 2026.2026 - So farWe've been very busy this year, delivering 5 EA updates and a Valentine's themed update. Here's what we accomplished:We released Arcade Mode as the first official campaign to use our new moddable

Hey everyone! Today I'm exicted to finally release the update I've been working towards for the past 2 or so years: Modders can now create their own Custom Campaigns for Ravenfield!With this update, modders have all the tools needed to create their own story campaigns, create their own spin of the official arcade mode, or even recreate the original conquest mode! We can't wait to see what you all create with these new tools!To get the ball rolling for campaign devleopment, we have developed a simple retro-inspired example campaign where you walk around a 2d map and get challenged by other sold

Hey everyone!For the past few months the team has been working on refining the game’s artstyle. You might have noticed this in our release art, new weapons and reworks of UI elements in the menu and for arcade mode. Today we are happy to show off how a map looks in this new style with a new-and-improved take on Island in EA37!Fun Fact :D : This post is written by Aina, game dev student and the artist behind this redesign of Island, soon to be a fulltime member of the Ravenfield team! You can see me hard at work directing grunts in the update art :DTogether with the team, I have recreated the a

Hello hello!We're back with the Arcade Mode pt2 update, which features several improvements to Arcade Mode in order to reduce RNG and make the mode more engaging! To start things off, we've added a Combat Log screen that shows up after each match, showing how you performed. To encourage you to try your best even in a losing battle, you gain coins based on your performance.After picking your Weapons/Vehicles/Reinforcement unlock, you are now presented with a shop screen. On this page, you can spend your coins to unlock specific weapons or vehicles that you might need. We hope this change makes

Hi everyone!Today is Ravenfield's 9th anniversary on Steam which we celebrated with cake at the office! I figured this would be a good time to update you all on what we're working towards this year and beyond.First things first: We are still working on Arcade Mode pt 2 which will release in the next EA update. In the last update post my plan was to get the update out before the end of April, but we've been taking our time to experiment with the design of Arcade mode to make sure it's as fun as possible. It turns out designing a fun and hopefully somwhat balanced rougelike mode like Arcade is p

We added nothing so no need to investigate anything. If a grunt tries to hand you an item DO NOT accept it!April 3 Patch:The Detective Badge is no longer given out by a random grunt, instead you'll need to find it on the Rafts map to start the quest!Patch notes:Removed p prefix from actor pose names for the dialog system. It's now valid to write both with or without the p prefix, so legacy mods will continue to work correctly.Added support for smart actor pose tags, valid tags include {gruntf} (resolves to friendly grunt portrait), {grunte frown} (resolves to enemy grunt portrait with frowning

Hey!These past couple of weeks we've been super busy working on multiple EA updates for Ravenfield. While we were originally planning on releasing Arcade Mode Pt2 this month, we've decided to push it back to mid-April. We're also delaying the update that adds support for modded Custom Campaigns to the very end of April, which will be released as Arcade Mode Pt3.Originally, we wanted the custom campaigns functionality to be part of Arcade Mode Pt2, but releasing it as Pt3 allows us to spend more time ensuring that everything works as expected, and also lets us polish up the source code + assets

Hey everyone, we may have release EA33 only a week ago, but we're already back with a new EA update! As we close in on the game's 1.0 release we want to expand on the official content with new weapons. We have several weapon packs planned for release throughout this year, and this first one has 3 new weapons:JOLT-20-SThe Jolt-20 is all about getting as many bullets as possible down range as fast as possible. Hitting your targets comes secondary, so this sub-machine gun is designed to be super fast to reload. Perfect for those times where you every shot awkwardly misses your target! Just mind y

Hey everyone! We have been super busy over the winter months working away on the game's first official campaign mode (we're not counting that old conquest mode). We are now happy to finally release ARCADE MODE!ARCADE MODEArcade mode plays like a rougelike, where you need to get through 9 rounds of matches without losing all your reinforcements. In-between each match, you get to choose wether to unlock more weapons, a new vehicle or call for extra reinforcements.Each unlock category consists of a mini-game:Equipment Drop - Roll weapon and tool cards from a box.
