Good Day, Adventurers!

We are beyond excited to share with you all our 2025 Roadmap!

Since Ravendawn's Release in January, we've seen an incredible year of Adventures, Rivalries & Wars & Secrets Uncovered. A world that has truly come to life with all our Adventurers. But this is just the beginning. We are ready to push the boundaries farther with our 2025 Roadmap!

After successfully completing our full 2024 Roadmap, with dozens of additional patches of improvements & changes to Ravendawn, we've continued to shape and improve Ravendawn together. Now, as we step into 2025, we’re bringing an even more ambitious Roadmap, packed with exciting new features, challenges, and adventures, with a strong focus on user accessibility, market reach, and strong lategame content.
 

A Glimpse Into the Future: The 2025 Roadmap

With a year of exciting updates ahead, we want to give you a sneak peek into our 2025 Roadmap. From game-changing new features to long-awaited improvements, we’re committed to making Ravendawn an even more immersive and widespread experience. While this roadmap includes many core milestones, it is only a fraction of what we have planned for 2025.

While we would love to share dates on Roadmaps, in the MMORPG industry, this often leads to overpromising and missed deadlines, which can erode trust. Our approach is to announce dates only after a feature has passed full QA, ensuring that we commit to what we promise. Stay tuned as we reveal more details about what’s in store in the near future!

Only Major Features, Systems, and Content are shown on the Roadmap. Smaller features, content drops and balances are not included, as this image would have to be 50 times larger to include everything we have coming.

Now we want to hear from you! Please share in Discord with everyone what upcoming Roadmap feature you are most excited about!
 

Update 2.1.0 – Coming Soon!

Speaking of what’s ahead, mark your calendars for next week, as that’s when we’re expecting to launch Update 2.1.0! This update will bring exciting new content, improvements, and gameplay refinements that we can’t wait for you to experience.

We'll be introducing significant balance changes to Archetypes and the Skill Points system. Due to these adjustments, we will need to reset everyone’s build, meaning all players will have to redistribute their Skill Points once they log back in. To ensure a smooth transition, we strongly recommend making sure your character is in a safe zone before logging off ahead of the maintenance for Update 2.1.0.

Update 2.1.0 is set to deliver some exciting improvements to how you experience combat, crafting, and the world itself. Whether you’re strategizing your next build, refining your skills, or simply immersing yourself in the ever-evolving world of Ravendawn, this update will make every moment feel more dynamic and rewarding.

Let’s take a closer look at part of what’s coming with the update!
 

A Brand-New Launcher for a Seamless Experience

A significant improvement coming your way is the brand-new Ravendawn Launcher! This upgrade is designed to make accessing and updating the game smoother, faster, and more seamless than ever before. 

We understand that players have encountered frustrating download errors and update issues in the past, and this new launcher is here to change that. This is an essential step forward in ensuring that our technical foundation is ready for everything we have planned for the future. A better launcher means a better game experience, so get ready for a new way to jump into Ravendawn!

A new download of the launcher may be required, don’t worry — we’ll provide all the details you'll need! Stay tuned for more information.
 

Breeding Overhaul: A More Immersive and Rewarding Experience

For many, Breeding has been an integral part of the Ravendawn experience, but we recognized that certain elements didn’t quite work as originally intended. With the upcoming overhaul, Breeding will become a more immersive and sustainable activity, aligning with other professions like Herbalism and Mining.

All items related to Breeding have been revamped, and new mechanics have been introduced to make the process more engaging. Key highlights include:

Moa Treats & Rations: These items have been reworked to provide more meaningful bonuses, with new Tiers offering improved effects depending on your Moa’s level.

Moa Remedies: Advanced Breeding now requires specially crafted remedies, bringing Alchemy into the process.

Neststrings: A brand-new feature that allows you to influence the traits of your Moa’s offspring, making it easier to create the ideal mount.

Reworked Breeding Phases: Reduced waiting times, interactive mechanics, and new ways to speed up the process.

Breeding Limits & Market Balance: Adjustments have been made to prevent Moa overpopulation and to keep the market healthy and competitive.

Legacy Level Requirements & Bonded Levels: These changes ensure that high-tier Moas remain exclusive and rewarding for those who dedicate themselves to mastering Breeding.

And let’s not forget the most important part — adorable baby Moas are on the way!
 

The Future of Ravendawn

We couldn’t be more excited about the future of Ravendawn. The journey so far has been incredible, but we know that the best is yet to come. Our team is working tirelessly to ensure that every feature, improvement, and update is carefully designed to deliver the best possible experience. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a new adventurer, there’s never been a better time to explore the world of Ravendawn.

As we continue to expand the world, new challenges and encounters await. Expeditions will take Adventurers into uncharted territories, and strategy will be crucial for survival. Powerful Open World Bosses will also emerge, testing the strength of even the most battle-hardened warriors. These new threats will demand courage, skill, and cooperation — but the rewards will be well worth the risk.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Here’s to even more adventures, battles, and unforgettable moments!

See you in Ravendawn!
