Ravenswatch Patch 1.04 delivers a major free update alongside the Merlin Hero DLC, introducing a new playable hero, new and reworked Magical Objects, and broad balance adjustments. The update also refines enemy aggro behavior, improves map readability, and incorporates several community-requested changes.
In addition to new content, the patch addresses numerous hero-specific issues, multiplayer bugs, and stability problems. Due to the scope of changes, any active runs are reset upon updating, though overall progression remains unaffected.
