Revenants: Spirit & Mind Patch Notes — October 31, 2022
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
I'm thrilled to announce the full release of Revenants: Spirit & Mind on the Steam store! It's taken 2 years of development and 9 months of early access to get here. Thank you to the community for all the feedback and testing, and to any content creators who've played Revenants.
During this time we've made some major upgrades. A complete overhaul of the audio has made Revenants more immersive than ever. There's also a new OST developed by Shodah. if you're going to battle demons, you might as well have a killer soundtrack to keep you going. There have also been big changes to the gameplay with a new system for the tablet camera, and the revenant behavior. In the last major update, we changed the lighting to a darker more realistic look. You can be sure that these changes will make a bump in the night.
What's next for Revenants? There will be some patches in the following weeks to fix any new bugs, the ion-flashbang also has a planned re-work. After this, the main development focus will be to finish changing VR frameworks from SteamVR to OpenXR. This will allow revenants to be released on additional platforms including the Quest. More optimizations will come at a similar time. Future cases will then be developed based on how well Spirit & Mind is received.
