'Night Is Coming' Delayed Until 2022, Attending Gamescom, Shows Off Gameplay - Trailer

Offering a fresh twist to the popular survival genre, Night is Coming adds a grim new fantasy setting and bloody combat to survival city-builders.

Night Is Coming is inspired by Slavic mythology and the mystique of the Carpathian region. The player manages their settlement, giving orders to the people and improving living conditions on various lands and locales. It is crucial to protect and upgrade the settlers, so they are equipped to fight countless monsters and beasts obsessed with destruction.

Over time, the settlers may need to move to other lands to find answers on how to repel the inevitable danger… And eventually save the world!

RPG elements offer different preferences and aversions in each settler, making the management aspect of settlements even more crucial. Though with the approaching night, players will face a new kind of challenge. Mystical creatures all set in the “Van Helsing” and “Count Dracula” universe are attacking settlements. Assign soldiers, build defensive structures, and use powerful magical spells all while trying to keep villagers sane. Build and manage, repair and improve, fight and protect, but first and foremost… survive.


Originally scheduled for 2021, Ravenscourt and Wild Forest Studios released a new gameplay trailer that sets the magical mood and gives players a glimpse into the horrors that await them once evening falls. Manage daytime hours wisely to supply settlers, satisfy their needs and desires, and set up defenses to survive the night.

Night Is Coming is appearing at the digital Indie Arena Booth 21 during gamescom along with other titles from the Ravenscourt family. On a specially created landing page, players will be able to receive information about the game, see a few initial screenshots, and prepare for the terrors Night is Coming will unleash on its settlers.

Key Features:

  • Manage your own settlement in a cold region of the Carpathian Mountains: assign roles, gather resources, provide your settlers with food, clothes and shelter, recruit new settlers, teach them cooking, farming, mining and other crafts, explore the lands around you for rare resources.
  • Each settler is an individual. Everyone has their own characteristics, abilities, needs, attributes, and skill levels. Use them wisely to develop the settlement. Also, each settler contains a big amount of spirit, which makes one stronger or weaker.
  • Gradually decreasing temperature, snowstorms and blizzards, long dark nights will be your opponents in your struggle to survive. And they will not come alone… Every winter the waves of monsters will be stronger, the darkness thicker.
  • The fabulous world of Slavic culture came to life after the curse that came over these lands. Swamp Banshees, Leschies, Werewolves, Night Nurses, and many other monsters will come at night to destroy the settlement.
  • Form a strong settlement. Stand all the waves of monsters. Destroy the baron. And move to new lands. The more difficult is the path, the more fruitful your journey will be. If you avoid challenges, the difficulty level grows quickly — the Darkness feels your fear and pursues your settlers more aggressively.
  • Bring powerful heroes to your settlement. Each of them is an ancient master of his profession. Who will pass on his knowledge to you and will also fight for you!
  • A living, breathing world: sunrises and sunsets, birds, elemental spirits, dynamic weather, and seasonal shifts. Charming audio content by the master of instrumental music Alizbar.

Night Is Coming is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for 2022.
