Crowsworn
video game
Crowsworn is an upcoming Metroidvania game developed by Canadian independent developer Mongoose Rodeo. The game was funded on Kickstarter, and has not had a new release date announced since a delay in August 2023. It is planned to release on Windows, macOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Gameplay
Crowsworn is a Metroidvania with elements of the soulslike genre. The player character fights enemies in melee using a scythe, and at range using two guns. They can also utilize Corvian powers, magical abilities that can be used in combat. Use of Corvian powers requires the exertion of an energy called Malice, which can be recharged by attacking enemies with the scythe. The game features platforming, side quests, over 120 enemies, and more than 30 bosses, as well as a boss rush mode and a planned DLC expansion after launch.
Premise
Crowsworn will take place in Fearanndal, a once vibrant kingdom now beset by a curse. Now "overrun by sightless creatures of nightmare", "all but the last remnants of humanity have seemingly vanished". The player will take control of a currently unnamed protagonist with the appearance of a plague doctor and a crow, who wakes up in a coffin suffering from amnesia.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Crowsworn” as video game. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as video game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q107657351. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2023.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
