Lost Reavers
2015 video game
Lost Reavers (ロストリーバース, Rosuto Rībāsu) was a free-to-play multiplayer online game developed and published by Bandai Namco for the Wii U. The game was distributed via Nintendo eShop, and took advantage of the Nintendo Network. A public beta test was being held in Japan from September 3rd until September 13th, followed by the title's commercial release on December 2nd, 2015. The game also released internationally on April 28th, 2016. As of May 30th, 2019, the game's servers have been shut down.
On September 23rd, 2016, a piece of software was downloaded onto most Wii U user's systems called "Lost Reavers NOTICE". Its icon was the icon for Lost Reavers, inside of a gift box. When the software was opened, it redirected you to the Nintendo eShop page for Lost Reavers. Due to the Wii U eShop's servers being shut down on March 27th, 2023, this software no longer functions properly.
Gameplay
During any given session, four players assumed the roles of four characters - Sayuri, Dwayne, Victoria, and ShadowStalker - working cooperatively in missions to raid multi-roomed maps and recover treasure known as Relics. Players faced against waves of various undead monsters, such as giant bosses, in order to clear rooms, solve various puzzles, and move Relics to a certain point.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Lost Reavers” as 2015 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 2015 video game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18928680. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2023.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
