EVILBANE and the RAVEN Universe: Confirmed Connections

Why players search for "EVILBANE RAVEN"

Searching for "EVILBANE RAVEN" returns two very different games, and that mix-up causes most of the confusion around this title. Netmarble released a mobile action RPG called EvilBane: Rise of Ravens in 2016 for Android and iOS. The game covered on this wiki is a separate project: EVILBANE, a co-op multiplayer action title built for PC and announced under the working name Project EVILBANE.

The names are close enough that guides, videos and store pages for the two games are frequently quoted as if they described the same release. They do not. The 2016 mobile title has its own heroes, its own progression and its own auto-battle systems, and none of that has been confirmed for the new PC game.

Warning

Do not plan your EVILBANE character around mechanics you remember from EvilBane: Rise of Ravens. Auto-battle, adventure-mode stage grinding and the mobile game's class roster have not been confirmed for this release.

What Netmarble has confirmed about the connection

The relationship between the two titles is documented in Netmarble's own announcement. When Project EVILBANE was revealed in June 2025, the publisher described it as a new co-op multiplayer action title set in a dark fantasy world inspired by the narrative roots of Netmarble's acclaimed Raven IP.

That statement is the confirmed link, and it is deliberately loose. It describes a shared narrative foundation, not a shared game. In practice it means:

A shared dark fantasy setting

The world draws on the narrative roots of the Raven IP, so returning players may recognise the tone, factions and themes rather than specific systems.

A new cast and conflict

EVILBANE introduces its own conflict between demonic forces, warlords and opportunistic factions fighting over a ruined kingdom.

Separate gameplay rules

Combat, progression and Operations are designed for this game. The announcement describes fluid melee-to-ranged transitions and squad-based missions, not mobile auto-play.

The official announcement also notes that the game's key systems were still being refined at reveal, so anything beyond the confirmed description should be treated as subject to change.

How EVILBANE differs from EvilBane: Rise of Ravens

The clearest way to separate the two games is to look at what each one actually is. The table below compares the confirmed facts rather than community assumptions.

If you are looking for information about the mobile game, this wiki is not the right source. Every guide here describes the PC co-op project identified by Steam App ID 3718160.

Reading shared-universe references in official material

Once you know the connection is narrative rather than mechanical, official material becomes easier to read. Trailers and event demos use the shared setting to establish mood and stakes, while gameplay segments show systems that belong only to this project.

Here is a practical way to sort what you see:

1. Check the source of a claim. Netmarble's own announcement and the Steam store page describe this game; fan videos about Rise of Ravens describe the 2016 mobile title.
2. Separate setting from systems. Shared-universe wording explains the world, not the combat or progression rules.
3. Treat unreleased details as unconfirmed. Anything the developers have not described in an announcement or shown in a demo is still open to change.
4. Follow the official channels for updates. The Steam news feed and the official Netmarble site carry the announcements that actually apply to this build.

Tip

When a guide or video mentions classes, auto-battle or stage farming without naming a PC playtest build, assume it is describing the older mobile game until you can check the source.
