If you’ve ever dreamed of ruling a cozy kingdom straight out of a Studio Ghibli film, RAEV: Kingdom on the Distant Shores is your chance to make that dream a reality. The hand-crafted, heartwarming city builder from Ravine Games will showcase its first playable demo at Gamescom 2025, happening August 20–24 in Hall 10-1, Booth B060.
Published by V Publishing, RAEV invites players to sculpt a whimsical empire from the ground up—complete with adorable, fox-like citizens called Raevins, fully customizable cities, and meaningful decisions that shape your kingdom’s destiny.
🏰 A City Builder with Soul and Story
RAEV isn’t just about placing buildings or min-maxing resources. It’s a full-blown kingdom simulation where choices matter, and every Raevin—your fluffy, charming citizens—has a story to tell.
In the Gamescom demo, players will get their first taste of:
- Strategic real-time combat
- Grid-free building with over 60 structure types
- Three distinct biomes to explore and expand into
- A cast of unique Raevins, each with personalities, skills, and stories of their own
“We wanted to build something cozy but deep—where storytelling and strategy meet,” says the team at Ravine Games. “RAEV is about giving life to a kingdom that feels uniquely yours.”
