Developer Systemic Reaction have announced their next game Ravenbound, an action-roguelite, that when you die, has your experience and insight pass onto a new character, in order to keep the Raven alive.

You are the Vessel. Within you is the Raven, a powerful weapon forged by the ancient gods to rid the land of darkness. Knowing this mission could take many lifetimes to complete, the gods have allowed each Vessel to pass down to the next the wisdom they gain traveling across the world and battling ferocious enemies. Be ready to die, but know that with every peril you overcome, you serve those who will follow you.

"It's really exciting to explore a new genre as a studio for Systemic Reaction," said Lead Game Designer Simon Laserna. "It's been a fun challenge to combine our open-world legacy with roguelite mechanics and the legendary monsters of the Swedish woods into its own game world!"

There is no release window for the game, but it is coming to PC and you can add it to your Steam wishlist.
