Introductions

## **Intro Message**

**Ravenfield is an Early Access game.**

**The game will improve over the**

**course of development.**

**Thank you for your support!**

## EA1 - EA7 & EA10

Two Eagle soldiers walk past the black background from left to right, one wields a PATRIOT while the other wields an RK-44; the intro message appears on screen shortly afterwards.

## EA8

An Eagle soldier with a PATRIOT walks halfway through the screen from the left, only to stop and look backwards noticing the intro message appeared along with a horizontal ladder in front, where three Raven soldiers with RK-44s climb through the ladder from left to right in the background (with the last one climbing backwards), after which the Eagle soldier stops looking backwards and promptly exits the screen on the right.

## EA9

Early Access 9 is the first Ravenfield build where no intro messages will appear, but are instead replaced by an opening:

**???: Oops… Looks like there is no intro today.**

**(enter soldier)**

**Soldier: Hey there!**

**Soldier: Usually at this point there would be a big ol’ text saying something like…**

**"Ravenfield is an Early Access game. The game will improve over the course of development."**

**Soldier: Well, today it’s different.**

**Soldier: HQ has cut the intro budget. The rumor is all funds are spent developing a new, cutting edge weapon.**

**(thoughtful pose)**

**Soldier: Maybe this is related to the UFO sightings???**

**(facepalm pose)**

**Soldier: Are they trying to hide something from us???**

**(singing pose)**

**Soldier: Are we all just cogs in the machine… Turning a blind eye while the truth is out there?**

**(no pose)**

**Soldier: Well, us grunts can barely see anything with these helmets on anyway.**

**Soldier: Looks like you’ll be answering these questions on your own.**

**Soldier: Good luck!**

**(exit soldier, LOADING MENU...)**

## EA11

Two Eagle soldiers walk past the black background from left to right, one wields a PATRIOT while the other wields an RK-44; the intro message appears on screen shortly afterwards.

Note: The Eagle soldier wielding a PATRIOT is also seen carrying a Walkman, with the new Ravenfield March playing in the background.

## EA12

An Eagle soldier with a PATRIOT crawling from the left, who proceeds to walk while aiming down the sights halfway through the screen; the intro message appears on screen shortly afterwards.

## EA13

A smoke grenade was deployed on the lower left corner of the screen; partly obstructing the intro message, followed by two Eagle soldiers aiming their PATRIOTs walk past the black background from left to right.

## EA14

Early Access 14 is the second Ravenfield build where no intro messages appeared, but are instead replaced by a sequence of two Eagle soldiers watching a television programme by PIXEL HEAVEN ANIMATION STUDIOS; one sits on a box while the other sits on the floor.

## EA15

A new Rhino tank is floating through mid-air in front of the grey background, with its turret rotating at high speeds while the intro message is being displayed on screen, after which numerous Rhinos, APCs and Quadbikes fall down from top of the screen onto the floor; vehicles dropped are completely randomized, making the Early Access intro the most unique of all builds.

## EA16 - EA25

Two Eagle soldiers walk past the grey background from left to right, one wields a PATRIOT while the other wields an RK-44; the intro message appears on screen shortly afterwards.

## EA26 - present

Two Eagle soldiers walk past the grey background from left to right, one wields a SLAM-R while the other wields an M1 GARRET; the intro message appears on screen shortly afterwards. Unlike the previous version, this one shows the soldiers having lighting on them, unlike the full bright of previous versions.

## REALLY SPOOKY VERSION (EA5)

A skeleton wielding a Sabre walks halfway through the black background from the left, only to stop and look backwards noticing six more skeletons with Sabres walking past in perfect uniformity, after which the lone skeleton stops looking backwards and promptly exits the screen on the right; a specialized intro message appears on screen with the following:

**Ravenfield is a really spooky game.**

**If you are easily spooked,**

**please exit the game now!**

**Thank you for your cooperation!**
