by Antler Shield

Hi hi!By now you’ve probably seen the announcement for Alloyed Collective, our third expansion for Risk of Rain 2! Today, we’re going on a safari deep into the Solus-controlled regions of Petrichor V along with some very exciting news for fans of the series in this dev update. But before we crack on please head on over to the Alloyed Collective page and give it a wishlist! I recommend watching the video Dev Diary above for all those juicy details you just can't capture in a written version! New Team AdditionsWe want to make Alloyed Collective the single best addition to Risk of Rain ever - and that is one hell of a high bar. But how are we even going to approach this lofty goal? There was only ever one answer: assemble the ULTIMATE RISK OF RAIN CONTENT TEAM. Step 1: Hire some of the best content creators for Risk of Rain 2 to supplement the already very talented team at Gearbox Software. A key factor in Risk of Rain 2’s success has been its massive modding scene. It’s existed from the ...

Memory Optimization Update Notes V1.3.9

by Antler Shield

Memory Optimization Today we have pushed an update to all platforms focused on optimizing memory usage - this should have a significant positive impact on low-end PCs and consoles, the most obvious of which will be vastly improved loading times, but all players should see some performance improvements. Update Notes While the memory optimization efforts should fix a multitude of bugs/crashes that were related to memory, we have also used this opportunity to address other issues and also added 28 new Steam achievements, mostly tied to Seekers of the Storm content. Enemies are now significantly less likely to be forced through terrain with survivor attacks. Fixed issue on XBOX (when using non-official controllers) where an input delay would occur on high refresh-rate settings. The Anti-Aliasing setting will now function correctly (AA is no longer forced on.) Stunned enemies will no longer stack the duration of stun when it is reapplied, they now have the duration of stun reset. The SSAO, ...

Despite its past DLC disasters, Risk of Rain 2 unveils its next expansion

Risk of Rain 2's second DLC was the first to be produced entirely by Gearbox Software after it acquired the rights to the beloved roguelike, and it's safe to say that it launched in a torrid state. However, after working hard to right the ship, it's now ready to unveil the game's third DLC, Alloyed Collective - and it's apparently roped in help from Risk of Rain experts.

Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective Dev Diary

by preston.weiler

Hey everyone! So, what’s next? Even before we wrapped up the SOTS redevelopment roadmap, a lot of folks were asking what our plans are for the future of Risk of Rain 2. That’s a fair question. So now that Seekers of the Storm has officially relaunched (if you missed it, you should absolutely go try out bouncy CHEF), we want to give you an even more holistic view of what’s to come. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/28edb2b6eadbebdd1f2ad899cfef59995e9acb07.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/0ffa0bb3962e2e07dbfdf14f47b64af11772c46c.gif Let’s start out with the most exciting news. Introducing Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective! While we’ve been releasing updates for Seekers of the Storm, we’ve also brought in some additional folks that are familiar with Risk of Rain to help us build out the next DLC. We’re still a ways out from launch, but we wanted to bring everyone in early. In the coming months, as we reveal new parts of the DLC, we’re excited to hear all your thoughts and feedback on where we’r...

The disastrous Risk of Rain 2 DLC Seekers of the Storm has been totally revamped

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It isn't all that common for the launch of a DLC to be met with as much dismay as what's surrounded Risk of Rain 2's Seekers of the Storm. Since it launched, the DLC has been a black mark on the roguelike, which was generally held alongside genre favorites like Vampire Survivors, Darkest Dungeon 2, or Hades 2. Its creator has continued to work hard on reworking Seekers of the Storm, though, with the most recent update to it serving as a massive relaunch of the DLC. Read the rest of the story...

Dev Diary 8: Seekers of the Storm Roadmap Phase 2 - False Son Boss Fight

by jonathan.cheetham

Hello again everyone! The second phase of our Seekers of the Storm improvement roadmap is here and ready to play on all platforms! With this one, we’re making some sweeping improvements to The False Son’s boss fight. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/5ac4e8a5e254f8b22c21bde778692065a3177c26.png You can see the detailed update notes HERE but I'll give you a quick rundown too. The changes go beyond just simple cosmetic improvements so I'd highly recommend just jumping in and giving it a try. For those of you who want to know what we’ve changed, read on! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/03999dea810940e8c92006bfd896c6158135dfbf.png False Son Boss Fight We’ve made significant improvements to every aspect of the False Son encounter. While we have changed the fight so there are (hopefully) no more “what just happened??” moments - the fight is far from a pushover. So players should still find False Son quite a challenge; but a fairer one. One of the biggest updates we have made is improving the False Son...

Risk of Rain 2 update makes key fixes to the roguelike's controversial DLC

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It's been a troubling year for Risk of Rain 2 players. At first, it seemed like the Gearbox acquisition was going smoothly, but then the Seekers of the Storm DLC from August of this year was a rather large disappointment due to balancing issues, bugs and other problems. However, you can't keep a good live-action game down, and the first part of the recovery is now available. Read the rest of the story...
