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.

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...

Risk of Rain 2 roadmap details massive Seekers of the Storm gameplay fixes

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It's been a very rocky road for Risk of Rain 2 over recent months. Once regarded as one of the finest roguelikes out there, on a par with The Binding of Isaac, Dead Cells, Hades, and Noita, it's definitely gone on to take a beating. Thankfully there's still hope for it, as its new developer is attempting to right the good ship Seekers of the Storm and set sail for calmer seas. That brighter future just took a step closer, in the form of a roadmap that shows exactly how the game will come back from the brink over the coming months. Read the rest of the story...

That includes tackling some of the larger reported issues like the overabundance of elites. Full notes are here . In addition to that update, we’d like to share our more wholistic plans for Seekers of the Storm. Our ultimate goal is to build Seekers of the Storm into something that can be celebrated by the community for years to come. Over the next few months, significant changes will come to Seekers of the Storm. The updates that we’re exploring are expansive, so they won’t happen overnight.

We’ve divided the updates into three release phases: Phase 1: Items & Elites Phase 2: The False Son Boss Fight Phase 3: Survivors {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/c9eeef3dc33ebd7206333b8c97b64a431b5643be.png Some content, people already love.

Hey everybody! Today we're revealing our roadmap for the overhaul of Seekers of the Storm. You can find that over here. But if you're looking for the changelog for V1.3.5, you've come to the right place. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/df020718d40cf821555aab53126797dd951a4714.png V1.3.5 Notes: Resolved a player reported issue that resulted in the spawn rate of elites being too high after stage 2. The Mul-T Sentry skin has been tweaked to eliminate a small spike seen and reported by some players {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/ee4a60a75e5e18b77ed79b8c96d17e9431e90c35.gif Resolved a reported issue where the Voidling would not re-appear upon starting the second phase of its fight. False Son would have trouble using his ‘charged’ attack if your attack speed became extremely high. This has been resolved, so resume printing syringes at your leisure. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/fe25d1240929213e1885be229e5a0f327ab15412.gif As a connected client, some players reported that Seeker’s Spirit Punch had a c...

More changes are on the way; we just wanted to resolve these quickly for everyone. V1.3.4 Notes: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/df020718d40cf821555aab53126797dd951a4714.png We have addressed the following reported concerns from players: When the False Son used Club of the Forsaken (Primary – swing attack) while falling, he could become locked in his ‘diving attack’ state despite colliding with the ground. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/57cc28c318b565e4fe1bd09c824a20df53d0ee8c.gif The shader for the Halcyon Beacons in Gilded Coast would now wrap all the way around the beacon as expected. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/eb1868df6bb3b1e74923484c531bf9d89ac9ee8a.png Upon defeating Mithrix and escaping successfully, connected clients sometimes saw the final kill screen for a moment before the cred...

New Risk of Rain 2 patch begins fixing Seekers of the Storm issues

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It's fair to say that the Seekers of the Storm DLC for Risk of Rain 2 hasn't gone quite how developer Gearbox wanted. At launch, the game was beset by negative reviews, with players citing issues with balance, weapons, bugs, and a general feeling that it wasn't the same quality of previous updates. The game's developer, for its part, has promised to turn the ship around and fix what's gone wrong, and the first part of that redemption arc has now launched. Read the rest of the story...

Seekers of the Storm - First Patch

by preston.weiler

Hey Everyone,{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/df020718d40cf821555aab53126797dd951a4714.png We want to start off by mentioning how much we appreciate folks jumping in and giving Seekers of the Storm a swing – we’ve never had so many people playing Risk of Rain 2. We also hear you loud and clear—this DLC fell short of your expectations. That feedback is fair. We’d like to take a moment and walk everyone through our plan to make it right. First, to be clear, we're committed to making the DLC everything that you expected and deserve. The team already jumped in and knocked out solutions for a BUNCH of the bugs some users are reporting. The full patch notes can be found below. Here are a few highlights: Resolved a bug with the way builds are compiled that occasionally led to behaviors being erroneously tied to FPS. Addressed an issue that some users reported with items not being picked up when interacted with. Mithrix will no longer become (nearly) invincible upon stealing a player’s Warped Echo....

Risk of Rain 2's creators, along with 'many other' devs from Hopoo, have been snapped up by Valve—which means the end of the studio's unannounced game

by Harvey Randall

Risk of Rain 2—and the series in general—has enjoyed plenty of success over the years. With the first game made by uni students Duncan Drummond and Paul Morse, and being somewhat of an indie smash hit, the second arrived in 2019 and also sold gangbusters, hitting 500,000 players in early access...
