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

by editor@pcgamesn.com

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.

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...

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...

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...
