Today we’re looking at some of the new stages in the upcoming expansion, Seekers of the Storm! Seekers of the Storm allows players to explore some of the lost regions by bringing six new stages across ancient Lemurian temples to intense showdowns on a with plenty of secrets to uncover. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/d3a672cb60afbee1fdc525ec27a33e0bf7cfcd8e.gif Petrichor V is a wild and beautiful world, and we wanted to open up new unexplored areas to players and capture the sheer beauty inherited from the expansive Risk of Rain universe. With new terrain, lush foliage, and crumbling structures, each environment offers a fresh take on the classic Risk of Rain you know and love. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/7ea35af1f848bf0e015d2f20ac183cb32dc1a216.gif One of the new environments in Seekers of the Storm is the Shattered Abodes. This Tier 1 stage features a sprawling central plain and a crater surrounded by sections of complex architecture to dodge and fight around. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/2a14566def907bd06bfdf342c0d348ea07595b9c.gif When designing this map we wanted to introduce a unique environment to enhance the gameplay experience. Each potential teleporter location has its own cover and paths for navigating enemies, giving skilled players options to dodge high-damage early boss attacks–like Wandering Vagrant's explosion and Stone Golem's laser–even with slower characters. Survivors like Railgunner, Huntress, Void Fiend, Acrid, and can utilize their high vertical mobility to move between the stage’s tier system with ease. At the same time, less mobile characters can speed across the flat central plains to grab items. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/c4df3f8d8e12068cd083159eb888a4231fef45dd.gif Players exploring Seekers of the Storm will cross the occasional new monster that calls these environments home. Survivors must be vigilant and prepared if they expect to weather Petrichor's new challenges." {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/a4e5dea94a7690882a69f82a7bd339d1358d6eb4.gif In Seekers of the Storm, we will introduce new variants allowing players to explore the map differently. These variants add a lot of unique flavors and provide an additional level of difficulty as players try to get their grasp on each version. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/517741f5417e09f0eade7870dcd2c1d206667f7f.gif In the upcoming Devotion Update players will get to explore a new map, Verdant Falls, which will have a night variant in Seekers of the Storm. This is a free update for anyone who has Risk of Rain 2 and will come out soon.

Great for damaging groups of enemies to set them up for your other abilities or to finish them off once you’ve already rained damage upon them from the skies.. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/fbe50fb45d0b5915644b7700ece00bf4ab5a08cf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/a1a72de4704fc55b2f88d583d9682927a144af7c.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/39216fd2f36577670bb7ba84aa4aa7dbd32851e7.png …speaking of which the key to success when playing as Pilot is mastery of his utility ability - Rapid Deployment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/fbe50fb45d0b5915644b7700ece00bf4ab5a08cf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/3d3f35729d7a0f0b50f5c75d02d12046e161ca34.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/39216fd2f36577670bb7ba84aa4aa7dbd32851e7.png Launch into the air and deploy your p...Risk of Rain 2 - Survivors of the Void - Console Announcement!Oct 25, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/214ba3ddb2fe0571b5cc7365963b205a16f574ca.png Hey!

Dev Thoughts 31 - Risk of Rain ReturnsJul 19, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey! Thanks again for joining us for the Dev Thoughts, today we're going to take a look at a brand new survivor for Risk of Rain Returns and talking to Hopoo Games composer Chris Christodoulou about the soundtrack. The majority of this content, along with the great new survivor trailer, are contained in the video version of the Dev Thoughts linked above, so make sure you watch it so you don't miss out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1337520/Risk_of_Rain_Returns/ For the words-n-gifs fans among us, let's get acquainted with Risk of Rain's newest survivor... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/5466bc771b83106b1cb5df29495f5e61a72825ae.png Drifter The first brand new survivor debuting in Risk of Rain Returns is Drifter. This resourceful brawler got more than she bargained for when she stowed away on the ill-fated Contact Light - luckily she has some unique skills to not only handle the dangerous inhabitants of Petrichor V but she also has some powerful tools to empower herself and her fellow Survivors. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/fbe50fb45d0b5915644b7700ece00bf4ab5a08cf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/92283e255b5cdffd5d7990bef424f2befb2dafe5.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/39216fd2f36577670bb7ba84aa4aa7dbd32851e7.png Key to Drifter’s power is her ability to utilise Scrap generated by her primary ability Blunt Force. This may appear as useless rubbish to the other survivors - but to Drifter it’s a valuable resource. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/fbe50fb45d0b5915644b7700ece00bf4ab5a08cf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/41a1aad3565058a320969a768b4c735bf041ffd4.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/39216fd2f36577670bb7ba84aa4aa7dbd32851e7.png Blunt Force is a 3 hit combo melee attack that hits enemies in a wide area - each successful hit generates lumps of Scrap which litter the floor near Drifter - gather these quickly to fuel your more powerful abilities. Blunt Force isn't the only way to generate Scrap - Drifter’s Utility ability Suffocate also fills your meter without having to collect Scrap from the environment - This large melee strike stuns and does 200% damage - any enemy below 20% health when attacked with Suffocate is immediately consumed and converted to Scrap. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/fbe50fb45d0b5915644b7700ece00bf4ab5a08cf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/9040fc946c3654827daa8ea4d9ef043ee6ee8b6f.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/39216fd2f36577670bb7ba84aa4aa7dbd32851e7.png Once you have gathered Scrap you have everything you need to fuel Drifter’s other two abilities - including her secondary attack Cleanup. This ability tosses out some of your Scrap as piercing projectiles in a short-range burst - imagine a trash powered shotgun that makes mincemeat of even the toughest enemies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/fbe50fb45d0b5915644b7700ece00bf4ab5a08cf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/d6c84e0b12da61e7a58cd927d3357c03d082f99d.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/39216fd2f36577670bb7ba84aa4aa7dbd32851e7.png Finally her special ability makes her a true powerhouse on ...Dev Thoughts #29 - Risk of Rain Returns - New Survivor AbilitiesJan 26, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/478c466a981c5e7f96ad74bfef9b771d25e599ae.png Hello!

Each survivor has three extra abilities to use as alternates - today I'm going to showcase one from each of the returning survivors leaving plenty for you to discover yourself when we release the game! Let's start off with the face of Risk of Rain - the Commando. The alternate to his secondary attack Phase Round is the Combat Knife. The Combat Knife is a close range melee attack that deals 150% damage and also wounds the enemy - Wounded enemies take an additional 50% damage from all attacks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/fbe50fb45d0b5915644b7700ece00bf4ab5a08cf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/da176f80a04460c7c83b6261fe6ce4b91100164b.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/39216fd2f36577670bb7ba84aa4aa7dbd32851e7.png Great when used in concert with the rest of his moves, slash your enemies with the Combat Knife, create some distance then blast away with your long range abilities for devastating effect. Next up is Huntress (who, by the way, is now unlocked by default like in Risk of Rain 2) - the alternative to her Laser Glaive is the new Laser Cyclone. This large slow-moving attack deals damage over time before returning back to the Huntress. The trick with this ability is to carefully kite the Laser Cyclone in and around enemies that are attacking you while continuing to pelt them with your other abilities. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/fbe50fb45d0b5915644b7700ece00bf4ab5a08cf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/9a6c05ea6d54fd4491221a54a2f9433afef83a62.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43364521/39216fd2f36577670bb7ba84aa4aa7dbd32851e7.png While on paper this ability is lower damage than the Laser Glaive - with skillful movement you can achieve near 100% uptime on this ability doing huge damage over th...Dev Thoughts #28 - Risk of Rain ReturnsDec 20, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/9059f5ccbadfc5c58a7430c78ca23b283bf6d756.png Hello and welcome once again to the Hopoo games Dev Thoughts! I'm Jonathan the Hopoo Games community manager and it's my pleasure to introduce you to our latest game: Risk of Rain Returns. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1337520/ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/28edb2b6eadbebdd1f2ad899cfef59995e9acb07.png Risk of Rain Returns {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/21d4a4d452cbcdc82a1925955f5a1b0843fe7ced.png Risk of Rain Returns is a remake of our original 2013 release Risk of Rain. For those of you unfamiliar with the original, Risk of Rain Returns is a 2d multiplayer action platformer with roguelike elements. Stranded on a strange planet waves of alien monsters randomly spawn and attack you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/36af1a1a8e6eced87f9708ed056adb9d96a4610a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/a431d3d5a1f55965948d0979e10d780366d1cad2.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/21383b4b1c06c11cd5c414cb2b8004ea9e91cfd2.png The strength of these enemies increases in difficulty as time passes so you have to balance between grabbing items to increase your power and racing through the multiple stages as fast as you can to stay ahead of the curve. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/36af1a1a8e6eced87f9708ed056adb9d96a4610a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/6a0f8746d89d7da0b2a13864a6c4a011dc1211d6.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/21383b4b1c06c11cd5c414cb2b8004ea9e91cfd2.png For those of you who are familiar with Risk of Rain - don’t think this is just a lick of paint on an old classic - Risk of Rain Returns completely overhauls the original and introduces a ton of new content. Updated Codebase - We'll be able to continue to update and add to the game with features that weren't previously possible All Risk of Rain 1 content returning with glorious new HD pixel art Enhanced Audio - including updated SFX & Chris Christodoulou is returning for some additional music tracks! Countless rebalancing and gameplay tweaks - a smoother “gameplay feel” without losing that legendary Risk of Rain challenge New Survivors - more on these in a future Dev Thoughts! New Survivor Abilities - every character now has unlockable alternate abilities to customise your build! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/2aece4e180f8ab00eb98203c38f1e06afa3aa571.png New Items - some returning from RoR2, some entirely new! New Enemies New Interactables New Stage Variants - even RoR1 veterans will have to explore again! Revamped Multiplayer - PC version is fully integrated into Steam - no more messing with router settings!!! …and a huge amount more - Risk of Rain Returns is a whole new game and an upgraded experience from the original Risk of Rain. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/36af1a1a8e6eced87f9708ed056adb9d96a4610a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/5a284afef6a2ae16322f93c39aa871fa2a8a19b5.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33906904/21383b4b1c06c11cd5c414cb2b8004ea9e91cfd2.png Between now and the to-be-announced release date I'll be doing regular Dev Thoughts updates to tell you ...Borderlands dev "intends to continue" Risk of Rain 2 updates as Hopoo makes new games independentlyNov 18, 2022 - GamesRadar NewsBorderlands studio Gearbox has now purchased the Risk of Rain IP after previously publishing Risk of Rain 2 for Hopoo Games, but the original devs say the hit indie roguelike will still get updates in the future while they pursue new IP independently...
