Risk of Rain 2 - Seekers of the Storm Dev Diary #2

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Hello Everyone!

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 [REDACTED] with plenty of secrets to uncover.



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.



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.



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 [REDACTED] 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.



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."



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.



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. We dive deeper into Update Devotion in the Triple-i Initiative Showcase.



Also in the Devotion Update, a very special Mercenary skin will be arriving in Risk of Rain 2 for all players. We think it will remind you of someone
