Hey!

As we all know, the next update is 1.0, the last update until we leave Early Access. Earlier this month, I ran a quick tweet to get some feedback on what RoR2 1.0 may look like to you.



From that tweet, we not only learned that there’s quite a few areas of improvement we could work on, but also that you guys are passionate about what RoR2 1.0 could be - with many fantastic suggestions and ideas of things that weren’t in the original roadmap.

=== Updated Roadmap ===



We don’t take 1.0 lightly - we know a lot of players have been waiting for the full release to play the game, or have joined us early on in EA and are now holding off for the full rel... Read more

Hi!

This is a bug fix patch to address issues that came up in the first week of the Artifacts 2.0 Update most of which were reported by the community. As we mentioned in the Artifacts 2.0 Patch Notes, this was our biggest and most complex update so far and we are very happy to see so many players enjoying the new content. The number of new players joining in on Risk of Rain 2 and our community have been insane the last couple weeks, so thank you all so much.

• Remove Metamorphosis from being selected in Prismatic Trials

And the Winner of the Survivor Vote Is...

The votes have been cast, and you’ve made your voices heard! This past week, we tasked you with an important decision--Risk of Rain 2’s next survivor--and you came out in droves. Some of you even got creative with your own campaigning!
After a whopping 124,000+ votes, we’re happy to announce that the survivor making its way to the 1.0 launch is…

A Brand New Survivor!

It looks like you, the amazing community, want something completely different and new! Actually, we were caught by surprise with this choice as we assumed it would be either CHEF or Sniper, but love that the community continues to push us in new directions! This is certainly exciting, and something that allows us to think creatively, in new and innovative ways! With this in mind, we are goi... Read more

Hello video gamers. We wanted to give an update on how things have been going since the launch of the Artifacts Update - spoiler alert, it's been one of our largest and most successful updates yet! It has been a ton of fun for us to watch players work together on finding the Artifact codes and testing new combinations to alter the way they play. Apparently we should’ve hidden the codes better, since the community as a whole has discovered them all in like 4 hours.

=== Artifact Designs ===

One of the biggest topics when we were working on Artifacts 2.0 was “how are we going to balance Artifacts?” They require no resource, the trials require no investment of in-game time, and have wildly varying power. We’ve also seen some discussion about the balance of Artifacts in the community.

In development, there wer... Read more

hi

Sorry we forgot to say Happy New Years :< As we roll in the next decade, we wanted to give you another update on what we have been up to at Hopoo Games the last couple months.

In December we launched the Hidden Realms Update - and we are really pleased with how it turned out! We’re glad to see all of you enjoying the new content, especially getting instantly 1-shot across the map by a Capacitor Scavenger. Also in December, we had our first sale, were nominated for a Steam Award, and were one of the top sellers for the duration of the Winter Sale. As always - thank you all so much for the support!

Looking forward to 2020, we have a few exciting things coming up as we approach 1.0.

=== Content Update 4 === We are still in the thick of development for CU4, but what we do have so far is turning out r... Read more

Happy Holidays to all wet poison dog players!

This week we released our Hidden Realms update, which was a bit of an experimental update for us. We covered a lot of risky ground, like giving monsters items and equipment, dedicated server support, and a new mini-gamemode in the Void Fields. With the deployment of the update going so well, we had a fun day in the office watching streams, reading Discord, and even joining in on some runs with players in Quickplay and their Dedicated Servers.



Not only that, but after launching the Skills 2.0 Update we heard a lot of feedback from players wanting more content unlocked as part of the base game. We tried this in the Hidden ... Read more

This is the third major content update for Risk of Rain 2 on PC. With this update we are focusing on expanding the base game with fun and exciting content that the player will see right when the update lands. While Skills 2.0 had a bunch of challenges and unlocks, some players preferred to have content unlocked in the base game, and we’ve heard the feedback!


This Content Update will be coming to consoles in the near future - for details on how our Content Updates get ported to console versions, check out our previous Development Thoughts here: {LINK REMOVED}https://www.google.com/url?q=https://steamcommunity.com/g... Read more

Hey everyone, it's that time of the season when we look back at the year and settle on favorites. 2019's been amazing for games, but if Risk of Rain 2's been a source of fun, challenge, and joy for you and your friends, please consider nominating us for a Steam Award. We'd be truly grateful.

it's been an incredible year since launch and we're genuinely thankful for your support, feedback, ideas, and precious game time. We're looking forward to dropping another big content update in December and shipping 1.0 in 2020. Stick around, because there's much more to come :)

Hey everyone! It's been a bit, and we wanted to give a big update on WHEN future updates will be landing on both PC and console. There has been lots of excitement and questions so we thought would clarify those now.

**=== PC Update ===**

Since Early Access release, we’ve gotten into very a solid rhythm of development. CU3 has us really excited - we think players will enjoy all of the content we are adding. We took notice that some of the content we added into CU2 might be a bit difficult for players to unlock, and felt like a bit of a grind for players who have been with us since Early Access launch. For CU3, we are focusing on adding a lot of BASE content to the game to make every run feel fresh and exciting for all players. Not only that, but we plan on revisiting some old content and making sure they're hitting the same quality level as our newest content.

It's also no secret that the Fall update landed veeeery close to the end of fall, same... Read more
