Risk of Rain 2 – Mysterious New Expansion Appears on Steam

With Risk of Rain Returns launching on November 8th, a new listing has appeared for a Risk of Rain 2 expansion on Steam. There’s not much information available, though its screenshots indicate mysterious blue lights in the game’s current stages. A new patch is also available with some…interesting patch notes.

Even the store page’s description indicates very little, though there are five “packages” which are still untranslated. Perhaps these will become more discernible over time. It’s worth noting that Gearbox Software is the developer instead of Hopoo Games, which makes sense since it purchased the Risk of Rain IP and also co-developed the previous expansion, Survivors of the Void.

Stay tuned for more details in the meantime. Risk of Rain 2 is available for PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One and has sold over four million copies on Steam as of 2021.
