Description of Risk of Rain Returns
Developed by Hopoo Games and published by Gearbox Publishing, Risk of Rain Returns rebuilds Risk of Rain from the ground up. Now with an updated codebase, the game expands on the original and implements features and learnings from Risk of Rain 2.
Drop pods onto the planet Petrichor V again (or for the first time) with HD pixel art, original and new music from Chris Christodoulou, lots of new changes, and more.
For new Risk of Rain players, prepare to fight against hordes of challenging monsters that threaten your survival, collect and combine items to enhance your abilities, and raise your power to god-level as the number and difficulty of your enemies increase.
This decade-old modern game has been meticulously designed, beautifully restored, and loaded with new ways to play. No two times of the iconic roguelike are the same and that’s never been more true than now with enhanced new and familiar Survivors, customizable Survivor abilities, new items, deadly monsters, and a game mode.
Risk of Rain Returns implements a revamped multiplayer and makes it easier than ever to play with friends.
Release in 2023
Risk of Rain Returns takes everything we learned in making Risk of Rain 2 and applies it to the original work we created in our dorm room.
As we chart our future as developers, it’s important for us to look back at our early work. Risk of Rain Returns is a token of our appreciation to this amazing community. We hope everyone is as excited about the future as we are.
