Risk of Rain 2 Storms to Xbox One Today

<p>The classic multiplayer roguelike, <em>Risk of Rain</em>, returns with an extra dimension and more challenging action. Play solo, or team up with up to three friends to fight your way through hordes of monsters, unlock new loot, and find a way to escape the planet.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/risk-of-rain-2/9p6f6tbggvk3"><strong><em>Risk of Rain 2</em></strong></a> has been in development by Hopoo Games for almost three years. When we first launched in early access in March on PC, the first question everyone was asking is “when would it come to consoles?” With help from Gearbox Publishing and PlayEveryWare, today we are finally able to answer that question!</p>

<p>For our players new to the franchise, both <em>Risk of Rain 1</em> and <em>2</em> have the same core design philosophy:</p>
<ol>
<li>Easy to pick up and play, but hard to master</li>
<li>Every playthrough is different</li>
<li>Be enjoyable, regardless of whether you win or lose</li>
<li>Time = difficulty. The longer you play, the harder it gets!</li>
</ol>
<p>The length of a run in the game can last anywhere from 15 minutes to over a few hours, depending on the skill level of the player. We’re excited to see how long you can last on the planet – show us what you got!</p>

<p>We are very proud of the fact that <em>Risk of Rain 2</em> has seamless multiplayer to join up with your friends or match with other players around the world. Being able to experience the frantic balancing act of getting stronger vs. not letting the difficulty scale too high is always more fun with friends.</p>
<p>As you progress further into the game, you will unlock new playable characters, items, equipment, and more to help you survive the planet. Some of the most rare and difficult items to obtain will drastically change the way you play the game. Each of these power-ups stack infinitely so the longer you play the stronger you become.</p>

<p>As of release, <em>Risk of Rain 2</em> on Xbox One will match the PC early access version, including the Scorched Acres update and all previous patches before it. Future content updates will also update as soon as possible after they launch on PC – and yes, they will all be free<strong>,</strong> for months to come. We will be updating the game with tons of fresh content to keep things exciting for returning players.</p>

<p>Something we’ve been trying very heavily to focus on with <em>Risk of Rain 2</em> is community engagement and transparency. We want people to know what we’re doing, why, and when it will be done.</p>
<p>We’ve been updating our roadmap frequently to show progress and new information as we progress through early access. In the same vein, we will have a custom console roadmap, with specific timelines for when consoles will receive both content updates and potential console-specific features that we feel would be cool and enhance the players experience.</p>
