Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of the Storm 2.0 Roadmap

An update for Risk of Rain 2 was released today, November 4, to Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation players (Nintendo Switch coming soon).
This update addresses more of the bugs you've reported to us. That includes tackling some of the larger reported issues like the overabundance of elites.

In addition to that update, we’d like to share our more wholistic plans for Seekers of the Storm. Our ultimate goal is to build Seekers of the Storm into something that can be celebrated by the community for years to come.

Over the next few months, significant changes will come to Seekers of the Storm. The updates that we’re exploring are expansive, so they won’t happen overnight. But the scope of the changes should underline the seriousness we’re approaching this challenge with.

We’ve divided the updates into three release phases:
Phase 1: Items & Elites
Phase 2: The False Son Boss Fight
Phase 3: Survivors

We know that you're eager to see what’s in store and we can’t wait for you to jump in!

Alright. That's nice. That explains the silence that we had for some time. Actions speak louder than words and if you are genuinely committed we can really say thank you for listening and trying and not just moving away. Hope to see more in the future!

[moritzberns]

This is by far the best thing yall could have done. Thank you for listening and trying to make this game we all love into what it should have been at DLC launch. Im excited for the future.

[ikheetdaan]

Love to see you back, and the team that truly cares for this game improving it

[ToasterPig]

I appreciate the efforts made to listen to community feedback. I sincerely hope that something like this will never happen again.

Was playing ROR2 last night with some friends and discussed how nothing will be done about the game’s current state. Boy am I glad I’m being proven wrong. Thank you for those on the ROR2 dev team and those greenlighting the work going forward.

I've been playing a mod that changes antlers to give movement speed and I am really excited to see the update noe

[CorpseTank]

Even though I've been very pissed about SotS, this is amazing actually. Reworking basically all the itmes?! I couldn't have asked for more!
It seems my favorite game is back on the menu!

[GARYtheCANNIBAL]

Thank you guys. I know people are saying "you shouldn't have released the DLC in that state", but you can't just un-release it, so this is the next best thing. Glad you're all willing to take a look at every aspect of the game.

My one complaint today is that the elite spawn fix should've been included in a hotfix; it was by far the biggest remaining problem and made the game hellish, especially on Eclipse. Either way, thank you guys for finally fixing that. Keep at it. ❤

When developers listen to their player base 😍

[crossboy]

Those elite reworks are actually really cool so far. I actually liked the twisted elites idea behind them, but it definitely wasn't fair as-is. Making it dodgeable honestly solves the entire problem with it in a really interesting way.
Seeing this is actually really good. You guys have some great ideas for the future, and I look forward to seeing more!... especially for my poor boy chef, he was my favorite before :(

[jerkoalfier]

I just want to wholeheartedly say thank you on behalf of everyone. I had almost entirely lost hope for this game and I am just so happy to be excited for it again because I know this can be the best game, period. It just needs some love and I am incredibly hopeful for the future of it.❤❤

Dude I'm so happy to see Jon back as community manager, all the dev logs he was a part of were straight fire

[Damingo]

Loving the game. My buddy and i just started playing only days ago and cant stop. over 25 hours played on the weekend alone.

“SALE STAR MY BELOVED” 😂😂😂 11/10 tier list

[BlobOfAwe]

Actually a huge W for the dev team! This DLC had a really rough start, but step by step you guys are earning back the faith of the community. Thank you guys so much for committing so totally to making this beloved game everything we hoped it would be! I can't wait to see these changes roll out!

[nightcap._.]

[DamageMaximo]
