Hey Folks!

Building an expansion that we think you will all love has been the main goal of our team for a long time now. Having the opportunity to see everyone finally experience everything we’ve been working on is a dream come true. We hope you all enjoy it as much as we loved getting to make it.

This expansion brings a LOT of content! We wanted to ensure that the new content adds to the experience without overshadowing the incredible work done in Survivors of the Void and the base game. In pursuit of this, much of the content contained within Seekers of the Storm can be found while traversing what we’re calling the Path of the Colossus. Survivors that are intrepid enough to take on this challenge will need to uncover how to start down this path.

On TOOOP of the new DLC2 content, we’ve rolled out some bug fixes and added a handful of quality-of-life features aimed at improving the overall experience and making the game a bit more accessible. More details on those at the bottom!

Without further ado, here are the patch notes for Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of the Storm!
