Hey!

Today is the friggin day! Risk of Rain 2 launches on Steam, in Early Access right now!

For those of you that are new here, the team and I have been working on Risk of Rain 2 for almost 3 years. It’s a co-op, roguelike, 3rd-person action game packed with content.

As a big “Thank you” to all our fan, we are running a big “Buy One Get One Free” sale for the first 48 hours on Steam. Buying a copy grants another coupon for a free copy to give to a friend - we wanted to make sure as many people as possible could get into the game and play with their! This offer expires on March 30th at 12PM PST.  

Also as many of you have (now) learned, we have partnered up with Gearbox Publishing to make RoR2 the biggest and best version of Risk of Rain possible. Gearbox has contributed greatly to helping market the game, designing community outreach, and guaraneeting that the game is as stable as possible on launch. We’re really excited with this partnership and hope you are too! For those concerned, don’t worry: RoR2 is entirely created, designed, and written by the Hopoo Team. You will get an authentic Risk of Rain experience.

We are planning on doing a lot of community engagement through our Official Discord. Join us and be up-to-date on the lastest patches, news, content adds, and chat with other players and developers. This Discord will act as our main hub for communicating with players as well as gathering feedback during Early Access. Come join us HERE!

If Discord isn’t your thing feel free to follow Risk of Rain 2 on our Twitter or Facebook to stay up-to-date on the game.

Last but not least, we wanted to highlight our Composer Chris Christodoulou for all of his amazing work on the OSTs for Risk of Rain, DEADBOLT, and now Risk of Rain 2. Check out his bandcamp page right HERE for the Early Access version of the OST, available now!

Again, thank you to all of the fans, players, friends, and family who have made our dreams possible over the last few years! We couldn’t have gotten this far without you - and this is just the beginning!

See you on the planet.
