'Risk of Rain 2' Gets Localized In 10 New Languages

Risk of Rain 2 brings 3D graphics and third-person shooter mechanics to the franchise while maintaining that classic co-op roguelike gameplay fans love from the original.

The classic multiplayer roguelike, Risk of Rain, returns with an extra dimension and more challenging action. No run will ever be the same with randomized stages, enemies, bosses, and items. Play solo, or team up with up to four friends to fight your way through hordes of monsters, unlock new loot, and find a way to escape the planet.

With each run, you'll learn the patterns of your foes, and even the longest odds can be overcome with enough skill. A unique scaling system means both you and your foes limitlessly increase in power over the course of a game--what once was a bossfight will in time become a common enemy.

Myriad survivors, items, enemies, and bosses return to Risk 2, and many new ones are joining the fight. Brand new survivors like the Artificer and MUL-T debut alongside classic survivors such as the Engineer, Huntress, and--of course--the Commando. With over 75 items to unlock and exploit, each run will keep you cleverly strategizing your way out of sticky situations.

Hopoo Games and Gearbox Publishing announced that Risk of Rain 2 is now localized in 10 additional languages to bring the roguelike chaos closer to home for players around the world.

The new languages include Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. Risk of Rain 2 has sold well over one million units since its early access launch in March including significant support from international fans.

“We’ve been lucky enough to have the support of fans from all over the world for the Risk of Rain series,” said Paul Morse of Hopoo Games. “It has always been our goal to include more languages and be able to welcome players from all corners of the globe to our community.”
