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.

The table has been set and Chef is back in the kitchen and cooking up chaos as it comes to Risk of Rain 2’s second premium expansion - Seekers of the Storm launching August 27. Seekers of the Storm will be available on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch at the SRP price of $14.99.

Chef makes a triumphant return and is ready to utilize his abilities to dish out the pain:

• Dice - Hurl your cleavers at faraway enemies and call them back to slice and dice with twice the pain. Monsters hit on the return journey will take an additional chunk of damage;
• Sear - brings the burn. Chef cooks monsters for big damage while inflicting burn on all enemies in range;
• Roll - The longer you spin up the more damage Chef will do as it speed ahead on its Roller knocking back and stunning enemies in its path;  
• Glaze - roll along a wave of oil while slowing all enemies in your path. Any enemies impacted will be stunned and take increased damage.
• Chef’s Kiss (passive) - If you hit two or more skills before finishing them off, they’ll turn into a delightful treat. The healing from these can really help you out in a pinch.

Seekers of the Storm, the second expansion for Risk of Rain 2, will feature new Survivors, tons of new items, enemies, stages, and more. 

It will introduce new lore and is packed with new items, and more. It introduces The False Son, a mighty antagonist constructed by the Lemurians in Providence’s image and corrupted by Mithrix’s Beads of Fealty. The expansion also debuts the franchise’s first stage with Day and Night phases, giving players different ways to interact and access to more areas to explore. 

Timed with the release of Seekers of the Storm, Risk of Rain 2 is making its official debut on Xbox One X and PlayStation 5 with a brand-new optimized version of the game. All current Risk of Rain 2 players on Xbox One X and PlayStation 5 will be upgraded for free and all new players can immediately drop in with the new features such as couch co-op splitscreen, 4K resolution (30FPS), and 60FPS at 1440p and 1080p.
