Risk Of Rain Returns “completely overhauls the original and introduces a ton of new content”, according to Hopooin a Steam post about the announcement. It moves the game to a new codebase to enable previously impossible features, and brings new survivors, abilities, items, enemies, stage variants, and revamped multiplayer. The original Risk Of Rain was playable co-operatively but Returns is apparently “fully integrated into Steam”, meaning “no more messing with router settings.”
I enjoyed Risk Of Rain 2 a fair bit, but I didn’t love its jump to 3D. It’s often a game about soaking up damage and fighting back with auto-aiming auto-attacks, so a third dimension sometimes felt like a needless complication to the fun of growing in power. I’m happy Returns returns to 2D.
Risk Of Rain Returns is aiming to release sometime in 2023. For now, you’ll findmore screenshots over on Steam.
