Will There Be Risk of Rain 3?

As Risk of Rain 2 marks its full version 1.0 release on Steam after 18 months in early access, Hopoo Games is already looking towards the future. In a recent blog post, the developer has shared its plans for post-launch content updates, including the possibility of paid expansions.

According to Hopoo, these updates will be comparable in size and scope to multiple previous content updates, with each one likely following a specific theme. This could include expansions centered around Void or Imp characters, for example. The developer aims to release either one or two paid expansions per year, but has yet to provide a timeline or release date.

Hopoo's primary focus for the upcoming update is to complete internal content that was cut from the initial launch and to incorporate feedback from players. This final free content update will be available on all platforms and marks the beginning of a new strategy for sustainable and creative development in Risk of Rain 2.

In the past, certain features, such as the Grandparent boss character and lore entries, had to be cut from the initial release due to time constraints. Hopoo has acknowledged that its early access roadmap helped the game stay on track but resulted in the cutting of 'cool but challenging' ideas.

Risk of Rain 2 has been a massive success for Hopoo Games, with version 1.0 drawing in 70,000 concurrent Steam players. The developer is now focusing on sustaining the game's momentum post-launch, starting with this free content update and potentially moving towards paid expansions in the future.

With its full console release planned for autumn, Risk of Rain 2 fans can look forward to a continued stream of new content and features from Hopoo Games.
