Risk of Rain 2 Now Available via Early Access

Gearbox Publishing and developer Hopoo Games has released Risk of Rain 2 for PC.

The multiplayer roguelike game is now available for Windows PC via Steam Early Access, for $19.99. Featured above, you can view a new trailer for the game.

Players who buy the game before March 20th at 12 PM Pacific / 3 PM Eastern will get an extra copy of the game to give to someone special.


The game will remain in Early Access for roughly a year before its full release. The full release of the game will include more content like 10 more characters, 10 more stages, 12 more bosses, and over 100 items, as well as a “true” ending and boss fight, and more.

Here’s a rundown on the game:


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.

Key Features:

  • Play four player co-op seamlessly through Steam — no more port forwarding.
  • Unlock over 75 items over time, keeping each run fresh and full of new challenges.
  • Play and unlock new and returning survivors, each with their own abilities to master.
  • Theorycraft and exploit endless item and character combos.
  • Encounter challenging monsters and enormous bosses.
  • Explore massive, handcrafted 3D levels.
  • Discover lore through the collection of Monster, Item, and Environment Logs.
  • Challenge your friends—and the world—in all-new Prismatic Trials, a unique seeded run where everyone can race up a global leaderboard.
