Risk of Rain 2 has been enjoying quiet success on all platforms, but the team at Hopoo Games are not slowing down, revealing more details about the first expansion for the game, coming to PC players in the first quarter of 2022.

Called Survivors of the Void, the expansion will come to PC first and console availability will happen later in the year, but there is no timeline on it yet. For all the details and a look at it in action, check out the dev diary below.

The Void is the home dimension of dark creatures. Their power has grown for countless millennia as their hordes of items, weapons, and powerful beings expanded. Cloaked in the aegis of the Void Dimension, their strength is unchecked. As they grow, they are united through the vision of the Harbinger.

The door to their world has opened and the power of The Void has been unleashed. Empower two new survivors with Void Items and bring the fight to the crabs!

“All of the new content we try to design for RoR2 is intended to be multiplicative of what’s in the game currently - that way there is as much variety as possible each time you play the game,” said Paul Morse and Duncan Drummond, co-founders of Hopoo Games. “The new items and survivors, alongside the new Void Item System, will empower players to take content they chase after in a run, and enhance it - or even change it completely. Players will discover a lot of cool new combinations that weren’t possible prior to the DLC.”

Here is all the content coming in the new expansion:

• Alternate Final Boss & Stage

• 2 New Survivors

• 40 New Items - Including an entirely new item-tier exclusive to the expansion

• New Game Mode – The Simulacrum

• The Simulacrum is a wave-based arena mode set within a Void simulation. It can be played both single and multiplayer and contains any artifacts you’ve unlocked ready for use. It is an endless mode that only concludes with your simulated demise.

• You can see the new mode in action in Dev Thoughts #23.

• 9 New Monsters

• 2 New Bosses

• 2 New Elite Types

• 4 New Stages

• 3 New Interactables (similar to chests, Scrappers, 3D printers and item containers)

• New Music

• Additional fixes, changes, and improvements
