The update is here and it’s much more interesting than I suspected it would be thanks to the addition of couple of new Artifacts on top of the new Dead Cells themed alt skin.

First though, there’s new map, Verdant Falls. According to the presser it’s “a biodiverse area of Petrichor V full of lush vegetation, billowing waterfalls, and galactic wreckage.”

The new Artifact of Devotion also sounds like a lot of fun. It replaces drones with eggs and works by players “surrendering an item, releasing a Lemurian to fight alongside them. The sacrificed items imbue their effects on the Lemurians, who grow and evolve as they feast on your foes!”

The other new item, the so-called Artifact of Delusion, “closes all chests after a teleporter event, allowing them to be later re-opened by players. But there’s a twist: you have to correctly identify which item previously came out of the chest. Guess correctly, and new riches are yours! Guess wrong, and you’ll lose the item.”

Original: The Prisoner from Dead Cells is heading to Risk of Rain 2 in a new DLC crossover, as was just announced during The Triple-i Initiative.

The iconic character from Dead Cells is heading to ROR2 as a free alt skin for an existing character, the Mercenary. Take a looksy:

On top of that, the new Devotion update was on show. Another free update, this one will had a new map and two new artifacts to the game.

If Risk of Rain 2 is your jam, then there are some Seekers of the Storm trailers for you via this link if you want to see what else is coming to the game.
