I don’t think it’s unfair to say that Seekers of the Storm, the newest expansion for Risk of Rain 2, got off to a rocky start when it launched earlier this year. (You’ll find a quick overview of what happened here.)
Now the folks at Gearbox have had time to gather themselves, they’ve come up with a plan to turn around the fortunes of the expansion. This is outlined in the trailer below, but in short and to save you the click, the plan is to push out three big balance updates in the months to come, with each one having a specific focus:
- Phase 1: Items & Elites
- Phase 2: The False Son Boss Fight
- Phase 3: Survivors
The graphic below gives a sprinkle of additional detail, but I’d suggest heading over to Steam if you want to dig into the roadmap post, which goes into a lot of detail as Gearbox continues to try and repair the damage done by undercooked launch of Seekers of the Storm.
If you want more context and prefer your content in video form, there’s the below trailer that echoes what is shared on Steam. It was also over on Steam that Gearbox detailed the contents of the newest update to the game.
This new update seems more general than any of those outlined in the three point plan, with the focus on “tackling some of the larger reported issues like the overabundance of elites”. It’s available to download on PC, PS, and Xbox now, and it’s “coming soon” to Switch.
