COMING SOON: MISSIONS SYSTEM

[p]A new Missions system is on the way.[/p][p]Releasing as part of our major 4.0 update later this year, the Missions system is designed to be an evergreen source of rewards while encouraging players to explore different modes and mechanics.[/p][p]Missions will refresh daily, vary in difficulty, and contribute toward a larger weekly challenge.
[/p][p][/p][p]A few notes on the image above:[/p]
  1. [p]The mission text shown is placeholder content and not final. In principle, missions are designed to encourage online play and experimentation with different modes and play styles.[/p]
  2. [p]Reward types and quantities are still being finalized. The gem rewards shown in the image are placeholder examples only.[/p]
  3. [p]The “Mystery Reward”… that one is real — but for now we’ll leave that as 🤫[/p]
[p][/p][p]We’ll share more details about the Missions system as we get closer to the 4.0 release.[/p][p][/p][p]SMG Studio: Team Risk.[/p][p][/p]

Coming Soon: Lobby and Map Select Overhaul

[p]The topic of lobby and ready up comes up a lot, so we wanted to share a first look at the UX and UI overhaul coming to RISK in 2026.[/p][p][/p][p]You asked, we listened—READY UP is moving to the lobby:[/p][p][/p][p]Lobby: chat[/p][p][/p][p]Lobby: strategize while waiting with map preview, pan + zoom[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Lobby: check out map info[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Lobby: Detailed game settings[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Advanced settings: includes a convenient reset button [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Select a Map screen[/p][p]No more browsing maps/games one at a time. You can view as rows or grid, adjust thumbnail sizes, dynamic filter (doesn't obscure the whole screen anymore). It's much faster, efficient way to browse now. You'll notice there are different icons for humans + bots overlayed on the map thumbnails, so no surprises.[/p][p][/p][p]Example of dynamic filtering UI.[/p][p]*2v2 (team play) will not be available with the release, but is planned for later this year.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]More updates are on the way, stay tuned.[/p][p][/p][p]SMG Studio: Team Risk.[/p]
