Community Bulletin #10



[h2]Watch out Generals!
The monsters are out![/h2]

It's finally that spooky season,
So it's time to get scary with another community bulletin. Did you know that Trick-or-treating has been around for hundreds of years?
The tradition of wandering the streets and asking strangers for hand-outs dates all the way back to the Middle Ages. Back then it was known as “mumming”, and people would dress as demons and ghosts, then go knock on doors and perform a song or a dance in exchange for food or drink!





It has been a busy month over here at RISK central.

In our Q&A session, we mentioned that we have been working on a roadmap for RISK.
Our roadmap for 2022 and 2023 will give you an idea of what to expect!

These are our plans for the next 6-9 months but we're also looking at community feedback and requests and planning some exciting new game play options for the later half of 2023.



It's only a couple more weeks until the 3.8 update comes out and we are so excited to share it with you all.

We have made some shiny new changes to our Home and Setting screens to make it easier for users to navigate, create and join games. Here is a sneak peek video.
(Just remember this is all subject to change)

We've also made changes to our Ranking system so next week, one of the Devs working directly on the upcoming changes to the Ranked system will be available to answer your questions live.

The Q&A will be held for an hour on the:

  • RISK Discord
  • 19th of October
  • 9 AM AEST to 10 AM AEST
  • You can access it in the Forum channel under the tag “dev QnA”


Please remember that this is for questions relating to the upcoming updates to Ranked for the 3.8 update.

If you have any other questions, we will hold more Q&As at a future date.



Do you want to be highlighted on the home screen of RISK Global domination?

We are looking for new streamers to showcase in the game. Your streams will be available for players to watch from our home screen.

Dice Concept by Kali in RISK Discord

“Just your average garden variety flowers, there's definitely nothing wrong with them. They do tend to stare a lot though…”

So Happy birthday to all of you September babies!

I hope you are hungry because we have some spoilers for you! We’ve been working with multiple artists to bring you some exciting new Dice concepts.

Delicious sushi rolled into dice-sized pieces.

Don’t tell pizza jokes; they are too cheesy.

RISK Community Bulletin #8

GOOD MORROW RISK GENERALS!


Can you believe it's already past mid-year!

It's Winter Downunder so most of us have been working wrapped in blankets or close to our heaters.

Did you know that it is a tradition for some families in Australia to have a Christmas in July or Midwinter Christmas events?

We do this in order to give Christmas a winter feel ❄️ as December is Summer in Australia.



We have a LOT of changes planned for the spoooooky season (V 3.8)
Our main focus for this update are improvements requested by the community, as well as making some big changes to the Premium & Free experience.


Our team is implementing a complete overhaul of the ranking system (no small feat!) - as this has been something we've been wanting to introduce for a long time. As part of these changes, we've taken into account feedback and insights from the community.


A big step is for us to transition the following to be Premium-exclusive for hosting players.
- Portals (brand new feature!)
- Zombies game mode
- Blizzards
- Fog of War

You will still be able to join games with these features without Premium, however you will not be able to create a game with them without supporting us.


Here's a little sneak peek at Portals!





Congratulations to our Winners of this Seasons Free For All tournament!!!


🏆 1st place - Pete
🏆 2nd place - UnderTheGun
🏆 3rd place - KingJohn2554

It was a super close battle and everyone deserves to be proud of themselves! 2nd and 3rd placements were determined by bounties earned during the finals and then overall points and bounties earned during the previous rounds. Thank you all for competing!
Hope to see you next season!



When it comes to RISK Strategy we wanted to showcase Risk4Ever over on Youtube who has been making Strategy highlight videos for a while now.

Battle Points Are Here!

🏆Battle Points🏆


The more you play, the more rewards you get!

They will become part of the day-to-day RISK player experience, a way for players to gain experience, Level up, and unlock rewards.

All players have access to battle points at no cost!




New Season



From the 20th of June, a new season of RISK battles begins, and our global leaderboards will be reset.


Your rank points will not be changed, but you'll temporarily see '0' for your profile rank (this is your position on the Global Seasonal leaderboard). Just complete one ranked Global Domination game in this new season to see your updated profile rank. You'll be placed back on the leaderboard as soon as that game is finished by all players.


Check out the official RISK Global Leaderboards here https://www.hasbrorisk.com/en/

[h2]Hot Fix[/h2]

  • Battle Points appearing as 2000 BP cap per day over the last two days,
    Will be changing this back to the correct 1250 BP per day,
    All rewards that have been activated from this error will remain.
    Levels and points will stay the same.




Best of luck to you all!
