RISK: Global Domination News

No longer will Steam users have to feel inferior to their emote wielding, mobile playing enemies.





Steam users will be able to purchase and use them from the next update.





We have more emotes coming but for now it's just The General.



Look at him all smug!


Shout out to TopSpin for the awesome animations!

The art team went back through all the previous maps to tidy them up.

A cleaner outline, better centering on the map, more spacing on the territory for the pucks (#teampuck!) a nip/puck if you will?

While for some it's minor, we wanted to ensure players on all devices (mobile and PC) get a highly readable map.

Here's a few of the alterations. We'll have them all done for the update at the end of June.




























And don't worry if they look the same, just trust us they are better ;)

🎲 All map DLC for RISK is 33% off for this weekend on Steam! 🎲



We got big maps, small maps, new maps, classic maps, maps of real & fictional places!

[h2]Want a better deal?[/h2]
If you already own some packs you can still "complete the set" with ALL ACCESS on Steam to receive a bigger 55%! discount if you buy everything including Premium into the pack!

[h2]That's almost half price! 🤯[/h2]




[h2]Future Map DLC Upgrades in 2020:[/h2]
Zombie, Pirate and US City packs will all receive free updates to have 4 maps in the pack.
Spain will be added to the Countries & Continents pack in June also to make that 5!
We just got annoyed they didnt have 4 maps and had some good ideas for the extras.

If there's a map you'd love us to work on let us know with a comment. We're working on a Sci-Fi pack now as the next pack (while also doing a lot of upgrades to the UX/UI and new features) so lot's more to come in 2020 and 2021!

Remember all purchases carry across to mobile so you can buy on Steam and use the maps on mobile with your RISK account.

Have a safe weekend while taking over the world!
Team RISK @ SMG

Here's a quick sample of some of the stuff we're working on in M̶A̶Y̶ June! (edit: it's now June) for future updates.


Good news everyone! "THE DICE HATE ME!" will be back.
Second, it will be the first entry in what we call the "community expression", a rotation system in which we will have one chat line, changed weekly, that is elected from community suggestions.

Feel free to post your suggestions below or on Discord. - as long as they are not offensive and family friendly, they have a good chance to become part of the rotation!




We were tagged in a few times on this tweet so decided to follow it up by making the maps. Coming in the June update to the Countries & Continents map pack!

If you'd like a map made by us it's simple. Just get 10k+ likes to a tweet asking for it.
(Map updated to V1.3 after feedback from Spanish players.




This is why most people dont know where NZ is on a map.
Also the RIsk Discord is now responsible for 97.63% of the words RISK Memes.


This problem with NZ and maps got to the point the NZ government made a campaign about it and singled out RISK! I mean this was back when NZ had nothing else to worry about.




Coming as a free update to the US Cities map pack is Las Vegas.
Recreate the historic Battle of the Buffet from the comfort of your computer.


Much more coming
Next week we'll go through some of the new UX for the game which will overhaul the single player campaign, friends list and lots of other elements.



if you want to see more regular news from us smash that like button below :)

I love the smell of updates in the morning!
Version 2.5 is now live and rolling out across the various platforms.

It’s a big one! And just the start for what we have planned for 2020+

Note: You may have trouble inviting friends to games if they are on the old version.



Update: 🍏MAC users can now play on Steam!!! 🍏 (Thanks for patience!)



Countries & Continents map pack DLC
Four new original maps chosen from community requests.

• Africa
  
• Brazil
  
• Russia 2010
  
• Canada eh! (We can finally tell that one guy on Facebook who's been asking everyday for 6 months for it!)
  

New improved UI
Just the start of the improvements of the interface of the game.

New camera and UI settings options
You can now change the size of the territory count puck (we're calling it a puck from now. OK? As sounds better than oblong... even though oblong is a funny sounding word, let us know in the comments that you read this and if you're Team Puck or Team Oblong) and tweakable screen panning.



Ok before we continue you might still be thinking Oblong is the way to go. But when the pucks get too close on the map and I it gets fiddly to click and tap, I call it a Cluster Puck. Cluster Oblong.... nahhhh
Also if players have any reports of Cluster Pucking, please open a support ticket!
So anyway #teamPuck



Stats button: continents, players and cards.

• Your territory card locations. Control these for an extra +2 troop bonus.
  
• Continents and bonuses
  
• Player troop and territory counts
  

For a strategic edge, try playing with both territory card locations and player info turned on.



Updated:
- Tap opponent avatars to view their profile
- Improved AI after taking over for a player Edit: Whoops! hahah I typed this up quickly and honest mistake :)
- Various bug fixes (Big bugs, small bugs, bugs that we found by accident and bugs caused by ourselves when we fixed the other bugs, silly bugs and bugs that we swore we fixed previously)

Coming Soon:
Lots more to come in 2020 and beyond. We’ll also be updating the US Cities, Zombie and Pirate packs to have 4 maps total over the coming months.
