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

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.

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!







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!

[h2]Attention RISK Generals! [/h2]
Welcome to RISK v3.7, One of our biggest updates for 2022 so far!
We are introducing the all new battle points system, new replacement maps, dice, troops and new frames.



What are Battle Points?
Starting on the 20th of June along with the new season, Battle Points will become part of the day to day player experience, a way for players to gain experience, Level up and unlock rewards. All players have access to battle points at no cost.

Rewards
Not to fear! It is only just the beginning. These will not be the only rewards for battle points. Over time there will be more rewards as we expand the system.



L-R

• Vintage Green Dice - They will be Green with envy
