This is definitely a volatile time for Risk of Rain lovers. The new DLC for Risk of Rain 2, which represents the first launch in the series since it was taken over by Gearbox, has been roundly criticized. Now, the founders of Hopoo, the studio behind the first Risk of Rain and the base game and first DLC for RoR 2, have announced that they are shuttering the studio, canceling what would have been Hopoo's next game, and joining Valve, which has just launched Deadlock and is currently rumored, more strongly than usual, to be working on Half-Life 3. Both of the Hopoo founders confirm they are joining Valve to work in game development, so perhaps something new and exciting is afoot.
