Gearbox's first Risk of Rain 2 expansion gets hammered on Steam as developer admits the PC version 'is in a really bad place'




Gearbox's acquisition of Risk of Rain in 2022 did not inspire widespread celebration among fans, many of whom worried the studio would find some way to screw it up. And, well, here we are: The Risk of Rain 2 expansion Seekers of the Storm, the first made by Gearbox, is out, and it's a train wreck...

Seekers of the Storm Steam Regional Pricing Update

We've worked with our partners at Steam to adjust the pricing of Seekers of the Storm in select markets. The new pricing more closely matches prices from Survivors of the Void. This change has begun and will continue to take effect over the next few hours. Those who have already purchased the content should request a refund through Steam and repurchase at the updated price once they see it has been adjusted.

New Risk of Rain 2 DLC comes with a big 67% discount

Dead Cells is done with updates, Hades 2 is in the midst of Steam Early Access, and Slay the Spire 2 is a way off. Some of the biggest roguelikes are still cooking, so what do you play right now if you're as hungry as I am? Well, the Risk of Rain 2 Seekers of the Storm DLC just dropped, giving you a lot more of everything that the stellar shooter has to offer.

Hey Folks!

Building an expansion that we think you will all love has been the main goal of our team for a long time now. Having the opportunity to see everyone finally experience everything we’ve been working on is a dream come true. We hope you all enjoy it as much as we loved getting to make it.

This expansion brings a LOT of content! We wanted to ensure that the new content adds to the experience without overshadowing the incredible work done in Survivors of the Void and the base game. In pursuit of this, much of the content contained within Seekers of the Storm can be found while traversing what we’re calling the Path of the Colossus. Survivors that are intrepid enough to take on this challenge will need to uncover how to start down this path.

On TOOOP of the new DLC2 content, we’ve rolled out some bug fixes and added a handful of quality-of-life features aimed at improving the overall experience and making the game a bit more accessible. More details on those at the bottom!

Without further ado, here are the patch notes for Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of the Storm!
