Risk of Rain Returns launches November 8

Battle royale behemoth PUBG: Battlegrounds made more money than any other game on Steam last week.

While Hopoo Games’ Risk of Rain Returns is a faithful remaster of the original, it offers new content and options for those who enjoyed Risk of Rain 2. Unfortunately, there’s no horizontal aiming, so it’s difficult to precisely hit shots.

Hopoo Games’ Risk of Rain Returns, a remaster of its 2013 roguelike side-scroller, has received its first patch. While patch 1.0.2 isn’t too big, it does offer several necessary fixes, like changing the stage variants in Ancientvalley 2, Desolate Forest 3 and 5, and more to fix “abnormalities.”

Risk of Rain Returns has no shortage of awesome characters that players will want to chase after and unlock as soon as possible, with 15 of them available in total. Now Reddit user m0lmy has posted their experience with unlocking the strange Robomando, a secret 16th playable character.

The global version of collection RPG Black Clover M: Rise of the Wizard King will launch for iOS via App Store and Android via Google Play on November 30, publisher Garena announced. Over five million users have already pre-registered.

When you unlock the Providence Trials in Risk of Rain Returns, these are some of the toughest challenges you can undergo when playing specific classes. Scavenger Hunt is one of the tougher ones, and you’ll be playing as the Enforcer.

The original Risk Of Rain was a chaotic, 2D sidescroller about turning a tiny character into a wandering projectile swarm. It's sequel mimicked the systems but switched from pixel art to 3D - and in my eyes lost a little of its readability in the process.

There are several items and rewards you can earn as you make your way through Risk of Rain Returns. These items become available and unlock as you work through the game, such as the Mu Construct, which requires you to complete the Pre Alpha Challenge.

Out of nowhere, Valve has announced the Steam Deck OLED. It’s out on November 16th and offers a 7.4 inch OLED screen, improved battery life and a lighter design. Check out the announcement trailer.

You can take Hopoo Games out of Risk of Rain, as evidenced by the upcoming Seekers of the Storm DLC for Risk of Rain 2, developed by Gearbox. However, you can’t remove Risk of Rain from the developer, whose remaster of the first title is out now. Check out the launch trailer for Risk of Rain Returns below.

Side-scrolling shoot ’em up game Valfaris: Mecha Therion will launch for PC via Steam and GOG on November 21, followed by PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2024, developer Steel Mantis and publisher Big Sugar announced.

After launching first on PC in early access, Studio Wildcard’s Ark: Survival Ascended will release on November 14th for Xbox Series X/S. It’s launch with cross-platform play and new servers with Xbox-only servers also included.
