Risk of Rain 2's version 1.0 gets a proper August release date on Steam

After close to 18 months in early access development, Hopoo Games' co-operative rogue-like shooter sequel Risk of Rain 2 will be getting its full version 1.0 Steam release on 11th August.

Risk of Rain 2 entered Steam early access back in March last year (it's since made its way to Xbox One, PS4, and Switch), and was initially expected to get its full launch this spring. However, Hopoo made the decision to delay release by several months - the first deviation from its roadmap since early access began - after the community helped it flag "quite a few areas of improvement we could work on".

It would appear Hopoo is now satisfied with Risk of Rain 2's progress, and August's version 1.0 update will bring a heap of additional content for launch day, including story cutscenes, a new survivor known as The Captain, the final stage and its boss, a new server browser, and more.
