Festival of Gup: The Livestream Lowdown
Mark those calendars, gamers! Gearbox is goin’ full send with “The Festival of Gup,” a livestream event set to pop off on November 8, 2023. This isn’t just another livestream; it’s a 10-year anniversary bash for the Risk of Rain franchise. You’ll catch it all on Gearbox’s official Twitch channel, starting 10:30 am PT. Trust, this is the Risk of Rain news drop you’ve been waitin’ for.
Double the Risk, Double the Rain
The hype doesn’t end with just a livestream; Gearbox is droppin’ two titles on the very same day. First up, we got Risk of Rain Returns, a total revamp of the first game, decked out with new features and eye-candy visuals. Plus, the tunes are gonna be fire, thanks to composer Chris Christodoulou.
Second, console warriors, get ready for Risk of Rain 2: Survivors of the Void. This DLC is hittin’ Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, and it’s packin’ more than just a punch. New Survivors, game modes, and a whole bunch of other goodies are in the mix.
Meet the New Recruit: Pilot
Gearbox ain’t holdin’ back on introducin’ fresh blood to the Risk of Rain Returns roster. Say hello to Pilot—a Survivor with mad mobility and a knack for adaptin’ to any sitch. This dude’s got a whole array of abilities, but the real show-stopper is his signature move, Clusterfire. It’s a triple burst shot designed to either mow down groups of foes or put the final nail in their coffin. And get this, you’ll get to explore all of Pilot’s skills come November 8.
Survivors of the Void: What’s in the Box?
For those of you lookin’ forward to the “Risk of Rain 2: Survivors of the Void” DLC, let’s talk deets. We’re talkin’ two new Survivors—Railgunner and Void Fiend—along with the Simulacrum game mode and some sick new environments and items. Gearbox is also levelin’ up the core game, with improvements set to make bug fixes quicker and enhance overall performance.
So, mark that date and prep for the drop, ’cause November 8 is about to be a day to remember in the Risk of Rain universe. No cap.
