Nevertheless, the team is still excited to talk about Risk of Rain: Hostile Worlds during the event and unveil even more tidbits. The community has rightfully been worried after learning about the existence of this project. A mobile gacha entry is not everyone’s cup of tea; the fans are worried whether the IP is going to adopt the controversial practices of other titles in the same genre. The other concerns relate to the Risk of Rain 2.

The players have wondered if the devs are focusing on Risk of Rain 2 alongside this mobile title. However, the team has reassured the community that it will continue to receive support and content for a long time.

The Hostile Worlds team is a new, separate development team focusing solely on that title, while the core Risk of Rain 2 team at Gearbox has been putting the finishing touches on SOTV consoles and working hard on what’s next, which they’re excited to share progress on later this week!”
