The Simulacrum can also be an easy entry point for RoR2 veterans to introduce the game to friends. "We have been talking through the idea of a wave based gamemode internally for a long time - since our initial Risk of Rain 1 Kickstarter! The Simulacrum is a perfect way for players who have a ton of hours into the main loop of the game to continue to play Risk 2, but with a new and exciting change.
Additional fixes, changes, and improvements. 3 New Interactables (similar to chests, Scrappers, 3D printers and item containers). You can see the new mode in action in Dev Thoughts #23. It can be played both single and multiplayer and contains any artifacts you’ve unlocked ready for use. It is an endless mode that only concludes with your simulated demise. The Simulacrum is a wave-based arena mode set within a Void simulation. 40 New Items - Including an entirely new item-tier exclusive to the expansion. New Content Coming in Survivors of the Void: Players will discover a lot of cool new combinations that weren’t possible prior to the DLC.” “All of the new content we try to design for RoR 2 is intended to be multiplicative of what’s in the game currently - that way there is as much variety as possible each time you play the game,” said Paul Morse and Duncan Drummond, co-founders of Hopoo Games. “The new items and survivors, alongside the new Void Item System, will empower players to take content they chase after in a run, and enhance it - or even change it completely. When we were initially designing the expansion we had a couple different ideas for the type and scope of content, but the one we kept coming back to was to create an expansion with as much raw content for the game as possible."
‘Survivors of the Void’ is the first true expansion we have ever done for a game, so we want to make sure we do it right! We wanted to make sure players are getting more of what they already enjoy about Risk of Rain 2 - cool items and cool survivors - while also adding in some new unique enemy, stage and mode designs. Empower two new survivors with Void Items and bring the fight to the crabs! The door to their world has opened and the power of The Void has been unleashed.
Their power has grown for countless millennia as their hordes of items, weapons, and powerful beings expanded. Cloaked in the aegis of the Void Dimension, their strength is unchecked. As they grow, they are united through the vision of the Harbinger. The Void is the home dimension of dark creatures. Risk of Rain 2 returns with its first ever expansion, Survivors of the Void, coming in Q1 of 2022.
