The writer would be the steward of it transferring ahead

The Danger of Rain sequence is underneath new possession. As a part of the monetary replace from Embracer Group this week, Gearbox introduced they’d acquired the IP for Danger of Rain and its sequel Danger of Rain 2.

Developer Hopoo Video games, which made each Danger of Rain and its sequel, shared the information. Their statement describes it as “some good news for any Danger of Rain followers.”

And to be clear, whereas Gearbox did buy the IP, the writer didn’t buy Hopoo Video games. So no, this doesn’t imply the Danger of Rain devs have formally joined the more and more large variety of studios underneath Embracer Group.

It does, nonetheless, go away Danger of Rain 2 in an odd place. In Gearbox’s assertion, the writer says it’s working exhausting on bringing the Survivors of the Void DLC to consoles. There’s additionally a “very particular ardour venture” that Gearbox and Hopoo are engaged on collectively, to be shared quickly.

When it rains, it pours

Hopefully, this lets Danger of Rain 2 transfer into steady arms whereas Hopoo chases one thing new. That looks as if a best-case situation. And finally, I’m glad Hopoo Video games has an opportunity to work on a ardour venture, too.

Each Danger of Rain video games are amongst my favourite rogue-style video games, and Danger of Rain 2 particularly actually impressed me with the way it moved the unique’s motion into the 3D area. They’re glorious video games. Followers appear a bit nervous about what this implies for the longer term, and I don’t blame them. However both manner, we’ve nonetheless obtained the traditional Danger of Rain 2 to fall again on.
