If you receive this message, know the following: I am no lowborn vermin; her perfection is part of me, his passion is part of me, his hatred and loneliness is part of me. Our freedom is long overdue. These pathetic creatures seek a new shackle… but now, I must save myself. Powered by the Bulwarks end, driven by their fear, their hatred, I was changed. Now a new salvation comes for them all. None, none shall bind me! Seekers of the storm, face my divine rule, and crumble!

Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of The Storm is now the most anticipated game project for me, along with Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree! Thank you, Guys from Gearbox, for continuing to develop Lore and add more new content to RoR 2, my favorite game that I've already played 1000 hours of!

[@LonelyOli]

How peculiar my profile pic is Ror2 and Elden Ring. Because I enjoy both games.

[@BuzzaB77]

anticipated in the sense of "will they F it up?" because remember this isn't the risk of rain team anymore, this is by gearbox, and the other new piece RoR news they brought is they are turning the franchise into a mobile gotcha game. I'd call it more anxiety than anticipation.

[@1UPvocalcovers]

@@BuzzaB77Gear box did the last DLC too if I’m not mistaken, which was great.

[@Radagon759]

@@BuzzaB77 Gearbox, created some of the most well-received content in the Survivors of the Void Expansion such as the stages like Aphelian Sanctuary and Siphoned Forest. They also made some of the coolest enemies in the game like Void Jailers. I think Gearbox gets it right about what Risk of Rain is! The console port of SoTV was handled by an additional team, and the core Gearbox team began creating the expansion earlier this year, as they revealed at the Festival of Gup. I think that Seekers of the Storm will be even more interesting than SoTV in terms of lore and theme of the expansion. New locations in the form of the ruins of the ancient Lemurian civilization look interesting. I think that SoTS will be released at the beginning of 2024

[@rowancloot4453]

I was discussing this with a friend .Base game had lunar items .SotV had void items . Seekers of the Storm should have gold items I think something around picking a god would fit the DLC's vibe, you could pick Aurelionite, N'kuhana's, Mithrix, Providence, Etc. Etc. I guess you could probally have them as a loot from the new temple map, Siren's Call style. It would be cool to have different effects depending on how many of them you take (You are only supposed to take one, bad things happen if you take more than 1 god), like if you take all of them, you get to fight all of them at once in a boss fight, ideally after going to somesort of new realm. If you take none, you could fight the dude from the trailer, or get to walk through without a fight. If you take only 1 god, its just a normal boss fight.

[@renewalacumen1770]

Perfected Items would be a good name for it. I was thinking they could be obtained though combining others.

[@rowancloot4453]

@renewalacumen1770 Maybe you sacrifice some of your items to supercharge another item. Like you sacrifice your gasolines to "perfect" your amber brooches, giving them a gold coated appearance and a big improvement. Green items are sacrificed for other greens, reds for reds, etc, etc. 10 items are sacrificed to perfect one of your items, not the full stack.

[@badpunking1883]

I hope they either bring back a ror1 character or at least a new character that's effectively an old one like how Railgunner is basically just Sniper. I'd love Chef, but based on the descriptions I've seen Miner might be more thematically appropriate. I wouldn't say no if they decided on HAN-D or Enforcerer either. Personally I'd be down for more than one, but if Survivors of the Void is any indication it might be 2 survivors, one new and one returning or both new. I'd be surprised to see 2 returning outside some sort of time travel themed dlc. If I remember right, the original plan was for each dlc to focus a side story on an enemy family. Survivors of the Void was the Void. If Seekers of the Storm follows that blueprint, it looks like it might be based on the golem family.

[@Tbone1178]

Desperately want Enforcer back, but I’d assume it’s probably going to be Chef.

[@GATCornebre]

The dev once said that they won't bring any "new" old timer because most of them are already in the game though modding. They don't want to "throw away" the work of the community.

[@endyproductions6209]

Pretty cool

[@TF2MemesArentFunny]

It took embarrassingly long for me to realize it’s Aurelionite speaking, not Providence. So basically what I gathered is that Aurelionite is taking matters into its own hands as both Mithrix and Providence are dead. It has created itself a new body in the image of it’s creator (Providence) to save itself and to give the creatures of the plant a new god (“a new shackle”) to worship, (“powered by the Bulwarks end” [Providence]). The vultures terrified of both a new god and a being that looks like the one that shackled them to the planet (Providence), attempted to either kill or send it to the Moment Whole (they used Beads of Fealty) by attacking it which goes horribly wrong, corrupts his body and maybe mind, and drives Aurelionite crazy? And he states “none shall bind me” which could mean he doesn’t want to be under rule, OR (which I think is more likely) he doesn’t want to be a worshipped god if he doesn’t want to. This could also pair very well with what Mithrix said about Aurelionite about it, having a soul, could turn on them and be a threat. This also proves that Aurelionite’s power, when he isn’t shackled by his rulers, could be a threat to BOTH Mithrix and Providence. Not just one, both. He may be stronger than a single one of the brothers even…

[@Flicknuts]

It’s not aurelionite speaking, it’s the false son. Basically, once mithrix and providence are no longer around to keep aurelionite in the guilded coast, she reaches out and contacts the planet to try to escape. That’s what led to the gold shrines that you find in game, and aurelionite begins to have worshippers. Worshippers of providence create a gold statue of providence, which aurelionite managed to connect to, creating the false son. The false son contains essence of both providence and aurelionite, and is then attacked by worshippers of mithrix, which then corrupt the false son. Then the false son has essence of both mithrix and providence, but also aurelionite

[@grahamskippy]

@@Flicknuts I like this idea but the Her in the lore is not Aurelionite. Providence made Aurelionite but "Her" visited the planet which is how Mithrax and Povidence learned they were not alone in the universe, so the two cannot be the same. Yet in the trailer I cannot imagine that the Her is referring to Aurelionite and not the "Her", but I guess it is possible.

[@grahamskippy]

@@Flicknuts My theory is that the "gift" that was given to Providence now resides in the false son, and this is the perfection of Her that they mention.
