Last September, Switch owners were treated to a pleasant surprise when Hopoo Games' acclaimed action-platformer Risk of Rain suddenly appeared on the Switch eShop. Now, it seems like Nintendo's hybrid platform could be receiving the 3D sequel in the near future.
Risk of Rain 2 for Switch has been recently rated by the USK – Germany's classification board. This follows on from rumours at the end of March, when dataminers found multiple file names referencing the Switch in the PC version of the game. This included a mention of handheld mode, Joy-Cons and even Pro Controller support. All we need now is an actual confirmation. In the meantime, take a look at the rating below:
Here's some information about the sequel as well as some screenshots, courtesy of the Steam page:
The classic multiplayer roguelike, Risk of Rain, returns with an extra dimension and more challenging action. No run will ever be the same with randomized stages, enemies, bosses, and items. Play solo, or team up with up to four friends to fight your way through hordes of monsters, unlock new loot, and find a way to escape the planet.
If you would like to try out the original game, you can purchase it from the eShop right now for $9.99 / £8.99.

Ohhh, loolomg forward to this on Switch. What they have so far on PC is fun.
Ah yes, I cannot wait to 3D print 50 soldier's syringes on the toilet.
Risk of Rain 2 is a phenomenal game, and it's still in Early Access! I think PC will still be the superior way to play the game, but Switch would be the second best way due to gyro controls (hopefully). This game will be worth the $20+ bucks (the devs said they will increase the price when 1.0 launches), and hell it's already worth 20-30 bucks due to how good the gameplay loop is!
I wonder how framerate would hold-up by endgame though. Even on a beast of a PC with a GTX 1080ti and a i7 8770k, I can go from a rock solid ~120fps to sometimes dipping below 30fps when things get SUPER insane. Granted I am also playing on max settings, but still.
@EvilLucario Engineers and mushrooms have never before been such a beautiful match.
@Kalmaro I run Mercenary and Mul-T right now. I hear how broken Engineers + Fungus is though.
@EvilLucario It's almost too good. It's my favorite one to pick, especially as my aim isn't awesome.
Risk Of Rain didn't do much for me, but folks have gushed about the sequel. Might give it a chance if the price is right.
Fantastic! This game is so good on PC!
Oh! I missed this article!
I got this on Steam and it's great! I prefer this new sequel over the first game; though I wish there was more variety in the levels, but it's still a great game.
