When is the release date for Risk of Rain 2: Survivors of the Void?

Satellite transmission imminent.

Like many other things about Risk of Rain 2, information about the beloved roguelike’s first expansion, Survivors of the Void, remains shrouded behind a layer of mystery. Ever since a September 30 edition of their Dev Thoughts series, we’ve known the plan is for the expansion to arrive sometime in the first quarter of 2022. Other than that, we’ve just had to wait until more details were made known. Well, now we have some more details.

After a January 31 stream on the Hopoo Games Twitch channel, we learned that Survivors of the Void will be arriving March 1, along with at least one new character: the Railgunner. There were also a few more clues in the stream, as well as in the original stream announcement.

In a January 26 post on the game’s official Twitter account, a short GIF appeared depicting a space station with its lights flickering on and off. A line of text reading accompanied the brief animation, “Survivor Profile Received – Satellite Transmission Imminent.” A quick look at the expansion’s Steam Store page also shows a full minute-long version of the space station animation, with the flickering coming at uneven intervals. A message, perhaps?
