While we were developing Risk of Rain, we never expected our game to gain a dedicated following. We were just two college students working out of our dorms in our free time, doing something we loved – making and playing games!
Three years later, and has partnered up to send Risk of Rain to PlayStation 4 and PS Vita! While PC gamers might be familiar with Risk of Rain, we have a few new features to the game’s online system – exclusive to PS owners.
Thanks to PlayStation Network, we now have automatic matchmaking integrated into Risk of Rain! With just one press of a button you’ll be automatically placed into a lobby with up to three other players around the world – no IP address or port forwarding required, just online fun.
But what would Risk of Rain be without playing with friends? Now you can play on the couch, and on the internet – all at once! While we still have the four-player local co-op available in Risk of Rain, you can now play online lobbies while sharing a machine with your friend – up to two per machine. Wanna just play online instead? You can also invite your friends into your lobby through the PlayStation Network’s “Invite” feature to get all your game buddies into one lobby.
“But Duncan, what if my friend is on PS Vita and I’m on PS4?” No worries – we know that people prefer playing on their own platform, so now we also have cross-platform online support between PS Vita and PS4. That means that both a player sitting on the couch on their PS4 and a player on the bus playing on their PS Vita can both enjoy Risk of Rain chaos – together.
These changes are all aimed at letting Risk of Rain do what it’s best at – fun, but brutally hard time with friends. With automatic matchmaking, local-coop integration with online lobbies, and cross-platform support, we’re hoping that the online experience is the best possible for players. And for all our new Sony fans – thank you so much for your support, and prepare to die. A lot.
See you on the planet.
