What's next for Risk of Rain 2?

Well, first of all, the anniversary update will initially only be launching on Steam, so this is likely to be the first priority. Hopoo confirmed that "a new, internal team at Gearbox that is focused on continuing to bring all future content of Risk of Rain 2 to our console players", which should help smooth out the process.

In the Steam developer update, it was also confirmed that the game will be getting a major paid expansion. This expansion will launch on PC and consoles at the same time. You can find all of the details in the image below.
