After Gearbox's disastrous Risk of Rain 2 DLC launch, the roguelike's original devs announce their move to Valve: "We love making games – and will continue to do so, for years to come"

It's not exactly a great time for roguelike third-person shooter Risk of Rain 2, amid a chaotic launch for Gearbox's new Seekers of the Storm DLC that's brought significant issues to the entire game. Amid this, however, it's been announced that many of its original developers have moved to Valve. 

The original studio, Hopoo Games, sold the rights to Risk of Rain to Borderlands studio Gearbox in 2022, so Hopoo's devs haven't been involved with the roguelike for a while now. Now though, the studio's co-founders – Duncan Drummond and Paul Morse – as well as "many other talented members," have moved on to completely new horizons.
