A sequel, Risk of Rain 2, was released in August 2020, while a remastered version of the game is scheduled for a 2023 release on Windows and Nintendo Switch under the title Risk of Rain Returns. The game supports up to ten cooperative players in online play and up to two players in local play. The game features a difficulty scale that increases with time, requiring the player to choose between spending time building experience and completing levels quickly before the monsters become more difficult.

In Risk of Rain, players control the survivor of a space freighter crash on a strange planet. Ports for OS X and Linux versions were released a year later, with consoles versions being released in the later half of the 2010s. The game, initially made by a two-student team from the University of Washington using the GameMaker engine, was funded through Kickstarter before being released on Microsoft Windows in November 2013. Risk of Rain is a 2013 platform game developed by Hopoo Games and published by Chucklefish.
