In , the official Risk of Rain account showcased a new character, the Pilot, designed to be a crowd-control prioritized combatant. Armed with a standard Clusterfi🌜re attack and a secondary a⛄ttack called Target Acquired, players can make quick work of any enemies that cross their path.

But, they also look to be rather agile, which lets them put space between t🌠hemselves and enemies. The Pilot also has a utility ꦕability called Rapid Deployment, which makes good use of their parachute. 

Risk of Rain Returns is introducing The Pilot, in addition to another new survivor, The Drifter. The Drifter looks to be more of an up-close-and-personal melee fighter, using their sleeping bag and other everyꦯday items as instruments of blun🍬t force trauma.

In addition to Risk of Rain Returns’ release date, developer Hopoo Games also announced a celebration of the series’ community called The Festival of Gup, also set to occur live on on November 8 at 10:30 a.m. PST / 12:30 p.m. CST / 1:30 ℱp.m. EST. 

Risk of Rain Returns will be availabl🤪e for PC and Nintendo Switch on November 8.
