Risk of Rain Anniversary update for Switch
According to the official Risk of Rain Twitter account, the update for Switch will be the same content-wise as on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This means a slew of changes, slight tweaks and bonus content. The additions will come in the form of Bandit, who underwent some refits to make him more suited for the sequel.
Bandit and a new coat of paint aside, Risk of Rain 2 will, starting tomorrow, feature a new boss, character and stage updates, new skill variants (equip three different skills), stackable items and the mentioned quality of life improvements: AI, new challenges, performance optimisations and more.
