ATTENTION RISK GENERALS!

Here’s a little November update, as a treat. Now that we’re nearing the end of the year you’re probably wondering what we’re working on. Well what I can tell you is we do have a couple of updates before the year is over and I come bearing sneak peeks!



RISK Generals today we’ve got some previews as to what’s coming for our 3.4 update later on in the month. We’ll be focusing a lot more on UX/UI upgrades to improve first time user experiences. But don’t fret we have a lot more customisations due before the year is out!


No more confusing the NEXT and SKIP button, we’ve changed the phase indicator button to tell it like it is



Need help forming a strategy? We have a new AI advisor for Single Player games that are powered by our AI characters, giving contextual advice based on the phase you are currently in.



There are so much more but they’ll be in the release notes later in the month!





Too Soon? Chill out! At least we’re waiting til December's release!

Here’s some non-festive content that’s also coming in 3.5

(due v3.5)

Heh… Zomb-munity Bulletin. Get it? Zombie-community? Spooky Season? *ahem* I’ll stop now.

Attention RISK Generals!

To start this bulletin we’d like to thank our community this month for being so quick and diligent in reporting the issues that came with the 3.3 update. As a result we were able to bring out the 3.3.1 hotfix within the week.

Thanks again RISK community, RISK: Global Domination would not be what it is without you.



Welcome to RISK v3.3, we have spooky dice, a new map, and plenty of QoL updates.

But that’s old news now! We have some new things to share about 3.4 coming to RISK in November. Look with your elven eyes, pack your second breakfast (and elevenses!) and let’s go on an adventure as one does not simply look at this release.

How it started vs How it's going



Careful, this first concept’s a bit bitey.




Look at this avatar; he was just mage for RISK don’t ya think?
