Greeting generals. Here's a little Viking's pun for you.

What's a Viking's favorite music?

Ragnarock (Okay I might have gotten that from a list of Viking Puns online but I wanted to set the mood).

Anyways...

We have some new RISK troops on the way!

We're currently exploring the Viking theme but we need YOUR help!

Pick a number to help us decide which Viking troop we add into RISK!



Thanks generals!

Greetings generals!

We are almost finished with May however zombies will keep searching for brains!

Zombie Awareness Month is celebrated every May to raise awareness about the possibility of a zombie apocalypse! Of course the chances of a zombie apocalypse are very unlikely but it’s still a lot of fun to join the festivities!

As you may know, zombies are a big part of RISK.

We wanted to conclude this month with not one but two spooktacular announcements!

Zombie Map Pack Discount:
The Zombie map pack will be 50% off for the day!



Premium Discount:
We’re offering a massive 50% off our premium! Get premium now to unlock our Zombie apocalypse mode and test your defences. Maybe you can even play our Zombie apocalypse mode on the Zombie map pack!

Attention generals!

This troop has been Fighting for RISK generals since the days of Sparta!



Head into the shop to grab this Legendary troop today!

The number of online multiplayer games available is now shown on the home screen and the game type selection screen. Players can now see how many games they can join without having to enter the lobby selection screen.



The Battle button on the home screen has also been simplified.

• Performance and memory improvements on mobile devices
  
• Ranked carousel on the home screen now displays the player’s higher rank first

• Lobby UI fixes
  
• Fixed map filter options in the game filter’s screen only showing map packs that are owned as DLC, not ones that were purchased with gems.

Greetings Generals!
It’s time to reveal RISK’s most popular customizations of April 2023!

We will be showing:

1. Your 5 favorite Maps (based on specific maps)
   
2. Your 5 favorite Avatars
   
3. Your 5 favorite Troops
   
4. Your 10 favorite Dice

Maps:
For the first time, we are including the top 5 most popular maps in our monthly customizations recap. Europe Advanced takes the top spot for April 2023!

It seems generals enjoy an advanced battlefield!



Avatars:
Here are your favorite avatars in April!
Arch Wizard Trigon
Sgt. Swivels
Xharles The 4th
Commander Seagrog
Major Spark

At the top spot for the third month in a row is our very own Arch Wizard Trigon. Last month, Capt. Mac Erana replaced Major Spark as our 5th most popular general. This month she’s back, just as popular as ever!

We’re seeing a lot of fantasy and sci-fi characteristics in these popular avatars!



Troops:
Ready up your army, here are the top 5 troops of April.
Business Yeti
Dino - Cavalry
Roman Centurion
Cix-X
Elf Paladin

Our top 5 troops are the exact same as last month! Even the order is the same!



What’s your go to RISK troop?

Dice:
These are the top 10 most popular dice of April.

Although most of the top 10 changed from last month, the Elven Relic and Ramen are still respectively sitting at #1 and #2!

If there’s anything I can take from this, it’s that the RISK community loves their Elven artifacts (and let’s not forget ramen! Same though haha).



What’s your favorite RISK customization? Did it make the top list? Let us know down below!

Want to see a new RISK customization that’s not in the game? Let me know so I can pass it onto the team!
