THQ Nordic and DigixArt, creators of Road 96, are excited to reveal the first Character Profile video for Tides of Tomorrow, introducing players to Nahe, the mysterious Tidewalker who begins every player’s journey through the game’s innovative Online Story-Link system. Online Story-Link answers the question: what if players could leave something behind for other players?

Watch the video here:


This new video provides a first look at how Nahe pulls players into the world, setting the stage for a narrative shaped not only by their own decisions, but by the choices of the Tidewalkers who came before them.

DigixArt will reveal more characters in the coming weeks. In the meantime, fans can experience Online Story-Link first-hand by playing the free demo NOW on Steam!

This bundle features expanded or remastered worlds, mysteries, and puzzles from each game’s original release – perfect for both longtime fans and new explorers alike.

Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy, Sherlock Holmes, and The Talos Principle have a special place in our hearts here at Cyan. We're thrilled that remakes of these puzzle adventure games exist!

Coming from personal experience, remaking games that people are already so fond of is an incredibly hard task. All of the developers in this bundle have put in a massive force of blood, sweat, and tears to make these releases a reality. We hope folks continue to support developers who are in pursuit of keeping classic games alive -- especially games like these that promote critical thinking, exploration, and leaning into narrative adventures that will stick with you for many years to come.

We've improved how controllers work under the hood with a new input overhaul this patch! This allows us to support more controller types with native support just like we already do for Xbox and GameCube controllers. We changed the core of the controller support from RawInput to SDL in order to support more controllers and work toward supporting the Gamecube adapter on Linux machines in the future.

As part of this overhaul we've had to reset button mappings, but your tags, cosmetics, and advanced controller settings are still saved. You can rebind controls in the new controller settings menu or on the character select screen as usual.

Here's more details on the changes:

• A popup now appears on first play so you can see and choose a default control scheme.

• Easily view your controller settings with the new full-screen controller menus.

• Switch Pro and PlayStation now have menu button visuals just like Xbox and GCC.

• Input displays are now available in training mode and automatically visible in replays.

• Mouse buttons are now supported and able to be bound.

• Added new default options for Arrow Keys, WASD, and WASD with Mouse.

• Keyboard players can now adjust angles just like box controllers do with Mod X and Mod Y.

• Keyboard players can now double tap to dash (can also be bound on Dpad).

• The 'alt' key can now be bound.

• Fixed bugs relating to not being able to control certain menus when the game is out of focus. Now all controllers are meant to be usable even if the game is out of focus while keyboard is only usable while the game is in focus. We are still fixing new bugs that come up on this front.

• Fixed bugs relating to live controller swapping where opening certain menus with one input would prevent another input type from using the menu. Most menus are meant to be swappable on the fly now and we are still fixing bugs on this front until it's seamless.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2781620/Risk_of_Rain_2_Alloyed_Collective/

• Added purchasable DLC3 “Alloyed Collective” Content: (more specifics at bottom of the page)

  • 2 New Survivors: Operator (unlocked by default) and Drifter (unlockable)

  • 6 New Enemies.

  • 7 New Drones.

  • 18 New Items.

  • 7 New Stages (plus 1 night/loop variant.)

  • New Interactables.

  • 2 New Teleporter Bosses.

  • New Final Boss.

  • & New Secrets!

A more detailed breakdown of the new content is in the spoiler section of these update notes down below - however we have been careful to hide some very cool stuff during the promotion of this DLC and I highly recommend you just jump in and discover the new content yourself!

These changes are for all versions of Risk of Rain 2 and are not dependent on owning Alloyed Collective!

• Remote Operation Added - When you die in multiplayer you can take control of an Ally Drone until you are revived by stage transition (or by other means such as Seeker’s Meditate.)

• Drone AI has been significantly improved making them focus fire on your target & follow you closely when not attacking. They have also had their base health regen increased & now have damage reduction against Void Fog & Grandparent's AOE attack.

• The TC-280 Prototype, along with the above benefits, has also had its damage, armor & health increased.

• Drones are now 33% cheaper to repair when destroyed.

• Strike Drones (summoned from The Back-up equipment) now scale with level like the other Drones, as well as having their speed and regen increased.

• Survivors of the Void Item “Spare Drone Parts” stats reduced by 50%

Developer Note: Spare Drone Parts (SDP) was initially balanced around the fact that drones used to be pretty ineffective combat allies - even so SDP was considered to be one of the strongest items in the game. With the new drones, increased drone acquisition and new drone AI in DLC3, SDP would essentially play the game for you and almost always guarantee a (pretty boring) win, so we have decided to reduce its effectiveness by 50% - SDP is still an extremely powerful item and we’ll keep a close eye on community feedback and sentiment regarding this change.

• Barrier now decays exponentially rather than flat, meaning the lower the amount of Barrier you have, the slower it will tick down.

Community Manager note: Aegis buff in the big ‘25 wtf??

• Chests and Printers now use their previous ping icon.

• Reduced the spawn cost of Shrine of Shaping to lessen the impact it has on spawning other interactables on the stage.

• Reduced the spawn cost of Geeps and Gips so they should be more common on the stages they naturally spawn on.

• Void Seeds can no longer spawn Voidtouched Solus Monsters.

• CHEF’s returning cleavers no longer have a higher than intended proc rate (but Boosted / Yes Chef Cleavers have retained the higher proc rate.)

• Fixed rare issue where stages could infinitely repeat.

• You will now be able to obtain the Treeborn Colony/Golden Dieback log if you have already obtained the Aphelian Sanctuary log.

• The audio for THE FINAL BOSS’S pizza attack is now properly synced.

• Xi Construct mega laser will now correctly cause an explosion when it ends.

• Re-added dithering to characters when very close to the camera.

• Artificer’s Nano-Spear will no longer push enemies around.

• Mercenary no longer sometimes takes fall damage when using Whirlwind.

• Scrappers now play correct audio (and not only when MUL-T is in the session.)

• Added missing Void Item drop sound.

• Added missing Royal Capacitor and Charged Perforator sound.

• H3AD-5T v2 is no longer able to multiply velocity in unintended ways (such as pressing jump on a Geyser launching you into the sky.)

• Elite On Death effects now occur when Ghosts from Happiest Mask expire.

• War Bond Missiles now “cost” the correct amount of gold.

• Alpha Constructs from Defense Nucleus now use the proper skin.

• Seeker’s Unseen Hand now correctly highlights Void Enemies.

• Removed False Son being in the logbook for non DLC2 owners.

• Returned the Bazaar Diorama to the Logbook.

We have at least one patch planned post-release for DLC3 which will address bugs that we’ve identified after we submitted our release builds, as well as any bugs and balance changes needed following community feedback. 

If you have feedback you’d like considered for this patch, please let us know on our Discord.

• Drifter’s ability “Repossess” can sometimes (however, quite rarely) allow you to push yourself through terrain.

• Various minor issues with Repossess (such as Lt Droneboy’s hat being visible outside of the bag once you grab it) to be addressed. Repossess is probably the most complex ability ever added to the game and as such requires a little post-release fine tuning. Let us know what weird stuff you find!

• We may have fixed the Scrapper audio... but we broke the animation (oops.) Fix inbound in the next patch!

• Various platform-specific performance optimizations are planned for the next patch.
