Tournaments are thriving with winners announced for our Dune Last Chance tournament.
Let’s dive in 👇
Update 3.19 is live!
3.19 dropped earlier this week with block lists and the new, improved Streamer Mode. You can read the 3.19 release notes here.
Update 3.20 is coming soon
This one’s big. Here’s what’s in the pipeline:
🎲 Balanced Blitz Dice Rolls
We’ve reworked Blitz Dice based on community feedback - now losses in blitz mode should be more predictable especially when making large rolls. There’s a lot to cover, you can read about it in our deep dive from earlier this year.
🗺️ Community Map Pack (New!)
Four all-new maps designed by RISK players from the Community Discord Map Design Contest they held all the way back in 2023.
We’ve worked with the original creators to bring them to life - and they’re some of our best maps to date.
Here’s a sneak peek at the box art.
Stay tuned to our socials. We’ll reveal each map in the coming weeks.
