Sandbox launches! Customise your favourite maps and create unique setups!
Bot Out bugs have been fixed and will now function as originally intended.
Alliance requests will time out and can be cancelled.
A brand new strategic emote pack to bring some fun ways to communicate.

All the details will arrive with the patch notes once the update is out. Read RISK: WHAT’S COMING TO v3.21 for more information.
