After just over a year in Early Access - and one delay - Risk of Rain 2 has officially launched. The 1.0 update arrived today, bringing with it a new final boss and the community-selected final survivor, the Captain.
As we've discussed before, the Captain is the tenth playable character in Risk of Rain 2, and he wields a gun that can shift from rifle to shotgun depending on the situation. He's also able to call down probes from the orbiting UES Safe Travels that can either provide a healing buff to everyone in range or additional armour. He has a nice captain's coat and hat, calling to mind the ones worn by Captain Haddock in Tintin's adventures.
The final stage takes players to the moon, where they're face off against the Risk of Rain 2 final boss, who is accompanied by a new set of lunar monsters. Like everything else in Risk of Rain, they're increasingly unfriendly the more time you decide to stick around. So you'll want to polish the big guy off as quickly as possible, yeah?
