Risk of Rain 2's first big expansion, Survivors of the Void, is coming to PC on March 1, with a console release not far behind. 

Developer Hopoo Games announced the Survivors of the Void release date alongside a reveal stream focusing on the Railgunner, one of the two new playable characters included in the expansion. The $15 DLC is coming to Steam first, while console players will get access sometime during the second quarter of 2022. 

With a huge mix of nine new enemies, 40 items, two bosses, and four stages, Survivors of the Void is Risk of Rain 2's biggest update yet. There's also a new wave-based mode called the Simulacrum, plus an alternate ending complete with another final boss. 

"With Survivors of the Void, we decided to stick to what people knew and what people loved about Risk of Rain 2 – content and enemies and bosses and levels and more of the good stuff that was already in the game," Drummond says. "Everything that we want to have in there should go in, and it should be as big as possible; [Survivors of the Void] should be everything that we've wanted to do in Risk 2, so we poured all the designs that we have into that."

Here are the biggest new games for 2022 and beyond.
