Gearbox announces Alloyed Collective, new DLC coming to Risk of Rain 2, the roguelike third-person shooter. An Announcement Trailer is here to spread the news, setting up the story, showing off gameplay, and saying this is "coming soon." The previous DLC, Seekers of the Storm, described as "disastrous", required a lot of post launch support. But with that apparently completed just days ago, it is time to go once more unto the breach. Word is: "Only one player is required to own Alloyed Collective to enable the monsters, stages, and items to appear in-game for the whole lobby. Players without Alloyed Collective will be unable to select the two new survivors or permanently unlock new items, logbooks, or other content." The Steam Listing has the details, and here's an overview:
The Solus Units were never meant to survive. Betrayed and abandoned, they were lost to an unspeakable corruption. Today, those that remain rise from the scrap heaps that once were their allies to seize a future that was stolen from them. Their continued struggle is driven by a singular purpose: returning home.
Master one new and one veteran Survivor to fight through six new Stages. Perfect your build by collecting 15 new Items. Bolster your strength with 7 new Drones and descend deep into Petrichor V to take on the Alloyed Collective’s ultimate creation, Solus Wing.
