The roguelike Risk of Rain 2 is getting a pair of big updates--one today on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, and the other later this month on PC. The Hidden Realms update catches the console versions up with the PC update that's been out since December. At the end of March, the PC version will add the Artifacts 2.0 update.
The Artifacts 2.0 update is coming to PC on March 31, with no console release date announced. Artifacts are earned by completing challenges and then can be equipped at the start of a run to add new modifiers to the game. Aside from the artifacts themselves, the Artifacts update will add a new Sky Meadow stage, a monster returning from the first game, and a hidden boss. You'll also get new skill variants for Commando, Huntress, Engineer, and Acrid, a new Engineer skin, and new loot.
