"All of the new content we try to design for Risk Of Rain 2 is intended to be multiplicative of what's in the game currently – that way there is as much variety as possible each time you play the game," said Paul Morse and Duncan Drummond, co-founders of Hopoo Games. "The new items and survivors, alongside the new Void Item System, will empower players to take content they chase after in a run, and enhance it – or even change it completely. Players will discover a lot of cool new combinations that weren't possible prior to the DLC."
