An unexpected addition occurred at Valve this morning — the studio Hopoo Games has joined the company. The team is primarily known for the roguelike series Risk of Rain.
Now, Hopoo Games employees will be working on Valve projects. Previously, they were working on an unannounced game called Snail, but it apparently had to be canceled.
It's been an exciting and transformative 12 years. We feel lucky for the opportunities we've had, and deeply appreciate both our team and fans that have supported us and our games.
We love making games — and will continue to do so, for years to come. We're excited to be working side-by-side with the talented people at Valve. But for now — sleep tight, Hopoo Games.
Recently, a paid expansion for Risk of Rain 2 called Seekers of the Storm was released, which brought popularity back to the game. However, the DLC itself received mixed reviews.
