Happily, this 3DS player isn’t really at risk for the fiery CPU explosion Drummond might be anticipating. In another tweet, the fan explains that she isn’t actually operating Risk of Rain 2 on 3DS, but streaming it from her PC. “But it’s still pretty cool nonetheless,“she says.
Applications likePinBoxandMoonlighthave allowed users to remotely stream games to their 3DS for years. Through these services, people have been able to pop open the near-vintage console and play anything from an online battle royalelike Fortniteto the extremely resource intensive open-world game Elden Ring. Though, it’s actually a lot harder to defeat Morgott withouta stylus.
In any case, it’s good that Risk of Rain 2 fans are keeping themselves busy. The game’s original studio, Hopoo Games, is inactive after its founders, including Drummond, left earlier this fallto work at Valve. You’ll be able to see Drummond’s influence on the upcoming hero shooter Deadlock, for which he’s already fieldingbug reports. Meanwhile,new IP holder Gearboxis trying to draw out more of Risk of Rain’s magic. Its recent Risk of Rain 2 DLC could not have beenmore disappointingat launch, but is on the mend after several patches.
