Remnant 2 is the sequel to the best-selling game Remnant: From the Ashes that pits survivors of humanity against new deadly creatures and god-like bosses across terrifying worlds. Play solo or co-op with two other friends to explore the depths of the unknown to stop an evil from destroying reality itself. To succeed, players will need to rely on their own skills and those of their team to overcome the toughest challenges and to stave off humanity’s extinction.

A mix of methodical and frenetic ranged/melee combat returns with cunning enemies and large scale boss battles. Choose specific gear and weapons to optimize for the different biomes and battles ahead. Bosses will bring high-level players to team up to overcome the challenge and try to obtain the biggest rewards.

Players can travel alone or with friends as a team through strange new worlds and beyond, overrun by mythical creatures and deadly foes while trying to stay alive. There are multiple worlds to explore with different types of creatures, weapons, and items. Utilize and upgrade discovered items to take on tougher challenges.

Branching quest lines, augments, crafting, and loot rewards will test the resolve of even the most hardened players in dynamically generated dungeons and areas. Playthroughs will feel challenging, varied, and rewarding as players succeed against unrelenting odds. Various stories are woven throughout the different worlds, encouraging exploration and multiple revisits.

Expanded Archetype system provides players with unique passive bonuses and stunning powers. Multiple Archetypes can be unlocked during play, leveled up, and equipped together for a variety of play styles.

I'm looking forward to this one, the first game was crazy fun with a pair of friends. Oh yeah, and now we can bring along a dog companion!

An exact release date has yet to be provided, but we can expect it to drop sometime this Summer 2023.

I saw the last one played a bunch and it looked interesting, so I'm mildly interested in this. I'm curious as to what the threat will be though; we kicked the Root out of Earth in the last game, right?

Looks like we're still going through the ruins of another city on Earth with a Root presence, so I guess not. Totally makes sense why we're fighting them in the other realms though, because we only (supposedly) banished the Root from Earth so far, not the entire multiverse.

The first game already had randomized levels bosses and dungeon encounters, but the sequel plans to take things a step further by randomizing certain plot points in addition to the previous features.

This is a sequel I should've seen coming given the first game's success and plot threads that were Left Hanging, but I'm still kinda shocked this is coming out, and so soon! Adored the original, so I'm really looking forward to this. The randomized plots sound frankly like a better option given the original's kinda thin writing than trying to flesh it out into some big epic storytelling event.

The original is on sale. Is it worth buying now, when there's probably no multiplayer base left? I originally held off because I heard it was "a single player game trying to be a multiplayer game," and people said it had bad netcode.

It's totally playable solo. Hell, for the longest time the final boss had an annoying glitch that would make it impossible to kill that only triggered during co-op sessions. Also the more players join a session, the more hit points the bosses gain along with mooks assisting the bosses appearing during a fight. And again, as per your netcode comment; you're actually at disadvantage during QTE button mash/response moments if you're reside in a region with bad latency, enough to the point that virtually any of the QTE events become death sentences no matter how precise your timing or aggressively you were mashing the button due to the network not recognizing your inputs on time.

Only boss I can think of that's a huge pain in the ass to solo are the twin world bosses at the end of Corsus swamp; you'll absolutely want a friend's help dealing with those two. Every other boss is quite doable, albeit difficult - this game does fancy itself a third-person shooter inspired by Dark Souls, after all.

I'm guessing the Dog companion is the game's way of giving solo players a co-op buddy of sorts.

Doesn't look good for the world of Yaesha. Last time we visited the denizens were in the middle of a civil war, but at least their world seemed much more vibrant and (mostly) free of the Root's corruption. Guess not anymore...

This is the jungle world with the fauns, yes?

Again, sounds more and more like it's the same system from the first game in that actual classes don't actually exist - they're just more like presets to help start up certain builds, like in Dark Souls.

And now introducing the World of Yharnam - err, I mean Losomn, and the Dran peoples that reside there.

Looks like I might've been wrong, the classes may actually have abilities unique to them. Because unless I'm interpreting things wrong that perk menu seems to indicate that your characters will have an innate primary perk in addition to all the others you can unlock.

The Reviews are starting to trickle in.

ACG feels that it's more of the same but better, yet the procedurally-generated worlds often feel like disjointed setpieces with no rhyme or reason, the dog AI could use some work, and the graphics engine/settings could probably use some optimization. Replayability is guaranteed to be great since the game encourages multiple playthroughs in order to find and explore all of the worlds. Overall, he says it's worth a buy, especially if you enjoyed the first game.

IGN's reviewer was happy with the product, praising the combat, loot collection and worldbuilding. They gave it a 9/10.

Fextralife's review emphasized that while Remnant II's story has rather average writing, the worlds crafted are visually memorable, with a few gorgeous settings. And once again, there's plenty of incentive to re-run the campaign or play adventure mode in order to experience all of the various paths and find loot.

Aaaaand Polygon had to give another goddamn useless take again. This time with a reviewer who clearly wasn't happy with being assigned the game (or any souls-likes in general) and also complained about being sick of post-apocalyptic settings.

DLC 1: The Awakened King is coming out on Nov 14th.

Since the teaser trailer doesn't give any info aside from the plot and setting, figured I'd link this Fextralife video which discusses the details a bit... it still wasn't much.

Definitely not a noob-friendly class. You really need to be busy applying status effects in order to make the class's primary Vile perk and it's DPS increase work. Let alone the Deathwish perk...
