Gearbox Publishing and Gunfire Games have announced Remnant II, the sequel to the best-selling game Remnant: From the Ashes, a third-person action-survival shooter that pits the last remnants of humanity against the harrowing forces of evil.

Remnant II evolves the co-op survival shooter with new unseen worlds filled with deadly surprises and encounters. Join the battle to save humanity in a dynamically generated world filled with branching quest lines, unique loot, and overwhelming odds that encourage exploration and replayability either alone or in three-person co-op. Players will define their own playstyle with an expanded Archetype class system and a wide assortment of guns, armor, and special augmentations as they overcome hard-fought challenges to stave off humanity's extinction. Remnant II will be available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2023.




Remnant II plunges players deeper into a devastated world requiring a mix of methodical and frenetic ranged and melee combat against cunning enemies and punishing boss battles. Enter the fray as a lone-wolf or even the odds by teaming up with two friends to overcome daunting challenges. Each time players start a new playthrough of Remnant II they will be brought into a new world built from a wide pool of locations, enemies, NPCs, bosses, and weapons. These dynamically built levels allow for unique experiences as elements are woven organically into the world and narrative.

An updated Archetype system gives players more flexibility to their play style and lets groups better sync unique passive abilities and stunning powers together in co-op play. Multiple Archetypes can be unlocked, leveled up, and equipped together for a wider variety of play styles.

"It is awesome to once again partner with Gunfire Games on this highly anticipated sequel," said Yoon Im, president of Gearbox Publishing San Francisco. "The studio's passion for the Remnant franchise and their expertise at crafting compelling worlds along with engaging combat scenarios shines through in Remnant II. The game will be challenging and punishing, but most importantly, so much fun!"

"We are excited to delve back into the world of Remnant with the team at Gearbox Publishing," said David Adams of Gunfire Games. "There are so many interesting stories to tell, vicious enemies to vanquish, exciting loot to grab, Archetypes to experiment with, and heart-pumping action for players to experience with their friends. We can't wait for everyone to play it next year"

It's a great co-op experience, though the game relies WAY too heavily on the dodging mechanics and those are flaky at best, janky at worst. Dodge timers and I-frames are reliant on your build as per usual, but bosses have varying timing on certain attacks depending on where they are, how much momentum they're carrying, and what phase they're in. It's a LOT of layers of complexity that just guarantees you'll be pissed off about nailing the dodge on one attack, and then getting caught by it a minute later despite hitting the action on the same frame window. Oh and bosses themselves can have weird mechanics that are poorly explained that end you in a millisecond if you don't understand and react with precision.

There's also quite a bit of back tracking and they reuse a ton of assets, but it's still good fun with friends. Unique at least. If you're up for a completionist run it's about ~65-70 hours.

I put maybe 10 hours into that game. I don't remember why I stopped playing. From what I can remember I thought the game was okay, but I just can't remember why I stopped and never went back to it.......Looking at Steam, last time I played it was Jan 19, 2015 and I put in 11.1 hours.

Maybe it deserves a second chance. I checked my backlog list of games and sure enough, The Last Remnant is on it. At least I know I have to play it still.

The first one was ok. The atmo was decent, and I did like the fact that you can solo it entirely without much of a hassle (looking at you, Borderlands! -_-).
Not a big fan of the "dynamic world" part though. Random gen feels like a cheap trick to avoid crafting a decent world (roguelikes and some sandboxes notwithstanding).

I thought it was going to be a sequel to The last remnant
I pray to god that never happens! It would be better for the world if Square Enix fully turned into OpenSea than see that atrocity brought back to life!

I keep finding more and more spinoffs or copies of existing franchises around too. Most of them though aren't really that fantastic. But sometimes you do find the thing, or they just have a certain system up to a really good level making it worthwhile :)
