One of the keys to truly getting the most out of the dark looter-shooter Remnant II is finding some folks to team up with, but unfortunately, players’ ability to do that has been somewhat limited by the fact that the game hasn’t supported crossplay. Well, thankfully, that changes today as Gunfire Games and publisher Gearbox have announced the addition of crossplay to the game. Here’s what Remnant II director David Adams had to say about the new feature…
“Crossplay has been one of the most player-requested features for Remnant II, and our community has been so awesome waiting patiently for this feature to roll out. We’re so excited to launch this update today as the team has been working hard to make it a reality. There’s even more Remnant II content to come, including the second DLC!”
In addition to adding crossplay, the well-liked Aberration Domination event is making a return, with players being able to tackle its challenges until March 5.
“In the Aberration Domination event, players will discover hordes of menacing Aberrations have spawned across all worlds. Players who defeat these sinister foes can collect elusive Corrupted Shards and use these shards to craft new corrupted weapons. This limited time event brings five new corrupted versions of the following weapons: Savior, Twisted Arbalest, Sorrow, Cube Gun, and Nebula.”
Haven’t been keeping up with Remnant II? As I spell out in my full review, I had some issues with the base game, although I actually quite enjoyed the Remnant II: The Awakened King DLC…
“Remnant II: The Awakened King is less ambitious in scope and challenge than the base game, but in some ways, its more focused approach is actually beneficial. I found the Forlorn Coast and its connected locales to be some of the best-designed in the game and my minute-to-minute experience with the DLC more inviting and rewarding than much of the base campaign. Hopefully, Gunfire Games can continue to refine their Remnant II formula with future expansions (there will eventually be three in total) as The Awakened King is a surprisingly digestible new slice of hell.”
Remnant II can be played on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5.
