Today, Gunfire Games unveiled The Awakened King, the first DLC for Remnant II. Due on November 14th, it’ll be priced at $9.99, though it is also included with the DLC bundle that costs $24.99 and comes with two additional DLCs due to be released in 2024. Owners of the Remnant II Ultimate Edition have the DLC bundle already included.
In The Awakened King, Remnant II players can expect a new adventure in a strange new location, new dungeons, a new archetype, and a new storyline.
• New Storyline, Dungeons, and Area Based in the World of Losomn: Delve deeper into the land
of Losomn and experience a brand new storyline about the One True King – whose mind has
been poisoned by the Root and is out for revenge against those who oppose him.
• New Archetype – The Ritualist: Leveraging status effects to punish foes, this new Archetype is a
master of pain and suffering. More details on the Archetype will be revealed closer to the DLC’s
launch.
• Many Items and Powerful Weapons that Enhance Gameplay: Outfit your survivor to survive
this more deadly version of the world of Losomn by choosing from a host of new weapons and
modifications, along with new items, like amulets and rings.
• New Bosses, Characters, and Fearsome Creatures to Encounter: Mysterious threats and
survivors of unknown origin emerge from the ocean depths and roam the streets, bringing new
challenges for all players.
Remnant II didn’t exactly thrill our Nathan Birch, who rated the game 6.5 out of 10 in his review published on Wccftech.
Remnant II is an impressive technical and artistic accomplishment in some ways, offering an intermittedly-striking, cutting-edge procedural world that’s satisfying to unravel. Unfortunately, a forgettable story, middle-of-the-road gunplay, dull loot, and some performance issues means this fantastic world isn’t always that fun to inhabit. Some folks, particularly those with a regular co-op party, will be drawn into this dark multiverse, but others may find Remnant II only provides scattered fragments of excitement amidst the frustration.
However, the game sold over a million units in less than a week from launch despite tough competition, proving that there’s a user base for The Awakened King and future DLCs.
