Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Remnant 2 tasks you with exterminating alien creatures across vivid battlegrounds alone or alongside friends.

Read on for a primer on everything you need to know about the upcoming souls-like shooter.

Remnant 2 release date

Remnant 2 released on 25 July, 2023. The official launch date was announced at Summer Games Fest 2023. New weapons and bosses to take on might seem like an incremental upgrade but the visual overhaul is what players will notice right away. Its class system also blends well with these systems, enabling some tense cooperative action against Remnant 2’s many hordes.

Remnant 2 released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. There is no official announcement yet regarding a Switch port of the game. And while the game isn’t launching on the ageing Xbox One and PlayStation 4, its visuals and enhanced graphics are reason enough to warrant a next-gen-only push. It also allowed developer Gunfire Games to flesh out the game’s unique locales, complete with gorgeous environments and unique monster designs.

Remnant 2 trailers

Remnant 2 has revealed multiple trailers that showcase its gameplay and classes.

Here’s a Remnant 2 co-op gameplay trailer and a primer on one of its many desolate worlds. These trailers give us a good idea of the game and how players can expect to interact with its many systems.

While the game’s apocalyptic aesthetic might make you think of a punishing time, the game’s enemies are designed to feel satisfying to beat. This means that while their health bars might be imposing, weak spots and predictable moves make them simple to beat. Improve your odds against these monsters through teamwork and timing your abilities right. These enemies also let you make the most of your class abilities. The trailers also showcase how much of a visual upgrade the sequel has received from its predecessor.

Here’s our Remnant 2 best class tier list if you’re just getting started in the game.

Remnant 2 gameplay

Remnant 2 is a looter-shooter that asks you to clear worlds of their Root infestation. Destroying Root involves traversing the game’s devastated regions and clearing them of Root-infested aliens. The gameplay trailer revealed some terrifying enemies and new bosses that players can expect to face off in the sequel.

You can pick from classes, known as Archetypes, each with its own unique perks, gear, and abilities. This Archetype system enhances co-op play by letting players pick a unique play style across their playthroughs. It also opens the game up to some impressive flexibility options as players enter the fray.

For instance, the Medic has the ability to revive all players and grant them heals. And the Gunslinger archetype can turn semi-auto weapons into full-auto ones temporarily to outwit cunning enemies. While the previous game’s weapons just dictated the range of combat with unique loot, Remnant 2 offers more variety. Play enough in the game and you can unlock the ability to dual class.

While you can’t access the perks of multiple classes, you can loan an ability from another class for extra versatility thanks to the updated Archetype system. This means the melee combat focus of the Challenger class can be augmented by an ability from another class. Melee combat returns in Remnant 2 and high-level players can mix and match class abilities to make the most of specific gear across different biomes.

Evil god-like bosses and NPCs were tough to take down last time as a lone wolf but the Handler’s companion changes that this time around. This enables a wider variety of play styles because the Handler’s companion can revive you. One of the predecessors’ toughest challenges was revives so I’m glad to see the Darksiders 3 studio fix it. Your own skills can revive you against Remnant 2’s new deadly creatures across different biomes.
