Remnant 2’s developer, Gunfire Games, has recently announced the upcoming release of the final DLC for the game, titled The Dark Horizon. This news comes a year after the successful launch of the co-op shooter sequel, which has been praised as ‘Dark Souls with guns’. The release window for The Dark Horizon is set for September 2024, giving players something to look forward to.
In this new DLC, players will return to the necropolis world of N’Erud, only to find themselves facing a strange and mysterious phenomenon that has taken hold. Despite the excitement surrounding the upcoming release, there has been a slight delay in the schedule, as Gunfire Games had originally planned to release all three DLCs within the first year of Remnant 2’s launch.
The decision to delay the release of The Dark Horizon was made in order to ensure that players receive the best possible experience. Gunfire Games is working hard to make this DLC the most expansive one yet, promising to include even more of the Remnant goodness that fans have come to love. Additionally, a new game mode and progression system are in the works, which will be available to all players for free.
While the delay may be disappointing for fans who have been eagerly awaiting the DLC, Gunfire Games is grateful for the ongoing support and loyalty of the Remnant community. The success of Remnant 2 and its DLCs has been a source of joy for both the developers and the players, and there are more exciting adventures to come in the future.
Remnant 2 was met with critical acclaim upon its release in July 2023, selling over one million copies in its first week across multiple platforms. By September 2023, it had sold over two million units, surpassing even popular titles like Diablo 4. IGN’s review praised the game as a “triumphant sequel” that successfully combines elements of the soulslike genre with co-op looter-shooter mechanics.
As the Remnant 2 DLC wraps up, speculation has already begun about Gunfire Games’ next project and the possibility of a Remnant 3. Fans can stay tuned for more updates on The Dark Horizon DLC and future developments from Gunfire Games.
