Gunfire Games, with the help of Gearbox Publishing, came out with Remnant: From the Ashes in 2019 and gave fans of the Soulsborne genre something to cheer for. Three years and 3 million copies sold later, a sequel, Remnant 2, is shaping up to be yet another sleeper but bigger hit for the studio.
Not yet officially released but already turning heads, Remnant 2 is a name being bandied about in the most passionate of gamer circles. It's no longer just a potential cult classic but a likely best-seller that will explode into the mainstream on July 25.
The first "Remnant" was a solid performer that struck a chord with a select audience. An oddball mix of co-op third-person shooter, Soulslike and ARPG that struck gold, it inspired players to dive deep, plumbing its secrets and spending hundreds of hours in its unique, replayable world. However, it seems that its successor is prepared to step out of the shadows and onto center stage.
Remnant 2 has managed to entice even those unfamiliar with its predecessor. The game's unique blend of precise enemy attack patterns, invincibility-boosted dodge rolls, and satisfying shooting have piqued the curiosity of the picky fanbase of the genre. And that's not even mentioning the game's treasure trove of secrets, its arsenal of weapons, and the deep character progression that should garner much acclaim.
