If Remnant II wasn’t in your radar earlier than, it ought to be now. The sequel to a surprisingly nice 2019 Souls-like shooter is even higher than the unique, breaking out on Steam at launch regardless of experiences of bugs, efficiency points, and, not less than on PlayStation 5, issues with co-op. The studio behind it, Gunfire Video games, is now promising to handle these points and extra because it celebrates the neighborhood’s “overwhelming constructive response” thus far.
Think about Gears of Struggle meets Darkish Souls with some loot thrown in and you’ve got a reasonably good thought of what Remnant II is all about. You play as a post-apocalyptic survivor who has to combat by a multiverse playground stuffed with monsters to save lots of humanity. It’s a grim grind that’s onerous to place down because of continuously shifting environments, new secrets and techniques to find, actually crunchy fight, and three-player co-op, not less than when every part is working proper.

Enhancing total performanceAddressing crashes and points with larger finish systemsAddressing points with the trait systemOther Development blockers and lacking itemsAnd different fixes!
On console, one of many greater hiccups is the multiplayer. “Fast replace on the PS5 co-op points: Whereas it does work for a few of you, others can’t be a part of or invite their pals,” the studio tweeted yesterday. “Relaxation assured that we’re nonetheless working to get this mounted for everyone. Thanks to your endurance!” Notably, Remnant II additionally didn’t launch with crossplay, a shocking absence within the 12 months 2023, particularly for a sport with such an emphasis on squadding up with friends. It’s not clear but when will probably be added, if in any respect.
None of that has stopped the sport from skyrocketing up the charts, nonetheless. Remnant II is at the moment the ninth highest sport on Steam in terms of complete concurrent gamers, simply behind Rust. That’s roughly double what the primary sport launched with. The sequel’s timing couldn’t have been higher both, sneaking in simply forward of Baldur’s Gate III on August 3.
