This year’s surprise Soulslike hit, Remnant 2, may end up being a substantially bigger game than anyone initially expected, according to Ben Cureton of Gunfire Games. Cureton is the Principal Designer working on Remnant 2, and he revealed that “there is a very good chance” more DLC will be coming.
This information comes from the latest of Gunfire Games’ several AMA threads on Reddit, where Cureton goes into substantial depth about Remnant 2 and its ongoing development by responding to the players’ questions. While it has been known for some time now that Remnant 2 would get three major DLCs post-release, Reddit user Korten12 asked whether more DLC might be coming once they are out. Cureton, using his “verytragic” Reddit account, responded with the quote featured above.
Aside from there being a good shot at more than three expansion packs for Remnant 2, Cureton also talked about how important quality-of-life improvements have been for Gunfire Games, as well as discussing some other potential features, like a more hardcore Survival mode or, perhaps, a boss rush, though these are still up in the air.
Remnant 2’s commercial success leads to long-term support for the game
While the original title, Remnant: From the Ashes, may have remained a fairly obscure offering in the grand scheme of things, the same cannot be said about Remnant 2. As one of the best-selling games of 2023, Remnant 2 achieved both critical acclaim and fan adoration, having been hailed as a gaming highlight even in a year as loaded with compelling games as 2023 has been. It’s not a huge surprise, then, that Gunfire Games would be looking at ways to expand this success with further post-launch releases.
Cureton’s comments don’t offer a surefire promise of there being more than three full expansion packs, of course, but it is, perhaps, telling that the previous Remnant 2 AMA didn’t provide any such bombshell responses. With that in mind, it may be that Gunfire now feels more at ease with what Remnant 2 has achieved and that the studio sees more potential in the game than there might’ve initially been.
Whatever the case may be, Remnant 2‘s first major expansion pack, The Awakened King, is coming out on November 14 at just $9,99 or your regional equivalent. It promises to expand upon the story of Losomn and its two elven races of humanoids, and the community is eager to bite into it as soon as possible.
