The newly released Remnant 2 has exceeded expectations by selling over a million copies in just one week. With enhanced gameplay features compared to its predecessor, the game has received widespread praise and has even surprised the team at Gearbox Publishing with its remarkable sales.
Remnant 2, a third-person shooter inspired by Soulslike games, serves as the highly anticipated sequel to Remnant: From the Ashes. This latest installment has garnered acclaim for its expanded range of character build options, challenging boss battles, and a wide array of new weapons. The game's success was evident even before its official release, as it quickly became a top-seller on Steam.
Now, with the official announcement from Gearbox Publishing, it has been revealed that Remnant 2 has surpassed expectations by selling over a million units and doubling the number of concurrent players compared to its predecessor. Yoon Im, the president of Gearbox Publishing, expressed his delight as the game turned out to be a remarkable success both commercially and critically.
Remnant 2 distinguishes itself from Remnant: From the Ashes in several aspects. While both games take place in a post-apocalyptic Earth, the sequel has significantly refined mechanics. Notably, Remnant 2 prioritizes quantity in boss fights, featuring fewer bosses but with a heightened focus on uniqueness. Additionally, the introduction of the Archetype system enhances build variety and is considered an improvement over the Trait system in Remnant: From the Ashes, which has also undergone changes in the sequel. Despite these refinements, procedural generation continues to be a crucial element in Remnant 2.
Currently, developer Gunfire Games is primarily dedicated to further developing Remnant 2, as they have already committed to long-term support for the game. Nonetheless, it is possible to speculate on the company's future endeavors, with a potential candidate for their next project being a sequel to Chronos: Before The Ashes. Given its loose connection to the Remnant games' universe, such a title would likely attract players who are currently engaged with Remnant 2.
Remnant 2 is now available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
