Remnant II is the more streamlined-sounding successor to Remnant: From the Ashes, a pretty darn good third-person cooperative cover shooter that incorporated Soulslike elements in a novel way. The sequel, like any good sequel should, looks to build upon that foundation and construct something new. We got a new trailer for the game at Keigh-3 (Summer Game Fest), showing off a tantalising slice of gameplay.
We've kept an eye on this one as development continues and are particularly intrigued by the Handler Archetype, Remnant II's take on a pet class which employs both guns and good boys. For purists, the Gunslinger Archetype brings some six-shooter action to bear as a focused DPS alternative. Gaming groups looking for a more hardcore cooperative experience might find it on 25th July on PS5.

Low-key possible GOTY contender.
So incredibly stoked for this!!!!!! The first one was one of the biggest pleasant surprises in recent memory. I sank MANY, many hours into that game and loved every minute of it. Absolutely can’t wait for this!! As much as I’m dead set against pre-ordering games, I **might** make an exception here.
I really enjoyed the first game. It was harder than a nun wearing dr marten boots but it was really good fun. Looking forwards to this.
Enjoyed the first far more than I expected so really looking forward to this. Liked everything that I’ve seen so far and curious to see where the narrative is going given the ending of the first.
The original was such a good game! I’ve never really been much of a multiplayer game kinda guy but me and a couple of mates had an absolute blast together… probably the most fun I’ve had in co-op tbh.
Might have to get the band back together.
Looks good!
I hope they will build upon the roguelike mode that was included in the DLC of the first game. It was ridiculously difficult but had so much fun joining up with strangers online to see how far we could get.
Remnant from the ashes and nioh are the best souls like games that from software didnt make.remnant 2 looks amazing.word up son
@DETfaninATL Hi there friend.
Have to agree with you. The first Remnant was such a pleseant surprise, that I played it four times on my PC, three of them in co-op with the latest dlc included.
Had a lot of fun with it both solo play and with friends.
And just like my man @playstation1995 mentioned, this game and Ni-Oh are two of the best souls-like, challenging games out there.
So many great games this year, it´s kinda insane.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all
@RaZieLDaNtE. Whats good playa.hows everything been.yeah remnant from the ashes is so amazing.and nioh games are excellent.word up son
@RaZieLDaNtE @playstation1995 When this drops if y'all want to co-op it, I'm down for that, time zones allowing. I'm always up for some good co-op on a fun game.
And yeah - Nioh is utterly fantastic as well! BTW, if y'all haven't tried Mortal Shell either, you need to check that one out for sure. There's a bit of a learning curve on it and it can be tough in spots, but both the base game and the roguelite DLC for it are also exceptionally good. That was another Soulslike that took me by surprise and I enjoyed every minute of it quite thoroughly!
@DETfaninATL yeah, I´m down for some fun co-op shooting.
I have played Mortal Shell when it first came out on PC and then on my Series X when it came on Gamepass.
I did like both the Shell and Harden mechanics.
It is kinda short though.
But the dlc improved the game´s replayability for sure.
Still undecided if I´m getting this game on PC or PS5, but I´m definitely getting it.
Cheers and happy gaming
I'll be playing this for sure, first game was excellent..
I still need to play thru the first game, but the sequel is definitely on my radar.
