Remnant 2: The Dark Horizon Will Launch in September 2024
Not much has been revealed about whatThe Dark Horizonwill contain, besides a brief plot summary revolving around the world of N’Erud. Gunfire Games did share that it is working on a brand-new game mode that aims to be freely available, as well as a new progression system, that will presumably be released in tandem withThe Dark Horizon. What exactly these changes will entail is yet to be seen, but given howRemnant 2already has a unique progression system with its archetypes, fans are interested in seeing what exactly is in store for them.
The news of the delay is being taken well, with fans favoring quality over quantity, and being happy to wait so long as it results in a better final product. Given thatRemnant 2recently exploded in popularity due to featuring on PS Plus Extra, it’s understandable that Gunfire Games wants to ensure nothing is rushed. With a slew of new players trying the game for the first time, the release of a good DLC could be what keeps them hooked, and with the promise of more information regardingThe Dark Horizoncoming soon, all we can do is wait.
