If Remnant II wasn’t in your radar earlier than, it needs 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, a minimum of 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 optimistic response” thus far.
Think about Gears of Warfare meets Darkish Souls with some loot thrown in and you’ve got a fairly good thought of what Remnant II is all about. You play as a post-apocalyptic survivor who has to battle by means of a multiverse playground full of monsters to avoid wasting humanity. It’s a grim grind that’s exhausting to place down due to continually shifting environments, new secrets and techniques to find, actually crunchy fight, and three-player co-op, a minimum of when every little thing is working proper.
“We all know that encountering bugs and glitches might be irritating and may hinder your pleasure for the sport,” improvement director Ben Gabbard posted on Steam on July 27. “We take these points extremely severely, and our group is working to establish and handle these points as rapidly as attainable.” He talked about Gunfire has already addressed snags blocking gamers’ progress in Labyrinth degree, Nightweaver’s Internet occasion beneath the Asylum, , and the Water Harp puzzle within the Forbidden Grove, however extra updates are on the way in which:
- Bettering total efficiency
- Addressing crashes and points with increased finish methods
- Addressing points with the trait system
- Different Development blockers and lacking objects
- And different fixes!
On console, one of many larger 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 mates,” 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 stunning absence within the yr 2023, particularly for a recreation 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 presently the ninth highest recreation on Steam in terms of complete concurrent gamers, simply behind Rust. That’s roughly double what the primary recreation launched with. The sequel’s timing couldn’t have been higher both, sneaking in simply forward of Baldur’s Gate III on August 3.
