THQ Nordic (@THQNordic) and Gearbox Publishing (@GearboxOfficial) are teaming up to bring Remnant II to retail stores worldwide. The game is being developed by Gunfire Games (@gunfire_games), a THQ Nordic studio based in Austin, Texas. Gunfire Games is the creator of Darksiders 3, Remnant: From the Ashes and Chronos: Before the Ashes.

Remnant II is the sequel to the best-selling game Remnant: From the Ashes that pits survivors of humanity against new deadly creatures and god-like bosses across terrifying worlds. Play solo or co-op with two other friends to explore the depths of the unknown to stop an evil from destroying reality itself. To succeed, players will need to rely on their own skills and those of their team to overcome the toughest challenges and to stave off humanity’s extinction.

Building on the original game, Remnant II introduces new weapons, gear, bosses, and biomes - including branching quest lines and an expanded Archetype system. Remnant II plunges players deeper into a devastated world requiring a mix of methodical and frenetic ranged and melee combat against cunning enemies and punishing boss battles. Enter the fray as a lone-wolf or even the odds by teaming up with two friends to overcome daunting challenges.

Remnant II's features include:

• Intense Remnant Combat Experience: A mix of methodical and frenetic ranged/melee combat returns with cunning enemies and large scale boss battles.

Bosses will bring high-level players to team up to overcome the challenge and try to obtain the biggest rewards
  
  
• New Worlds to Explore: Players can travel alone or with friends as a team through strange new worlds and beyond, overrun by mythical creatures and deadly foes while trying to stay alive. There are multiple worlds to explore with different types of creatures, weapons, and items. Utilize and upgrade discovered items to take on tougher challenges
  
  
• Endless Replayability: Branching quest lines, augments, crafting, and loot rewards will test the resolve of even the most hardened players in dynamically generated dungeons and areas. Playthroughs will feel challenging, varied, and rewarding as players succeed against unrelenting odds. Various stories are woven throughout the different worlds, encouraging exploration and multiple revisits
