Remnant 2 First Paid DLC The Awakened King Launches Later This Month

Gearbox and Gunfire Games have revealed that Remnant 2's first DLC, The Awakened King, will launch on November 14 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. It will cost $10.

In The Awakened King, the One True King has awakened and is now bloodthirsty, as he was corrupted by the Root during his hibernation. Players can experience a new storyline and uncover the secrets behind the One True King in a new area within the world of Losomm.

Additionally, there is a new archetype called the Ritualist that specializes in status effects. More details about this new archetype will be revealed closer to the DLC's launch. Alongside the new area, there are also new weapons, items, and bosses to encounter.

Two more DLC updates will come in 2024 for a total of three updates altogether. A DLC bundle containing all three is available for $25 and will have access to The Awakened King when it launches later this month. Those who have purchased Remnant 2's Ultimate Edition will receive all of the DLC at no additional cost.

Remnant 2 recently received a patch that added loadouts to the game. In GameSpot's Remnant 2 review, we said, "Remnant 2 is exactly what you want from a sequel, such is the way it expands and improves upon the first game's ideas. It's not likely to blow you away, but the core gameplay loop--built on rewarding combat, an ever-expanding repertoire of skills and abilities, and the randomness of its procedural generation--latches on and refuses to let go."
