According to its own lead designer, Remnant 2 will have so much content that it would be impossible to see it all even after 400 hours. When you mix this with the announcement of DLC via the Ultimate Edition, it appears that gamers have lots to do in this game.
Remnant 2, which was first unveiled late last year, is quickly set to continue the third-person shooter and action RPG hybrid gameplay that its predecessor was favourably appreciated for. It intends to put itself apart from predecessors by enhancing procedural generation. Whereas Remnant: From the Ashes only used it to create map layouts and opponent placements, Remnant 2 will use it for enemy kinds, level aesthetics, bosses, NPCs, and even narrative and side-story elements that occur mid-game.
We haven’t noticed any advertising for Remnant 2, maybe looking at wrong area. But we get a feeling that this has all been organic word of mouth, with people yelling the game’s virtues. We weren’t planning on playing it, however many people have suggested it to us.
- Remnant 2 will have so much material that even after 400+ hours of gaming, players will not have seen or gotten everything it has to offer.
- Procedural generation will be used not just in map layouts and enemy placements, but also in enemy kinds, level aesthetics, bosses, NPCs, and even the storyline and side-story aspects.

- Remnant 2 is intended to be exploratory and secret-filled, with an easier approach to gain achievements. The unique horror-tinged setting is designed to keep players engaged by inspiring them to fully dive into all that the game offers.
According to Ben Cureton, Remnant 2’s lead designer, the video game will be heavily exploration focused and full of surprises. Like most, if not all, Xbox and PlayStation games, it will have a plethora of accolades to hunt down, but Cureton assures us that the method of obtaining them will be simple enough. However, he added that Remnant 2’s deep horror-tinged setting was created to be continually exciting to completely discover in order to ensure players don’t abandon the game once they’ve completed all of the milestones. He did not say if there would be a genuine prize for completely examining every aspect, or whether the mysteries will be a reward in and of themselves.
For those that love secrets and exploring:

No one has seen or obtained 100% of everything #Remnant2 has to offer. I'm talking about hardcore players with over 400+ hours, reviewers that had early access, even our own internal developers. No one.

This news seemed to delight gamers. Aside from the overall buzz, numerous early access gamers backed Cureton up. Some noted pleasure at the “player-friendly” method of handling accomplishments, stating that they didn’t want to be tied to a single game lasting a long time, and a couple claimed that they hadn’t even finished the first game yet. Combine Remnant 2’s massive scale with the greatly upgraded combat engine and added classes for playing with, and this is apparent there’s much to be thrilled about.
On July 25, 2023, Remnant 2 will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
