Remnant 2 gets launch date for final DLC along with new free game mode

In a world rapidly becoming overcrowded with live service games that cock their hats at infinity, it's a surprising breath of fresh air to see a developer announce that the next DLC for a title will be the last one. We've known for a while that The Dark Horizon for Remnant 2 will be its final DLC, and now that day is finally nearly here. The launch date for both this slice of content and an accompanying free game mode have been announced, and there isn't long to wait.

Warden Archetype Reveal Trailer

One of the biggest new additions in Remnant 2’s final DLC, The Dark Horizon, is a brand-new Archetype called The Warden. When it comes to enhancing any playstyle, this new Archetype and its secret weapon – The Drone – will have you covered. The fully automated drone can shield, heal, or even attack enemies, making it the perfect partner to have on the battlefield. This new Archetype will be available in The Dark Horizon DLC for REMNANT II, launching on September 24 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Here’s a list of some of the new Archetype’s abilities:

  • Prime Perk: Dynamic - The Prime Perk, Dynamic, allows you to automatically regenerate Shield and greatly increase the base N’Erudian Energy Reserve for the Drone and Turret. For those looking to use Dual Archetypes with the Warden, the Engineer is a perfect Archetype to pair it up with, as the Turret will get a nice energy boost from this Prime Perk.
  • Skill: Shield Drone - The Warden truly shines through the use of their secret weapon – the Drone. You can choose from three variants for it: Shield, Heal, and Combat. For the Shield Drone, while energized, the Drone will constantly grant Shield to the selected ally until they are at 100 percent and will reduce all incoming damage by a small amount.
  • Skill: Heal Drone - The Warden can deploy a Heal Drone that constantly heals an ally until their health is fully restored, and passively, it grants a Relic Use Speed buff. If the goal is to keep yourself or an ally alive while boosting Relic functionality, then the Healing Drone is perfect.
  • Skill: Combat Drone - Last but not least, when it’s time to go all out and guns blazing, there’s the Combat Drone. Designed to be a constant offensive presence, an energized Combat Drone attacks any threat near the selected ally.
  • Archetype Trait: Barrier - To round out the Warden’s kit, there’s the Archetype Trait: Barrier. This unique trait increases the effectiveness of Shields the Warden applies, which means that even when providing protection to an ally, you will also receive the benefit. When making a Shield build, Barrier is a must.


Whether you like offense, defense or anything in-between, the Warden has got you and your allies covered. The cavalry has arrived!

We’re excited to announce that our third and final DLC for Remnant 2, The Dark Horizon, will be available September 24 for $9.99. Those who own the Ultimate Edition of Remnant 2 will have access to The Dark Horizon at no additional cost. In addition to the launch of this premium DLC, there will be a FREE major content update that will include the brand-new Boss Rush game mode!


[h3]THE DARK HORIZON[/h3]
Return to N’Erud and uncover a mysterious place preserved in time, where alien farmlands are tended by robots for inhabitants who have long since perished. But time corrupts all, and rogue AI and robotic creations threaten at every turn while you search for the secrets of the colossal entity that dominates the skyline. In a brand-new storyline, you will need to uncover the secrets within the necropolis world of N’Erud. As you enter this new overworld, you will explore new dungeons, experience a new glider traversal system not found in other worlds, acquire powerful gear—including a new Archetype, “The Warden"— meet unexpected allies, and face new threats as you set off to defeat the colossal entity that watches over N’Erud!


[h3]BOSS RUSH MODE[/h3]
Boss Rush will be a new game mode for players who want to get straight into the action and go up against bosses.

You will have the option to play the mode either solo or with fellow Travelers via multiplayer. Choose from the three difficulty options (Triple Threat (a three-boss run), Trial by Fire (a seven-boss run) and The Gauntlet (a nineteen-boss run), and put your survival skills to the test. The goal is simple yet extremely challenging: Successfully fight hordes of enemies, including an Aberration, to go up against bosses in the run to earn the elusive drops, including weapons, that you’ve been missing. Along the way, you will earn temporary buffs during the run that grant stat bonuses and/or powerful passive bonuses as well that will prove to be helpful.


Accessing the mode will be easy as you can head to the World Stone in Ward 13 and select Boss Rush (similar to selecting Campaign or Adventure). Here, you will choose their preferred difficulty and go into your run.

In addition to the new game mode and other quality of life changes, a new system, Prisms, will be introduced in the free content update. Prisms are a new feature to the rebalanced fragment system and can be leveled up to grant additional stat bonuses.
