About The Dark Horizon DLC 

In The Dark Horizon DLC, the upcoming and final DLC for REMNANT II, players will 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 Travelers search for the secrets of the colossal entity that dominates the skyline. In a brand-new storyline, players will need to uncover the secrets within the necropolis world of N’Erud. As they enter this new overworld, players 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 they set off to defeat the colossal entity that watches over N’Erud!

New Storyline, Dungeons and Area Based in the World of N’Erud: Delve deeper into the world of N’Erud and take on a brand-new storyline where players will enter a mysterious place preserved in time and search for the secrets of a colossal entity that dominates the skyline.

  • New Glider Traversal System: In this new overworld, players will be able to experience a new glider traversal system that allows them to navigate the overworld and uncover the origins of the ominous presence that lies above. With this system, players can choose which parts of the overworld they want to explore, including how they want to face off against the new world boss.

New Archetype – The Warden: When it comes to enhancing any playstyle, this new archetype, The Warden, and its secret weapon – The Drone – have you covered. The fully automated drone can shield, heal, or even attack enemies, making it the perfect partner to have on the battlefield. More details on the Archetype will be revealed in a new Archetype Reveal Trailer next week!

Many Items and Powerful Weapons that Enhance Gameplay: Outfit the Traveler to survive this more deadly version of the world of N’Erud by choosing from a host of new weapons and modifications, along with new items, like amulets and rings.

New Bosses, Characters and Fearsome Creatures to Encounter: Mysterious threats and survivors of unknown origin emerge from the long extinct civilization with rogue AI and robotic creations lurking around every corner bringing new challenges for all players.

As for the title update set to be released alongside the DLC, it will bring the Boss Rush game made along with quality-of-life improvements.

Free Boss Rush Update Details:

Players will have the option to play the mode either solo or with fellow Travelers via multiplayer, choose from 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 their survival skills to the test. For the mode, 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, players will earn temporary buffs during the run that grant stat bonuses and/or powerful passive bonuses as well that will prove to be helpful.

In addition to the new game mode, 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.

Once the update is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. You can keep tabs on our Remnant 2 coverage here.
