Remnant 2 was a very fun soulslike when I played it earlier this year, with worthwhile exploration, heavily expanded build-crafting, and tons of replayability. As such, I was excited to see what would be next for Gunfire Games’s acclaimed soulsike. Recently, I got to sit down with the Principal Designer and Principal Level Designer for the game to get an early taste of the game’s first DLC, The Awakened King.

For the 30-minute preview, I watched the team explore a new expansion to the region of Losomn, a fan-favorite location. The new expansion is an extra storyline that can appear during runs, like the asylum storyline for Losomn itself. However, you can select it when choosing Adventure mode for Losomn. This means that while it has a lot of the Dran and Fae architecture you’ve come to see meshed together, it houses plenty of new secrets.
