Destroy All Humans 2 Remaster Gets an August Release Date - and a Standalone Spin-Off Is Out Now
Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC on August 30, and players who preorder can play a spin-off today.
The spin-off, called Destroy All Humans: Clone Carnage, is a standalone multiplayer game that lets two players team up in couch co-op, or four players when online.
Clone Carnage comes with four modes - Rampage, Armageddon, Race, and Abduction - across six maps and can be downloaded immediately if players digitally preorder Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed. Alternatively, you can buy it separately for $12.99
The remaster, on the other hand, is the more traditional Destroy All Humans open world, adventure game experience set in the swinging '60s. Players can explore Bay City, Albion, Takoshima, Tunguska, and the Moon either solo or in split screen co-op.
While the original Destroy All Humans 2 was first released in 2006, a remaster of the first game was released in 2020 which led many to speculate if the sequel would receive the same treatment.
Somewhat oddly, PlayStation accidentally leaked the existence of the new remaster in September last year when it tweeted the announcement ahead of THQ Nordic's official reveal during its 10th anniversary stream.
In our 8/10 review of the original, IGN said: "Destroy All Humans! 2 provides enough variety and a quirky cast of characters to make it a worthwhile purchase for fans of the first and for gamers with a taste for the distinctly original."
