Remnant 2’s DLC Builds on the Best of Remnant 2 (Meaning: More Losomn!)

ign.com:

In a year with a massive roster of truly epic games to play, I still haven’t forgotten one of my favorites, Remnant 2 – a soulslike looter shooter with procedurally generated levels that I’ve easily put more than 100 hours into at this point. And as luck would have it, there’s more of that sweet multiversal goodness on the way with The Awakened King, a DLC that will add a sizable chunk of fresh content and plenty of reasons to grab some friends and jump back into the fray. In a hands-off demo of the expansion, I saw some tasty items, weapons, enemies, and, of course, bosses, and I already can’t wait to revisit one of my most beloved games of 2023.

The Awakened King adds a bunch of new content for one of Remnant 2’s standout areas, Losomn, the Bloodbornian Anor Londo-esque world filled with extremely aggressive angelic knights and dirty cockney newsies with coal streaks on their faces and a hatred of outsiders in their hearts. Anyone who played the Fae storyline probably already knows about that world’s departed king, who was betrayed and put into an endless sleep by conspirators and usurperpers. Well, now he’s awake and none too happy about all the unauthorized shenanigans that’ve been going on in his absence – and it’s up to you to do something about that.

The added story comes with a unique overworld called The Forlorn Coast, which takes you from a seaside shanty town all the way up to the king’s regal castle, which he’s rudely parked right on top of a Dran settlement. During the demo, I saw a preacher in the streets rallying his fellow commonfolk against the returned king’s iron fist and a blademaster serving that king with deadly efficiency as he impaled a trespasser in Remnant 2’s first Fatality-like boss fight death
