Remnant 2's first DLC, The Awakened King, is inbound—here's everything we know about it

Get ready for stormy skies, moody Elizabethan streets, and fantastic fae castles. We're goin' back to Losomn.

I booted up Remnant 2 earlier this week, and was quickly reminded of why it's still one of my faves from this year. It's a great third-person romp that's a mixture of soulslike staples and ARPG-style procedural generation. I must've had a premonition, because its first DLC has just been announced today. 

It's called The Awakened King, and it follows—you guessed it—the awakening of a king. Specifically, Losomn's One True King, whose extended nap has caused a lot of problems—not least because his mind has been poisoned by the Root, a world-spanning plague. 

Unlike a lot of Remnant 2's multiversal worlds, Losomn's actually two worlds smashed into each other like the worst turducken. Everyone's at war and no-one's happy. One of these worlds is Dran, a land of cobbled streets now dominated by an easily-angered hivemind. 

Now that he's awake, cursed with madness, and understandably miffed, the One True King's castle has been dropped into a coastal Dran town, and it's stirring up creatures from the depths. Here's all the juicy details I've been sent by Gearbox so far:

This is all interesting stuff. Particularly, the Ritualist sounds like a reverse version of the Alchemist, who's all about buffing allies (and is also unlocked in Losomn). I'm also excited about those new trinkets, seeing as a lot of Remnant 2's builds hinge on which amulets and rings you've got equipped. 

I'm deeply curious to find out more. For the uninitiated, your average Remnant 2 campaign takes you through three randomly-ordered worlds (plus the Labyrinth, and another that's a big spoiler), which are then built up with procedurally-arranged dungeons
