Remnant 2’s first DLC The Awakened King delves deeper into Losomn

destructoid.com:

I had a blast playing through Remnant 2 earlier this year. Just a week ago I had the opportunity to see a preview of the first upcoming DLC for the Action RPG shooter titled The Awakened King. Now I loved all of the worlds in Remnant 2, but there was something special about Losomn. With the upcoming DLC, players will head back to the world of Losomn to learn more about the One True King.

In the roughly 25-minute preview of The Awakened King DLC, I was shown the new region in which we will be visiting. The One True King has awakened, and he is out for blood after being corrupted by the Root. In a fit of rage he teleported his castle above a Dran coastal town where the chaotic weather and angry tides have surfaced all sorts of creatures.

Players will experience a brand new storyline and traverse new dungeons as they uncover the secrets about the One True King. Along the way players will encounter new threats and enemies as well as bosses.

From what I saw, the coastal town continued to give off the standard Losomn Bloodborne-esque vibes. But what really stood to me, is the influence from being nestled in a coastal town where the tumultuous tides have cast an eerie feeling over the town. It looked and felt sort of like Innsmouth, a fictional town from the H.P. Lovecraft story titled “The Shadow Over Innsmouth“.

The actual environment seemed to be the biggest area yet in Remnant 2. Early in the preview I saw parts of the coastal town up close as the player traversed its streets. But at the end, we stood on the walls of the castle looking down at the massive sprawling town below. This isn’t just some small side section of Losomn, but rather its own big entity from it.

Players will also get to play as a whole new Archetype,
