Remnant II is a a third-person action-survival shooter that pits survivors of humanity against new deadly creatures and god-like bosses across terrifying worlds.

Remnant II evolves the co-op survival shooter with new unseen worlds filled with deadly surprises and encounters, pitting survivors of humanity against new deadly creatures and god-like bosses across terrifying worlds.

Join the battle to save humanity in a dynamically generated world filled with branching quest lines, unique loot, and overwhelming odds that encourage exploration and replayability either alone or in three-person co-op. Players will define their own playstyle with an expanded Archetype class system and a wide assortment of guns, armor, and special augmentations as they overcome hard-fought challenges to stave off humanity’s extinction.

Remnant II plunges players deeper into a devastated world requiring a mix of methodical and frenetic ranged and melee combat against cunning enemies and punishing boss battles. Enter the fray as a lone-wolf or even the odds by teaming up with two friends to overcome daunting challenges. Each time players start a new playthrough of Remnant II they will be brought into a new world built from a wide pool of locations, enemies, NPCs, bosses, and weapons. These dynamically built levels allow for unique experiences as elements are woven organically into the world and narrative. 

There's no better choice for keeping the squad in tip-top shape than the Medic Archetype.

Master of healing and Relics, they're adept at recovering their own injuries and sustaining the team in a fight.

Call an ambulance... But not for me!

 

N’Erud is a gigantic construct with the ability to traverse the universe at incomprehensible speeds. Its denizens, the Drzyr, discovered a supermassive black hole that may hold the mysteries of creation.

It was built as a second home for the Drzyr, a long-lived and technologically advanced species that has mastered the powers of matter and energy, bent biology to its will, and amassed an intimate knowledge of time and space. But in their search for sentient life beyond their own, the Drzyr stumbled upon something far greater: the center of the universe, the Seat of Creation itself.

Within the Seat of Creation, the Drzyr discovered a supermassive black hole the likes of which had never been encountered before. Many believed the answer to all of creation’s mysteries resided within the center of the black hole. The Custodian, caretaker of N’Erud and wholly responsible for its function, assured the Drzyr that their constructed home could withstand the journey. Accepting the Custodian’s seemingly infallible counsel, the Drzyr prepared to meet their Creator.

The Drzyr civilization ended the moment N’Erud crossed the event horizon. Tal’Ratha, an Astropath enlightened by a mysterious ingestible substance, had desperately warned the Drzyr of the dangers of entering the black hole. Ultimately overruled, he could do nothing as N’Erud plunged into its doom... Yet somehow, Tal’Ratha survived the perilous journey, only to see his tragic prediction realized: the now derelict N’Erud has become a necropolis, and his fellow Drzyr warped into incorporeal entities who haunt the very world they built.

But what has become of the Drzyr?
