In Reus 2, players can expect their giants to do much more than simply nurture planets for humanity's benefit. They will also explore the fate of humanity in the cosmos of their creation. With the game’s civilization experiments, players can create multiple planets and explore how different human tribes react to the world that has been shaped for them. Players can also plan and discover strategic synergies within ecosystems, biomes, and between giants. Over time, players will discover more and more ways to bring life to their planets, with endless combinations of nature and different rosters of giants.
As humanity evolves, it will be entirely up to players to help them uncover both the best and worst of their destinies. Players can choose to foster and shape human aspirations helping them achieve their goals, or pave a more difficult road. Featuring meta progression and an adaptive experience, it’ll be up to players to decide what combination of challenging and relaxing gameplay they’d like. If something isn’t to their liking, players can always start a new humanity.
Reus 2 will have players once again diving into the incredible world of creation. Use magnificent giants to help influence the choices humanity makes and see how things end up as they evolve.
To celebrate Earth Day, Reus 2 is currently featured on the Steam Earth Appreciation Festival and offers a free demo during the whole event.
The game also got an update for the release date and will be pushed from the original May 23rd to May 28, 2024 to offer more comfort to the development team.
The demo offers three giants (Rock, Ocean, Swamp) that can create 3 biomes (Desert, Ocean, and Rainforest). A fourth giant (Frost) can be unlocked, along with the Taiga biome through the new metagame progression. Players can play as many planets as they want, but will only unlock up to the first 3 characters and their special powers. In this demo, players can only try the first era but will have a choice of 3 branching Turning Points.
