The upcoming Remnant 2 DLC, The Awakened King, will transport players back to the realm of Losomn, delving into the mysterious narrative surrounding its One True King. An exciting revelation from developer Gunfire Games assures players that purchasing the DLC is not a prerequisite for joining in cooperative gameplay. If at least one person in the group owns the expansion, they can invite others to partake in the adventure, with one caveat.
As a fervent enthusiast of Remnant 2, which has secured its place as a superb sequel and one of my favorite co-op games of 2023, I am eagerly anticipating the release of The Awakened King. The good news for me, as a DLC owner, is that I can bring my friends along for the journey even if they haven’t acquired their own copy yet.
Gunfire Games conveyed this message via the official Remnant 2 Twitter/X account: “Join DLC owners’ games in ‘The Awakened King’ storyline, even without the DLC! ⚔️ – however, to use any DLC-related items that you acquire, you’ll need to pick up a copy for yourself.”
This implies that players can unlock notable weapons and items from the DLC as they progress through the game but won’t be able to equip them unless they decide to acquire the expansion.
This approach marks a significant improvement from the original Remnant: From The Ashes, where players received DLC item drops but couldn’t join friends in the new regions introduced by the expansion.
The Awakened King promises compelling lore, exposition, and new Remnant 2 bosses, ensuring an engaging experience for everyone, regardless of DLC ownership. The anticipated release date for Remnant 2 The Awakened King is Tuesday, November 14, 2023, available on Steam. Players who have purchased the Remnant 2 Ultimate Edition, encompassing the next two DLCs, can also access The Awakened King. Additionally, Gunfire Games confirms forthcoming DLCs in Yaesha and N’Erud, extending the game’s content.
