REMNANT II REVEALED AT THE GAME AWARDS 2022
Highly Anticipated Sequel to Fan-Favorite Remnant: From the Ashes
Coming in 2023
Redwood City, CA – December 8, 2022 – Gearbox Publishing and Gunfire Games have announced Remnant II, the sequel to the best-selling game Remnant: From the Ashes, a third-person action-survival shooter that pits the last remnants of humanity against the harrowing forces of evil. Remnant II evolves the co-op survival shooter with new unseen worlds filled with deadly surprises and encounters. 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 will be available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2023.
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.
An updated Archetype system gives players more flexibility to their play style and lets groups better sync unique passive abilities and stunning powers together in co-op play. Multiple Archetypes can be unlocked, leveled up, and equipped together for a wider variety of play styles.
“It is awesome to once again partner with Gunfire Games on this highly anticipated sequel,” said Yoon Im, president of Gearbox Publishing San Francisco. “The studio’s passion for the Remnant franchise and their expertise at crafting compelling worlds along with engaging combat scenarios shines through in Remnant II. The game will be challenging and punishing, but most importantly, so much fun!”
“We are excited to delve back into the world of Remnant with the team at Gearbox Publishing,” said David Adams of Gunfire Games. “There are so many interesting stories to tell, vicious enemies to vanquish, exciting loot to grab, Archetypes to experiment with, and heart-pumping action for players to experience with their friends. We can’t wait for everyone to play it next year”

We’re celebrating our 8-year Anniversary here at Gunfire Games. 8 years! In that time, we’ve worked on and released 8 games. Herobound, Herobound: Spirit Champion, Chronos, Dead and Buried, From Other Suns, Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition, Darksiders III, and Remnant: From the Ashes. That’s a lot of content! Even more so, it’s a testament to the amazing team we’ve built at Gunfire Games. We started 8 years ago with roughly a dozen people and grown to a little shy of 100 people since then. A company is just a name and office space without fantastic people working there. We appreciate all the amazing developers who have joined us on the journey and made an immeasurable impact on the game’s we’ve released.
Speaking of games, we’ve been incredibly fortunate to have had the chance to make the games that we’ve wanted to make since we’ve started up. In case you can’t tell we love building games with expansive worlds, deep lore, and tight gameplay. We’ve found partners in publishing who have shared that passion and allowed us the space to really develop some unique titles.
What would games be without the people who play them? We’re extremely grateful for the level of passion and support the community has shown us even from the earliest days. We want to thank our fans, new and old, for the 8 years of support! Here’s to many more!
It’s been 6 years since the release of our first original game, Chronos! This was built for the ground up as an Oculus VR title. When we started development on this title we knew we wanted to create a rich world to explore, deep lore and tight combat. From initial development to completion we had less than a year of development time.
The world of Chronos served as foundation for our most recent game, Remnant: From the Ashes. A more robust and larger experience, Remnant’s deep lore and world wouldn’t have existed without Chronos.
Then, just 2 years ago we released a refined port of Chronos for non-VR platforms, called Chronos: Before the Ashes. This gave non-VR players a chance to see where it all started!
Check out the Developer Spotlight video below from just before the release of Chronos for the Oculus:
Hard to believe it’s been 2 years since Remnant: From the Ashes was first released. This is a game we had wanted to make for years prior to it’s release. If you played our VR game Chronos from 2016, or it’s non-VR version released last year, you can see the origins for the ideas of Remnant. The Dreamers, the World Stones, the boss fights, and the cryptic story telling. It all started here.
Then there was our Hit VR Game, From Other Suns, released 4 years ago in 2017. In that game we started to dabble with co-op(3 player, no less), shooter focused gameplay, a randomly generated world, and higher than average difficulty. Any one who has played From Other Suns can see the DNA of Remnant: From the Ashes in that game without a doubt.
The base game, new game modes and two DLCs later, we can’t believe the support we’ve received and the passion the community has shown for us and Remnant: From the Ashes. Thank you to all the players out there from everyone at Gunfire Games!
