Yesterday marked the release of Remnant II, a continuation of the popular Remnant: From the Ashes from 2019. The studio responsible for this project, Gunfire Games, has reason to be pleased, as the launch was very successful.

  1. The game is achieving impressive activity results - the release day record was 82,742 concurrent users on Steam.
  2. Such a result makes Remnant II the biggest hit in the output of Gunfire Games - the previous record holder was Remnant: From the Ashes with 48,289 player at peak.
  3. It is worth mentioning that these impressive results do not fully reflect the popularity of the PC version of the game, as it is also available on Epic Games Store.
  4. Just how much Remnant II has appealed to gamers can also be well seen from their reviews - on Steam 84% of them praise the game, which is categorized as a "very positive" reception.

Below we cite some reviews from Steam:

"An excellent sequel to an extremely interesting game. I've waited, lived to see it, and so far I'm having a great time. The incredibly beautifully designed post-apocalyptic world is back, and so far the game seems to be a perfectly polished sequel - whether looking at it through the prism of gameplay, story, climate or combat. And, I'll be damned, but the dog-eared character class is honey on my heart!"

"Elden Ring with guns. Remnant II offers everything the first game was, but is better in every way."

"Remnant 2 makes the entire first game look like a demo. Every aspect of the game has been greatly improved, from combat, through loot, to graphics. The only downside is that traits seem harder to acquire and aren't as interesting, but with archetypes and more inventory slots, I wonder if I really miss the fact that the traits are more focused."

Remnant 2 is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.

Not only gamers have warmly welcomed the sequel. Remnant II also received good marks from industry media. On OpenCritic the game has an average rating of 80%.
