Remnant 2’s Third and Final DLC, The Dark Horizon, Revealed [IGN]

The announcement was made a year after the successful launch of the co-op shooter sequel, dubbed ‘Dark Souls with guns’, alongside a release window of September 2024.

“Players will return to the necropolis world of N’Erud only to discover that a bizarre phenomenon has taken hold,” Gunfire teased.

The September 2024 release window for The Dark Horizon amounts to a delay of sorts, given Gunfire had committed to releasing all three DLCs in Remnant 2’s first year.

“We’ve made the difficult decision to move back the release of our third DLC, so that we have more time to deliver you the best possible experience that you deserve,” Gunfire explained.

“Our goal is for The Dark Horizon to be the most expansive DLC for Remnant 2. Not only have we packed this DLC full of even more of the Remnant greatness you’ve come to expect, we’re also hard at work on a brand-new game mode that will be free for everyone that we’ll reveal soon along with a new progression system.

“While we’re not happy about delaying this DLC release – one you’ve been itching to jump into already – we feel very lucky to see your ongoing support and loyalty to the Remnant franchise. The past year has been nothing short of amazing, and we’re glad that Remnant 2 and its DLCs have brought you as much joy as it has brought us creating this world for you. That said, we’re not quite done yet, more news about The Dark Horizon DLC will come soon!

“Thank you once again for your continued support and for being an essential part of the Remnant family. We are excited for what the future holds and look forward to sharing more adventures with you.”

Remnant 2 launched in July 2023 to significant praise from players and critics alike, and sold more than one million copies in its first week across Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, and PC. It went on to take down Diablo 4 as July’s best-selling game in the U.S. By the end of September 2023, it had sold over two million units.

IGN’s 9/10 review called Remnant 2 “a triumphant sequel that doesn’t just reimagine the soulslike genre as a co-op looter-shooter, but absolutely nails that concept in nearly every way.”

With Remnant 2 DLC wrapping up soon, thoughts inevitably turn to Gunfire’s next game and the possibility of Remnant 3.
