Summary

  • The Dark Horizon will be the final DLC for Remnant 2, set to launch in September 2024 on ancient world N'Erud.
  • Gunfire Games plans to introduce a brand-new game mode and progression system alongside The Dark Horizon DLC.
  • Fans support the delay for quality assurance, eager to see what enhancements The Dark Horizon will bring to Remnant 2.

Developer Gunfire Games has revealed a name and release window for the third DLC for Remnant 2. Named The Dark Horizon, it will be the last DLC released for Remnant 2, signaling the final piece of major content fans can expect from the game.

July 25 marked the first anniversary of Remnant 2, and the game has experienced a prolific life during that year. Remnant 2 was a bestseller even from the game's launch, topping the Steam charts, netting positive reviews, and even overtaking powerhouses such as CSGO and Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam's top sellers page. The previous two expansions, The Forgotten Kingdom and The Awakened King, sought to enhance the experience with more dungeons, equipment, and lore, and now it seems like The Dark Horizon is looking to close off with the most expansive DLC for Remnant 2.

The Dark Horizon DLC for Remnant 2 is set to launch sometime in September 2024 and will find players returning to the ancient dead world of N'Erud, uncovering the mystery of a bizarre phenomenon that has taken hold within. Upon the game's launch, Gunfire Games confirmed that the three DLC packs for Remnant 2 would be dropped within one year of release, meaning that The Dark Horizon is going to arrive later than scheduled. Gunfire Games acknowledges this, stating that while it is not happy about the delay, Gunfire Games is grateful for all the support Remnant 2 has received over the past year, and reinforces the goal of making The Dark Horizon the most "expansive" DLC for Remnant 2, using the extra time to make it the best experience possible for fans.

Remnant 2: The Dark Horizon Will Launch in September 2024

Not much has been revealed about what The Dark Horizon will contain, besides a brief plot summary revolving around the world of N'Erud. Gunfire Games did share that it is working on a brand-new game mode that aims to be freely available, as well as a new progression system, that will presumably be released in tandem with The Dark Horizon. What exactly these changes will entail is yet to be seen, but given how Remnant 2 already has a unique progression system with its archetypes, fans are interested in seeing what exactly is in store for them.

The news of the delay is being taken well, with fans favoring quality over quantity, and being happy to wait so long as it results in a better final product. Given that Remnant 2 recently exploded in popularity due to featuring on PS Plus Extra, it's understandable that Gunfire Games wants to ensure nothing is rushed. With a slew of new players trying the game for the first time, the release of a good DLC could be what keeps them hooked, and with the promise of more information regarding The Dark Horizon coming soon, all we can do is wait.
