Following Remnant 2's Awakened King DLC from November is its second DLC, The Forgotten Kingdom, now confirmed for release on April 23. It follows a few months of silence from Gunfire Games, but given that both Remnant 2 DLCs were announced about two weeks before release, it feels like a reliable pattern for the eventual release of DLC 3.

As many fans know, Remnant 2 features a DLC Bundle consisting of three-story DLC packs, with The Forgotten Kingdom constituting the second release. Fans can either purchase The Forgotten Kingdom individually for $9.99, or they can purchase the whole bundle for $24.99, granting them access to The Awakened King, The Forgotten Kingdom (upon release), and the third DLC. And with everything confirmed so far for The Forgotten Kingdom, it seems like the individual purchase is quite the deal and the bundle doubles down on that even further.

Remnant 2 Forgotten Kingdom DLC Story

In Remnant 2's Forgotten Kingdom DLC, players will be facing down new threats to bring some sort of peace to the titular kingdom. They will be piecing together the lost history of the lost Yaesha tribe, while dealing with an Ancient Stone Spirit called Lydusa. This spirit is wrathful and seeking vengeance, as players engage with Lydusa's living stones across a land haunted by torment, treachery, and death.

Remnant 2 Forgotten Kingdom DLC Feature List

Players can expect the below, and much more, when Remnant 2's Forgotten Kingdom DLC releases.

  • New Storyline, Dungeons, and Area in the World of Yaesha
  • New Enemies and Bosses, with unique abilities to challenge even the most dedicated players.
    • An example of a new Mini-boss is the Cinderclad Monolith, a being forged of living stone, molten embed, and a giant inner crystal. It keeps players on their toes with sand-based attacks, an extensive rock tendril, and ranged abilities with molten earth.

  • New Archetype: The Invoker - Players will harness Nature Spirits and the power of the Jungle
    • More details coming week of April 15

  • New, Powerful Gear: New weapons, modifications, and items such as amulets and rings.
  • DLC Platforms and Release Date:
    • PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X
    • $9.99, or included in a 3-DLC bundle for $24.99

  • The Forgotten Kingdom will be accessible via the World Stone.
  • DLC Size:
    • Comparable to Remnant 2's Awakened King Length
    • Described as "about 50% of a full base game biome."
    • 3-4 Hours. However, cannot be completed 100% in a single playthrough.

  • The DLC does not impact Remnant 2's main storyline.

Remnant 2's Awakened King DLC received generally favorable reviews at launch, with Metacritic's Metascore being an 82. Knowing that The Forgotten Kingdom is more of the same, albeit with its own unique qualities and storyline, is an exciting venture. It'll be interesting to see where it has perhaps improved, but ultimately, as long as Gunfire Games has retained the same level of quality, it stands to reason Remnant 2 players are in for a treat.
