Today Gearbox Publishing and Gunfire Games announced the release window of Remnant 2.
The game, which is the sequel of the successful Remnant: From the Ashes, will be released in summer 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It's a Souls-like action-adventure RPG with a twist. Instead of fighting with melee weapons and spells, players have an arsenal of firearms at their disposal, which is quite a departure from the tropes created by Souls games, albeit you could say that Bloodborne did have some gunpowder weapons.
Alongside the announcement, we also get a new gameplay trailer that showcases a super-cute good boy who can certainly prove himself as useful as he is adorable for the Handler Archetype.
You can watch it below.

"Remnant 2 is the sequel to the best-selling game Remnant: From the Ashes that pits survivors of humanity against new deadly creatures and god-like bosses across terrifying worlds. Play solo or co-op with two other friends to explore the depths of the unknown to stop an evil from destroying reality itself.

A mix of methodical and frenetic ranged/melee combat returns with cunning enemies and large-scale boss battles. Choose specific gear and weapons to optimize for the different biomes and battles ahead. Bosses will bring high-level players to team up to overcome the challenge and try to obtain the biggest rewards.
Players can travel alone or with friends as a team through strange new worlds and beyond, overrun by mythical creatures and deadly foes while trying to stay alive. There are multiple worlds to explore with different types of creatures, weapons, and items. Utilize and upgrade discovered items to take on tougher challenges.
Branching quest lines, augments, crafting, and loot rewards will test the resolve of even the most hardened players in dynamically generated dungeons and areas. Playthroughs will feel challenging, varied, and rewarding as players succeed against unrelenting odds. Various stories are woven throughout the different worlds, encouraging exploration and multiple revisits.
Expanded Archetype system provides players with unique passive bonuses and stunning powers. Multiple Archetypes can be unlocked during play, leveled up, and equipped together for a variety of play styles."
