Souls-like looter shooter Remnant 2 announced its second DLC expansion with a brand-new trailer. Here’s a quick summary of everything we can expect from The Forgotten Kingdom DLC releasing on April 23.
A lost tribe in Yaesha and an angry goddess
The Forgotten Kingdom will include a new story set in the Root-ridden world of Yaesha, though the areas showcased in the trailer have a markedly different aesthetic from the other Yaesha areas we’ve seen. Players will discover the history of a mysterious lost tribe, led by a Pan who refers to the tribe as his “brethren.” The new areas are ridden with enemies of living stone, who serve an ancient stone spirit named Lydusa.
Why did this tribe disappear? What’s the deal with Lydusa? Why does this part of Yaesha remind me of Avatar’s Pandora? We’ll find out when The Forgotten Kingdom becomes available for Remnant 2 players.
Everything new in The Forgotten Kingdom DLC
In addition to the new story, The Forgotten Kingdom will feature new dungeons. Like the rest of the game, the DLC dungeons will probably have an element of randomness, encouraging players to experience the region in different ways.
With the new areas come new enemies and bosses to fight, and it looks like the majority of new enemies are made of living stone. They include various iterations of stone golems — some large, some small, and some that look like vases on legs. I can’t help but wonder if there will be loot in the vases when I break them.
A new Archetype is being introduced called the Invoker. This new class draws upon the nature spirits of Yaesha for its abilities, which will be revealed in a future announcement.
The Forgotten Kingdom will also bring new gear, including rings, amulets, weapons, and weapon mods. The trailer also showcased at least one new armor set. Time to get shooting and looting.
When will The Forgotten Kingdom DLC release?
The Forgotten Kingdom will release on April 23, 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The retail price for the standalone DLC will be $9.99. If you buy the Remnant 2 DLC Bundle for $24.99, you’ll get access to The Forgotten Kingdom as well as the previous DLC, The Awakened King, and a third DLC installment later this year. Players who own the Ultimate edition of Remnant 2 will automatically be granted access to The Forgotten Kingdom on release day.
