What you better know
Remnant 2 isone of my favorite games from 2023.
It was a brilliant, hard-fought journey for the entire experience.
Vibrant colors offset the dark contrasting shadows.
They were kind enough to show me an early preview of The Forgotten Kingdom.
Let’s go through some of the details first:
This interview has been edited for grammar and clarity.
It’s a visual feast that draws you into the game’s world.
Vibrant colors offset the dark contrasting shadows.
Cindy went on to explain,We really wanted to explore a more vibrant color palette.
It’s this beautiful, almost vial luminescence-style jungle.
So those creatures were just like a snippet that we showed off in the base game.
The Invoker class definitely looks magical on a spiritual level.
We’re in a civilization where tons of living stone creatures have been lying dormant for many years.
Clearly, your arrival has disturbed the presence of these dormant creatures.
From what I saw during my preview, the world itself is your enemy.
Plants rise from the ground near-randomly, and terrifying cobblestone enemies rock toward the player character.
I was frustrated that I wasn’t the one playing the game!
This is done to allow the world to be a critical storytelling component.
The overworld now features living, breathing story elements, enhancing the immersion and narrative of the game.
People really seemed to dig that.
So we’re continuing it in this one by having a memorable overworld.
It’s this beautiful, almost vial luminescence-style jungle.
Ben and Cindy are right.
That’s not to say cutscenes aren’t prevalent in The Forgotten Kingdom.
We’ve updated almost everything.
The balance thing is not necessarily new content, but it’s going to make the game feel fresh.
Things like hearts, necklaces, guns, and traits.
We even reworked some traits because, you know, people memed on the Wayfayer trait.
So we addressed that.
This is a massive patch for progression as well.
Looks like a boss location.. Well, anywhere does if you think about it long enough!
For fans returning, their favorite builds could feel entirely different, and in a good way.
I immensely respect this as someone who loathes balance patches marked by a significant amount of nerfs.
Looking at you Borderlands 3, I’ll never forget what you did to my boy!
Look out Link, Mike is gonna show you how it’s done.
We’re not going to short you on content, ever.
They’re passionate and I’m here for it.
I’ll cover the gun in a moment.
I can’t wait to see red splattered across the environment.
First, the Kiln boss.
I love Remnant for its use of non-typical boss fight mechanics.
I hope we’re in store for more.
Using iframes will be essential to escape its radiant beams of death.
No ads, or anything like that.
The Kiln then opened itself, revealing something underneath that appeared open for attack.
It was humorous to watch him pretend to be bad.
All in an effort to hide the later stages of the fight.
That’s where most of my preview time stopped.
A firearm that Halo fans will find somewhat familiar.
For players returning, you know what you’re in store for.
You could play an Outriders, or a Gears, or some other great third-person shooter.
