The game's storyline is set in a world on the brink of extinction, where players must fight to survive against hordes of monsters and other players. The game is once again set in a procedurally generated world, which means that each playthrough is unique. Players can choose to play alone or with up to three other players in co-op mode. The game features a new cast of characters, each with their own unique abilities and weapons.
Remnant 2 takes the concept of procedural generation and "cranks it up tenfold". All players spawn and start off in different biomes and levels. The game features a variety of weapons, including guns, melee weapons, and magic spells. Players can also upgrade their weapons and armour as they progress through the game. The game also features a crafting system, which allows players to create new weapons and items using materials they find in the game world.
