Remnant 2 - Designed as a Co-op Experience

Like its predecessor Remnant 2 is designed as a co-op game:

Remnant II is aiming to be more of the same, and that's alright

Co-op shooters with RPG elements feel like they're a dime a dozen these days, but when Remnant: From the Ashes released in 2019 it did so to widespread critical acclaim; now with Remnant II, Gunfire Games aims to build on what was already a solid foundation by delivering an expanded and upgraded experience. We had the chance to get hands-on with the upcoming release last week during Summer Game Fest, and we're interested to see more in the weeks and months head - especially when it comes to co-op multiplayer.

Between all of the above changes, and the improvements to how your playable character controls - that alone would be enough to make us excited for what the rest of Remnant II has in store for us. That being said, we do have a number of concerns after our hands-on with the game. Namely, the lack of crossplay at launch. Now, Remnant II is far from the only title to have skipped crossplay; but with recent games releases putting much more of an emphasis on the feature, especially upcoming titles that were also at SGF, it's hard not to feel at least a little awkward about its absence. The reason this sticks out to me, namely, is that while other press had the opportunity to play Remnant II in co-op, my session is singleplayer only - and while I had a good time, and I do believe that the game will be worth playing even solo, it's undeniable that Remnant II has been designed as a co-op experience first and foremost.
