Remnant 2 has been one of 2023's biggest hits, and it's fair to say this is a game that took many by surprise. Not, perhaps, fans of the original Remnant on PlayStation 4, and not those who loved the studio's previous work on the Darksiders series of games.

The studio has a history of creating evocative and original worlds, its artists are a talented bunch who have managed to eke out their own style in a genre dominated by the mediaeval body horror of From Software, in games like Elden Ring. Since its release in July Remnant 2, a co-op shooter in the Soulsborne genre, has sold over one million copies and its new DLC, The Awakened King, is being eagerly played by fans.
