Remnant: From The Ashes, the 2019 soulslike surprise hit, is getting its first major expansion called Swamps of Corsus.
The DLC will launch later this month, April 28, on PC, with PS4 and Xbox One releases scheduled for later this year. Players new to the game will be able to purchase a new bundled version of the game which will include the base game and the Swamps of Corsus DLC. Separately, the DLC will cost $9.99.
Swamps of Corsus will include three "powerful" new weapons and mods, four new side dungeons, and new enemies including new boss battles. The soulslike game will also gain a roguelike influence with its new Survival Mode which "will have players start from nothing" and fight to acquire over 50 new items and skins. You can catch your first glimpse of the new content in the trailer below.
Remnant: From The Ashes comes from Gunfire Games, the same studio that has recently worked to revive the Darksiders series, which many of its employees once worked on. Remnant released in August of last year at the start of another busy fall for the games industry and managed to hold its own despite being a relative underdog next to massive games that came out weeks later like Borderlands 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Remnant earned "Strong" scores on OpenCritic, giving it a 78 average from 87 critics with the majority of reviewers (76%) recommending the game for play. Those hwo wish to purchase the bundled version of the game can do so on Steam for $44.99 beginning on April 28. Consoles will also offer the same bundle when the DLC hits those platforms later this year.
