Perfect World Entertainment and Gunfire Games today announced that Remnant: From the Ashes has sold more than a million units. To celebrate, on Thursday, October 31, the game will release new in-game content and rewards. This new content will enhance players’ experience and will include one of the most requested asks by fans: Hardcore Mode.
Yoon Im, COO of Perfect World Entertainment, said:
“A big thank you to all of the fans who helped Remnant: From the Ashes achieve this major milestone. Gunfire Games has made a truly special game, and it’s fantastic to see how much it has resonated with players. The team has awesome plans in the works that will continue to keep the game fresh and challenging. We’re looking forward to continuing this journey with them and all of the fans.”
Gunfire Games co-founder and president, David Adams, added:
“The response to Remnant: From the Ashes has been overwhelming and humbling. We’re excited to expand Remnant’s universe and know players will love the new game content we have in the pipe for 2020. They’ve been asking almost daily for harder and harder challenges, and we are thrilled to unveil Hardcore Mode. Let’s see who has the skills to dominate the Root and make it out alive in one shot!”
Hardcore Mode is a new game mode where death will be truly the end. Players will create a new Hardcore character and play until their first death, after which they are permanently lost. Moreover, Hardcore characters can only play online with other Hardcore characters and will not be able to random matchmake. Players will also have to manually invite friends or other stalwart Survivors to a game.
Not only that, but the most dangerous challenges will also receive great rewards, as defeating a World Boss on Hardcore mode will drop new rings with powerful effects. These items will be available to all of the characters on a player’s account (old and new, Standard and Hardcore) after they’ve obtained them. Therefore, all future characters, including those in Hardcore mode, will begin their journey with greater potential.
Remnant: From the Ashes’ latest quality of life improvements will also implement some of the most frequently requested systems. Examples include a communications wheel with access to emotes, environment pings and markers. Moreover, the upcoming update will add the ability to hide helmets, a toggle to disable tutorial prompts and more balance changes.
Lastly, the publisher released a new trailer dedicated to the game’s Hardcore Update that you can find below.
Enjoy!

??
good.
One of the more pleasant surprises of the year for me. Great game and attentive developers. The epitome of a 1st class AA game.
Still needto go back and do Leto’s Lab as I had already moved on before it released.
ist it a repetitive looter shooter though?
Not really. Dark Souls fans(I’m one of them) don’t like to hear it, but it really is DS with guns. Sure there are differences, but there are enough similarities for the comparison to be legit.
When I think of looter shooters I think of Borderlands, Destiny, The Division etc. This game is nothing like those games.
yes i show gameplay and that was what i felt its dark souls with guns, thats the problem they dont like it has guns but the atmosphere is like dark souls, i on the other hand dont like the melee combat so i dont liek dark souls.
Good to know this game isnt like those looter shooters, but what is it like? Shadow warrior 2?
No, it’s like DS with guns. Shadow Warrior is more like DOOM with progression unlocks. Fast paced, twitch skills rule and you can get hit often and still win the fight. Remnant is more methodical. The way you approach combat is just as important as your twitch skills and 1 hit can ruin your day.
interesting.

Good to hear, I’m looking forward to checking this out
Hardcore not Harcore.
I feel like DSOGaming is playing 4D Chess with me. I was not going to click and comment, then I saw Harcore written instead of Hardcore and here I am.
Forgot I had that, too many games!
