Remnant: From the Ashes story trailer

Just casually looking for the source of Death. No biggie.

Gunfire Games have a good history of making games with murderous monsters in them. The studio cut their teeth with games like Darksiders III, emphasizing monster design and battle interaction. They’re taking that knowledge and pushing it to the limits with their latest project.

Remnant: From the Ashes takes a world in chaos, adds in beast hunting, and mixes in a story of interdimensional invasion. Up to three players can take on the world together, selecting one of three “Archetype” classes, and dimension hop across alternate realities to chase down the source of evil.

What’s perhaps most intriguing is that the game also manages to throw in scavenging and survival ideas, so that it’s not just another action game. This sucker seems to go a few layers deep, and aims to check off several boxes for what we’re interested in these days.

Remnant: From the Ashes launches August 20th for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
