![]() My guess is that the sales numbers exceeded their expectations but the active player count was rather dissapointing and now they need to figure out what to do moving forward. I guess this is also why they called this DLC "the last DLC" so they seem to be aware that they communicated more than they now plan to deliver and use this bizarre phrasing to curb expectations. Everything they communicated to the customer base is that they were in for the long run. They heavily focussed on skins, emotes and providing roadmaps for upcoming content. I read the same but I think they planned for the game to work more as a "game as a service". I don't know what would have happened to cancel future plans if they had any. ![]() Originally posted by Bone Shaman:I read that they surpassed the numbers of sales they expected. So what do you think? Will there be a Remnant 2? Are they re-conceptualizing the franchise since their goal to have a large consistent playerbase was not met? Or is the franchise put on hold for now? I guess the announcement of Part 2 was scrapped and they polished whatever they had and put it out as a DLC. Another indicator could be that their roadmap suggested a big surprise in late 2020 (which August definitely isn't). ![]() It makes me think that this DLC are the remnants (no pun intended) of a full game that was supposed to take place in multiple locations like part one. "Revisiting" an old very short area and simultaneously adding a new but also rather short new planet seems a bit odd. The DLC also features a new tileset on earth before dropping the player into Reisum. It seems like the amount of story was supposed to happen over a longer game. For one, there is a very heavy focus on story with a number of NPCs that are introduced rather abruptly. However, when looking at this DLC I can't help but feel that this is what was supposed to be Remnant 2 and they scrapped it. There is also a Twitter post that was released before Remnant 1 where one of the devs was already thinking out loud that they would want to do a part 2. So I've finished the DLC now and while the game doesn't exactly end on a cliffhanger the ending seems to indicate that the final boss wasn't the highest entity in the chain of command.
