2019's Remnant: From The Ashes was a fun mix of Souls-like RPG mechanics and survival horror action. Developer Gunfire Games has announced it is prepping the launch of their next major update for the game, adding in features that push more on the game's randomized elements.

Coming to PC on April 28--with PS4 and Xbox One versions sometime later in 2020--the Swamps of Corsus DLC overhauls the existing realm of Corsus to include new monsters, loot, and a bevy of new areas and optional dungeons to uncover. As the game's first premium DLC, priced at $10, the Swamps of Corsus aims to add a suite of new mid-to-endgame content for existing players. But the most significant change that this expansion will introduce is a new roguelike mode called Survival.

At PAX East 2020, we spent some time getting an early look at the game's newest mode. Essentially, Survival is a standalone mode isolated from the main game that refashions Remnant's mechanics into a roguelike, putting all players on an even playing field as they start a new journey. In the beginning, you get to choose your character's perks and loadout before making your way out into the fight. Survival leans closer into the randomization element, resulting in a journey where you'll be visiting an assortment of realms and dungeons, unlike how it was in the base game.
