Perfect World Entertainment have confirmed the release date for Remnant: From the Ashes – a third-person survival-action shooter from Gunfire Games (Darksiders III).
David Adams (Gunfire Games Co-Founder) explained how “Remnant: From the Ashes is one of the studio’s most ambitious projects; it challenges how we traditionally play with design, to create the game’s signature dynamically-generated environments. The result: worlds we know will thrill players with intense gunplay, endless replayability and vast secrets for them to uncover.”
Yoon Im (Perfect World Entertainment Senior VIie President of Global Publishing) also offered their thoughts on why they picked up the project. “Gunfire’s vision for a survival-action shooter, with exciting moment-to-moment gameplay, was one we knew we had to help bring to life. Remnant: From the Ashes will deliver a fresh experience for fans of challenging combat scenarios and rewarding survival-action co-op gameplay. Be ready to fight, adapt and overcome!”
These comments certainly seem reflected in claims of the up to four-player game having over one hundred enemies, twenty bosses, dynamically-generated levels and an upgrading gear-centric progression system.

In Remnant: From the Ashes, interdimensional beings known as the Root have decimated humanity, leaving the world ravaged by the invasion. As a survivor seeking to reclaim Earth from monsters, players must venture beyond the World Stone, a relic enabling travel between worlds. Traverse bizarre and beautiful dynamically-generated environments filled with unpredictable enemies, potential allies and untold secrets. Each journey beyond humanity’s stronghold will challenge players at every turn, forcing them to learn through victory and defeat as they amass an arsenal of weapons, armor and mods to create the ultimate survivor. Game features include:
-
Intense Combat – The many foes of Remnant: From the Ashes each possess their own set of attacks and tactics. Playstyle is defined by combining powerful firearms, melee weapons and mods that imbue survivors with the tools to rise against any challenge.
-
Flexible Gear-based Progression – Every journey beyond the stronghold on Earth is an opportunity to slay powerful bosses and gather valuable resources that will upgrade characters, allowing players to venture confidently into even more dangerous environments.
-
Mysterious Story – The Root invasion of Earth had enormous consequences for our world and others. After years of decimating humanity, its remnants begin to strike back. A tower looming above players’ strongholds may hold the answer, but they must travel through the World Stone to unknown worlds for the answers.
-
Endless Challenges Await – Randomized worlds, rewards and enemy combinations offer an endless combination of challenges with each playthrough. Utilizing knowledge gained through each death is the surest way to achieve victory.
-
Epic Bosses & Enemies – Each of Remnant: From the Ashes’ four distinct worlds is filled with dozens of deadly denizens totaling over 100 unique enemy types. Surviving the hordes leads players to one of the game’s 20+ world bosses, each requiring their own tactics in order to defeat them and obtain one of their unique rewards.
-
Host-based Co-op – Players can teleport beyond the World Stone solo for a greater challenge, or alongside up to two other survivors to even the odds and increase chances of survival.
Remnant: From the Ashes launches August 20th for Windows PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
