With today's update, crossplay is not the only thing coming to Remnant 2. Last October's fan-favorite event, Aberration Domination, will return for a limited time. Players can squad up with their friends and take on hordes of Aberrations across all worlds. Defeating Aberrations earns players Corrupted Shards, which can be used to craft corrupted variants of five weapons: Savior, Twisted Arbalest, Sorrow, Cube Gun, and Nebula.
Aberration Domination will be available starting February 29 and will last until March 5.
Remnant 2 is currently available on Xbox and PC to subscribers of Xbox Game Pass (excluding Core). The first DLC, The Awakened King, was released in November 2023. Gunfire Games has announced that a second DLC and additional content for Remnant 2 will be coming in the future. Still unsure if you want to squad up and save the world?
