Play the surprise hit of 2019 for free
What has been announced now? Remnant: From the Ashes will be available for free through the Epic Games Store from August 13 to August 20. If you have an account, you can easily download the game during the specified time and play it with your friends as you like.
What’s special about the promotion? On August 20, the new expansion of the co-op shooter, “Subject 2923,” will be launched. This is set to conclude the story of Remnant. The Root has been weakened by your previous actions, and you are now trying to eliminate it once and for all. More about “Subject 2923” will be revealed by MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn in his preview.
You can start playing Remnant for free and then experience the complete story with the DLC that will be released right at the end of the free promotion.
How is the game currently doing? The co-op shooter launched extremely strong in August 2019. According to Steamcharts, 48,194 players were playing simultaneously at that time. Although player numbers have decreased since then, they increased again with the release of the major DLC “Swamps of Corsus” in April.
The overall ratings on Steam are at 84% and “Very Positive.” Here are some comments about the game:
- PKCarnage writes on Steam: “Great game, damn good co-op experience. The gunplay is solid and the modifications from the bosses make this game a blast.”
- Tuvao says: “After 65 hours, I finally finished the game on the difficulty ‘Apocalypse’. I must say, Remnant: From the Ashes is an excellent game.”
- S̸hu̴r̷aB̷̛l̵a̶c̷k̶ views the game somewhat critically: “Remnant is mostly beautifully designed and has a highly addictive gameplay at the start. Because there is a rotation of boss fights, it is also worth quickly replaying the game multiple times to see who you have to face this time. But that brings us to the biggest problem why the rating is negative. The story can easily be completed in one day, and after a maximum of two days, everything you want to see and have is gone.”
Will you get Remnant: From the Ashes from the Epic Games Store? Or do you already own the game?
