Remnant: From the Ashesis an ultra-toughSouls-like gamewith a heavy focus on co-op gameplay. The original version ofRemnantprovides plenty of challenge for players, but now the game has been updated with an even more challenging mode that will push even the bestRemnantplayers to the limit.

Remnant: From the Asheshas added a new Hardcore Mode to celebrate the game selling 1 million units. TheRemnantHardcore Mode requires players to beat the game with only one life, which is something that very few players will likely accomplish in the game. TheRemnantHardcore Mode only lets players play online with other Hardcore Mode players, with no option for matchmaking. This may be a bit inconvenient for some, but the Hardcore Mode rewards may make it worth it in the long run.

Remnantwill reward players for defeating bosses on Hardcore Mode, as they will dropspecial new ringswith “powerful effects.” Luckily, if players collect rings and their Hardcore Mode character dies, these items will still be available to use for the rest of the characters on a player’s account. This even includes new Hardcore Mode characters, which gives the game an almost roguelike twist.

Hardcore Mode is likely to appeal to the most dedicatedRemnantfans, but those who are looking for something a bit more manageable should note that even more content is in the works for the game. The developers have confirmed thatRemnantwill be getting more DLC throughout 2020, so there should be plenty for fans of the game to sink their teeth into in the new year.

This Hardcore Mode update isn’t the first update thatRemnanthas received since launch. ApreviousRemnantupdateadded a brand new dungeon for players to explore, with new story content along with an Adventure Mode. This update was well-received by fans, and there’s no reason to believe why this new Hardcore Mode update won’t be met with a similar response.

In the meantime, those who have yet to pull the trigger onRemnantmay want to consider doing so now that the game has even more content than it did at launch. In ourRemnant: From the Ashesreview, we had high praise for the game, and it’s definitely something fans of theDark Soulsseries should try out.
