As players that peruse this list will see, the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of Remnant 2 come with some bonuses. Here are details on those bonuses, which Soulslike fans can use to determine which of the editions is best suited for them:
- 3 Remnant: From the Ashes Armor Sets: Purchasers of the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions will get "early access" to the Elder, Radiant, and Void armor sets that appeared in Remnant: From the Ashes. Notably, fans can also unlock these sets through standard gameplay.
- 3 Day Early Access: Players that buy the Ultimate Edition can start playing on July 21 at 4pm PDT.
- Survival Pack: Ultimate Edition purchasers will receive 2 Mudtooth Elixir (EXP Bonus), 5 Bloodroot, 3 Ammo Boxes, 1000 Scrap, and 10 Iron.
- DLC Bundle with 3 Packs: Specific details on Remnant 2's DLC have not yet been revealed, though it is confirmed that it will include "new story elements, creatures, and environments." The developer has also indicated that all DLC will be released within one year of the game's launch.
Which Edition of Remnant 2 is Best?
When picking an edition to purchase, it is recommended that players choose between the Standard and Ultimate Editions. This is due to the fact that the only incentives to buy the Deluxe Edition are the three armor sets, and those can be obtained through standard gameplay.
With respect to selecting between the Standard and Ultimate Editions, the Early Access and DLC Bundle are the primary things to consider. Indeed, fans that want to start playing as soon as possible and enjoyed Remnant: From the Ashes' DLC offerings may want to spring from the Ultimate Edition, while players that are less certain about their commitment to the game are likely better off with the Standard Edition.
Remnant 2 Pre-Order Bonuses
Regardless of the edition that a player purchases, everyone that pre-orders the game will get "early access" to Remnant 2's Gunslinger archetype. Fans that are not interested in pre-purchasing the game should not worry, though, as they can unlock this DPS-focused class through standard gameplay.
Remnant 2 releases on July 25 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
