Remnant 2’s Procedural Generation is a Double-Edged Sword

Even though most would likely consider it an afterthought compared to the moment-to-moment gameplay, many of Remnant 2‘s mechanics are supported by the game’s story and overarching narrative. Similar to its predecessor, Remnant 2 drops players into a post-apocalyptic Earth that has been decimated by an interdimensional species of sentient trees called The Root. The Root have basically laid waste to countless worlds across the multiverse, creating a perfect setup for players to use the World Stone as a means to hop from dimension to dimension and track down the missing denizens from Ward 13. Outside being a framing device for the game’s varied settings, this narrative conceit is also a perfect support for Remnant 2‘s procedural generation.
