Remnant 2 is finally capping off its trilogy of planned DLC with The Dark Horizon, which provides players with additional areas to explore in one of the most interesting biomes from the base game, as well as the new Warden archetype to find and equip. Whether you’ve played the two previous DLCs or simply want to check out what this fresh batch of content brings to the table, we’ll tell you how you can get started below.

How to start The Dark Horizon DLC

The first thing you’ll need to do to access The Dark Horizon DLC is to be certain you’ve purchased and downloaded it. It’s available as a standalone version from your respective storefront for $10, or you can pick up the $25 bundle, which includes the two previous DLCs as well: The Awakened King and The Forgotten Kingdom. We’d recommend opting for the latter, as it’s the best deal and will net you all three DLCs for $5 cheaper, each offering you new areas, archetypes, weapons, and more.

Once you’ve purchased and downloaded The Dark Horizon DLC, you can access it by visiting a World Stone and opening Adventure Mode — provided that you’ve completed the N’erud biome at least once, that is. With that out of the way, simply select “Reroll Adventure Mode” and choose The Dark Horizon: One Shot. This will grant you exclusively DLC content your first time through rather than filling your game with older content. However, after you complete this initial run, any subsequent playthroughs of N’erud will piece together DLC areas with main campaign content.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s style is its substance
A distorted Eiffel Tower looms over a city that looks similar to Paris

From its establishing shot of the Eiffel Tower bent in on itself, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wants you to know it is very French, if a little twisted. The turn-based RPG revels in the aesthetic of developer Sandfall Interactive’s home country, which often helps to distinguish the game from its many high-profile influences. As a tale of death and grief it’s hard not to make comparisons to genre titans such as Final Fantasy X and Lost Odyssey. And sure, the themes are similar, but did Tidus ever wear a beret? I don’t think so.

Much of the overt French aesthetic of Clair Obscur can seem like a surface level coat of paint. Yet there is much more to Sandfall Interactive’s adoption of the Belle Époque style in this dark fantasy facsimile of France. With just a little understanding of French history, it becomes clear that this isn’t a case of style over substance -- the style is the substance.
