Full Act 2 Update for Twin-Stick Shooter REMEDIUM Out Today
Two new locations plus new enemies, bosses and storyline all added to complete the full Act 2 Early Access update.
Limassol, Cyprus - May 27 2023. Publisher ESDigital Games and developer Sobaka Studio have today released a new content update for the Renaissance-inspired post-apocalyptic twin-stick shooter REMEDIUM via Steam Early Access and Epic Games Store. This thrilling new update completes the highly anticipated Act 2 of the game and packs in a wealth of new content to expand the world of REMEDIUM.
The new complete Act 2 update introduces two new locations—the Fort and Abbey—to the previously released Mine location. These locations contain a host of terrifying enemies and boss types for players to discover and engage in frantic twin-stick shooter action. Fans will also dive deeper into the storyline with the newly added intro cutscene, providing an engaging introduction to the world of REMEDIUM.
The Act 2 content update will also introduce new quality-of-life improvements, many of which were requested by the community already playing the Steam Early Access release. Some of these quality-of-life improvements include an updated and optimized transitioning system to seamlessly travel between game locations, a new upgrade to the save system so players can replay Act 1 or Act 2 (after starting it for the first time) at any time with their progress saved and with any weapons and upgrades already unlocked, additional balancing of battles to ensure a smooth combat experience, numerous UI and UX improvements and bug fixes and the engaging intro cut scene to set the scene of the carnage of Act 2 perfectly!
Following directly on from the devastating boss battle at the end of Act 1, REMEDIUM Act 2 opens a new chapter in the hunt for a cure to the Grey Plague and to your very survival in the world ravaged by hordes of mutants and chimeras. Armed only with their journal, players must navigate the snowy mountain paths and survive the onslaught of warring tribes of mutants spread across three village locations. In each new location, the blood thirsty mutants are protected by a terrifying and unique boss, who must be defeated in order to unveil the path to the cure for the disease and the survival of the remaining humans.

About REMEDIUM
It had been more than a century since the Grey Plague devoured the whole continent and turned almost all inhabitants into mindless chimeras, spreading the infection to any remaining survivors who managed to find refuge behind the huge walls of the fortress cities.
While foraging outside the city walls, you are attacked, and while surviving the fight, you become infected with only a short time to live before the disease takes over. Your only hope is to fight through the hordes of mutants and chimeras and find the cure before it's too late. With an arsenal of weapons at your disposal, you must survive the infected spawn’s onslaught and master the art of alchemy to craft powerful potions, injections and amalgams to boost your abilities in your search for the cure.
