Remnant 2‘s second DLC,The Forgotten Kingdom, is right around the corner. The upcoming expansion will launch on 23 April, and with Gunfire recentlydoubling downon clever player builds, we can expect things to get pretty wild.
However, it faces steep competition from another juggernaut.EldenRing‘sShadow of the ErdtreeDLC is set to release on 21 June, and has a gargantuan level of hype behind it. With both of these eagerly anticipated expansions on the horizon, choosing between one can be tough. However,The Forgotten Kingdomhas the edge in one crucial area.
The Forgotten KingdomHas Pricing On Its Side
Cost-conscious players may favorThe Forgotten Kingdom;priced at a budget-friendly $9.99 as a standalone purchase. However, a $24.99 bundle exists for those seeking all threeRemnant 2DLCs, the third of which is yet to be announced. Players who own the game’s Ultimate Edition get the DLC for free.

Meanwhile,Elden Ringfans will have to shell out a bit more. Nearly four times as much, in fact, becauseShadow of the Erdtree‘s Standard Edition carries a $39.99 price tag, while bundles with the base game included can reach an eye-watering $99.99.
Shadow Of The ErdtreeIs Bigger, ButTFKIsn’t Far Behind
You may thinkThe Forgotten Kingdom‘s lower price means it’s quite light on content, but both expansions provide fresh narrative experiences. The Forgotten Kingdom transports players to the Yaesha jungle, where they’ll confront a vengeful spirit and unveil the secrets of a lost tribe. New weaponry, items, and a nature-oriented Invoker archetype cap off the substantial list of additions.
Content-wise, though, you just can’t beatShadow of the Erdtree. FromSoftware says the DLC will take around 30 hours to complete, making it theirlargest by far. And the trailer certainly proves it with a huge brand-new map, new bosses, added lore, and everything in between.Elden Ringfans have been going nuts trying to figure out who this newMessmercharacter is.

Remnant 2players can accessThe Forgotten Kingdomvia the in-game ‘Adventure Mode’, but those still using last-gen hardware (PS4 and Xbox One) will be left out, as the game is only available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Conversely,Shadow of the Erdtreewill beavailableon both last-gen and current-gen hardware, further scoring it points for accessibility.
For those who enjoy co-op adventures,Remnant 2offers a one-up, as owners ofThe Forgotten Kingdomcan invite non-owners to join their quests, though only those with the DLC can utilize its exclusive gear.Shadow of the Erdtreewill feature co-op, but it’s currently unknown if it’ll improve overElden Ring‘s multiplayer in any way.
Remnant 2 Hits Lofty Milestone of Over One Million Sales SO FAR!
You can’t really go wrong with any of these two expansions.Shadow of the Erdtreewill no doubt be a glorious experience, but for those who can’t afford to splurge $40 on an expansion, the budget-mindedRemnant 2: The Forgotten Kingdomis a sell that’s beyond compelling.
