Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
New Gameplay Trailer for RUINER 2
Reikon Games reveals a deeper look at RUINER 2 with the first official gameplay trailer. The sequel transforms the franchise from a top-down shooter into a Cyberpunk Action RPG set in Rengkok, a megacity where corporate power and street violence are the only constants. Rengkok has one rule: death must be earned.
DISCOVER THE RUINER UNIVERSE
RUINER 2 expands the scale and lore of the original game. This experience is designed for both lone wolves and teams, as the game supports solo play and co-op for up to 3 players. Whether fighting through the neon-soaked streets of Rengkok or its industrial depths, the challenge scales to meet the power of your Roster.
THE SHELL SYSTEM
The Shell System is the heart of RUINER 2’s gameplay evolution. Players collect combat bodies called "Shells" to add to their Shell Roster and swap between them instantly mid-fight. Each Shell has its own abilities, distinct playstyle, and equipment. Chain abilities across Shells to exploit lethal synergies and survive in Rengkok.
CHARACTER PROGRESSION
The depth of RUINER 2 is reflected in its multilayered character progression. Each Shell has its own Active Skill Tree that upgrades tactical abilities. The Passive Skill Tree applies across the entire roster, shaping how all Shells perform. The multilayered character progression ensures that no two players are built the same way. Your Roster is your build.
ITEMIZATION AND GEAR
Rengkok is unforgiving - only those who constantly push their gear to the limit will last. Players hunt items across rarity tiers, each with unique stat combinations that change how a Shell performs in combat. Finding the right gear is essential for optimizing your Roster and developing deadly synergies.
ENDGAME CHALLENGES
Beyond the campaign, RUINER 2 offers replayable endgame modes. Players explore Wastelands and conquer Dungeons, with difficulty that scales as far as you're willing to push. The rarest gear is reserved for those who push the difficulty to its limits.
RUINER 2 is currently in development for PC and is available for wishlisting on Steam.
You can also pick up RUINER at a new discount of 90% off ahead of RUINER 2.
