In a nutshell
- Wolcen 2 revealed at Future Games Show, gamescom 2026
- Dark fantasy ARPG with solo or 4‑player co‑op
- First closed playtest now live via Wolcen Studio Playtest Program
Wolcen Studio announces Wolcen 2 at gamescom 2026, a dark fantasy ARPG with solo and co‑op play.
Early Access begins in 2027, with closed playtests now open.
Salvation Demands Sacrifice
Set years after Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, Wolcen 2 thrusts players into a world on the brink of collapse. Anathea, goddess of the Rift, lies mortally wounded, and a prophecy promises salvation at a terrible cost. As the Warlord, bastard son of the Shadow God, and his companions, players must decide whether to embrace fate or carve a brutal path toward freedom.
Build Your Own Archetype
True to the series’ philosophy, Wolcen 2 features no predefined classes. Players choose weapons, unlock and customize abilities, and refine builds through passive talents and gear. Whether you prefer a melee mage, spellblade, tank caster, or gunslinger, every choice shapes your evolving identity.
Fast, rhythmic combat pits players against waves of enemies and brutal bosses. Chain abilities, set up devastating combos, and unleash Shadow Form to overwhelm foes when the odds turn dire.
After the story concludes, players can dive into Conquest, faction wars across dynamic battlefields, or ascend the Tower of Wonders for tailored rewards and escalating challenges. Both modes support long‑term progression, item hunting, and build experimentation.
Community‑Driven Development
Learning from past lessons, Wolcen 2 introduces peer‑to‑peer multiplayer hosting, ensuring co‑op sessions aren’t tied to centralized servers. “Playing the campaign with friends will not depend entirely on infrastructure controlled by us,” said Bogdan Oprescu, President of Wolcen Studio.
Release Plans
Wolcen 2 enters Steam Early Access in 2027, with full release planned for Windows PC and current‑gen consoles. Fans can wishlist the game today and join the closed playtest via the Wolcen Studio Playtest Program.
