After a long hiatus due to bankruptcy, Destroy All Humans! found its way back into the gaming market with a full remake of the original title back in 2020. Developer Black Forest Games is back again this time remaking Cryptosporidium’s second outing, Destroy All Humans! 2, and slapping a new label on it: Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed. If you’re wondering when Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed is set to come out, here’s what you need to know.
Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed Release Date
Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed is set to launch Aug. 30, 2022 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed will be a complete remake of the sequel set 10 years after the first game’s story. Players will follow Crypto’s journey across the globe as he aims to conquer Earth for the Furon Empire, with a little help from Earth’s inhabitants while heavily parodying the 1960’s time period.
Here’s the official description of the game:
“Crypto is back with a license to probe. The alien invader returns, groovier than ever. Experience the swinging ‘60s in all its chemical-induced glory and take revenge on the KGB for blowing up your mothership. You’ll have to form alliances with members of the very species you came to enslave.”
All Weapons in Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed
While this is a remake, Black Forest Games was pretty faithful to the foundation the original titles set bringing back the core weapons while updating their functionality to match modern control schemes or to have better characteristics.
Here is a list of weapons we can expect Crypto to wield this time around:
- Zap-O-Matic
- Dislocator
- Meteor Strike Gun
- Disintegrator
- Anal Probe
- Ion Detonator
- Gastro Launcher
- Burrow Beast Launcher
- Free Love Goggles
Expect to cause havoc in Crypto’s Flying Saucer and put humans’ minds to the test with a variety of psychic abilities.
How to Preorder Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed
With the new release date trailer, we’ve received a ton of new info regarding the game including the pre-order bonus and preorder tiers.
Preordering the standard tier will include Destroy All Humans! 2- Reprobed and access to the new multiplayer DLC: Destroy All Humans! Clone Carnage. Preordering the “Dressed to Skill” edition will net you the game, a skin pack, challenge DLC as well as access to Clone Carnage. One thing to take note of is that the PlayStation Store shows a third edition called the “Jumbo Pack” which includes all of the previously mentioned content plus the remake of the first title, but that option is not present on any other platform besides PlayStation.
To preorder the game, pick your platform of choice and head over to their retailer option, (PlayStation Store, Steam, Microsoft Store) choose which edition you want to preorder and select purchase.
