Hey Giants!

The new free update is here to let chaos reign in the world of Reus 2. To celebrate the launch of the DLC, we’re having a sale on the main game with a 35% discount, 10% on the DLC & 10% on the Supporter Pack until January 27th!

Watch our amazing trailer here:

The full Patch Notes can be found at the end of this Steam News but here is a list of the Major additions coming with this Update:

• Experience the godly powers with the new natural disaster abilities; from the Tsunami to the Wildfire, every element can turn into the most destructive weapon in the hands of the Giants!
• Discover the new relationships that can be built between cities where their greatest creations can be traded peacefully through cultural exchanges… Or can attract jealousy and conflicts to steal these resources!
• Giants are also part of the picture as humans can now build temples in their honor if the Giants are to their liking or, on the contrary, try to hunt them down if they are no longer fond of them;
• For a more peaceful planet, you may choose the Pacifism mode at the beginning of your planet creation that will disable any military events from occurring or on the contrary, try out the Event Intensity mode to choose the pace of the relationship development and the trigger of in-game events;
• The game now supports the Russian and Ukrainian languages;
