Destroy All Humans 2 Is Coming To Last Gen, But It Won't Have Multiplayer

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is finally making it to the previous gen its publisher THQ Nordic has announced.

Destory All Humans!2: Reprobed is a remake of 2006’s Destroy All Humans! 2 which launched on the PS2 and Xbox. The remake released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S last year but it wasn’t a cross-gen launch. But PS4 and Xbox One players will have the chance to play Reprobed soon. However, this last gen release will be missing the multiplayer component.

Announcing the last-gen release with a characteristically jokey trailer, featuring quotes from the likes of ‘dr_cortez98’ (“should’ve made a Xbox One version) and ‘Gerardo Anton (“you guys fked up not having this on PS4”), which are literally random comments the publisher found online, the game’s marketing team are clearly having a bit of fun with it all. Other standout quotes include “I mean I got a PC but fck, I got most of my shit on Xbox” and “ya’ll are monsters for no PS4 release”.

The Destroy All Humans! series are open world action-adventure games that, yes, has players destroying humans in a parody of Cold War-era alien invasion movies. It’s highly reminiscent of the 1996 comedy film Mars Attacks! but in video game form.

Developed by Black Forest Games, Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is the sixth entry in the series, and sees players taking on the role of the alien known as Crypto as he travels around the world, with stops in Britain and Japan and Russia and the US, as he seeks revenge on the KGB for blowing up the mothership. The game takes place ten years following the events of the first game.

In our review of this remake, our lead features editor Jade King awarded the title 3/5 and praised the game’s writing, which she called sharp, surprising, and funny, and the basic gameplay premise that remains fun and compelling. But bemoaned the abundance of bugs and overcomplicating the formula.

Hopefully the game’s release on previous gen systems, which will be single-player only, will have fixed the bugs. Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed: Single Player comes to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on June 27.
