Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed returns with a refreshed release window, confirming August 30 as the launch date for PC and current‑generation systems. This updated entry is a modern reimagining of the beloved sequel, which first appeared on PS2 and Xbox in 2006. The previous project, Reprobed, rebuilt the core experience with contemporary technology while staying faithful to the original vibe and leveraging today’s capabilities. THQ Nordic has not announced retro releases for older hardware and is focusing on platforms that shape today’s North American and Canadian gaming landscapes.

For PC and current generation consoles only
The development team aims to deliver a larger, more detailed open world without losing the essence that defined the prior game. Stefan Schmitz of Black Forest Studio, one of the game’s directors, explains that moving beyond older generation boundaries was tough but essential. By concentrating on optimized development time, the team can create a broader environment and a deeper combat system. The goal is to fuse nostalgia with modern design sensibilities, offering players a richer sci‑fi sandbox that resonates with audiences across the United States, Canada, and beyond.
Even with the upgrade, Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed preserves the narrative heart of the 2006 original, which sends Crypto back to the 1960s. The story follows Crypto as a looming threat emerges while the KGB pursues a mothership and vengeance across iconic locations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and Japan. The adventure extends beyond standard warfare as Crypto’s anger drives him toward the moon. THQ Nordic has rewritten substantial portions of the game, adopting Unreal Engine 4 and introducing new features designed to elevate the overall experience for players in North America and around the world.

The trailer emphasizes a playful challenge to countercultural resistance with familiar weaponry such as meteor showers and new technologies. Players are invited to explore a stylized interpretation of the 1960s, piloting a saucer through urban environments while safeguarding their mission against interference. The game also introduces DNA-based skill enhancements drawn from diverse populations, enabling character progression. A cooperative, split‑screen option adds a social layer so friends can share the story and gameplay moments together. The release notes invite audiences to view the accompanying video for a closer look at what lies ahead, highlighting that the experience is crafted to appeal to players across Canada and the United States.
