Lore & Background
Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is a remake of the 2006 original game and the sixth installment in the Destroy All Humans! franchise. It follows the grey alien Crypto as he travels to five locations: Bay City, Albion, Takoshima, Tunguska, and the Solaris moon base, which parody real-life places such as San Francisco, London, and Tokyo. Several locations were expanded from the original game, adding new areas to explore. The game features both shooting and stealth elements, with new weapons, abilities, stats, and vehicles unlocked as players progress. The campaign is fully playable in single-player or two-player local split-screen co-op.
Reader's Guide
Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed received mixed or average reviews from critics, according to Metacritic. IGN described it as a 'fairly unambitious sequel'. The game launched on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 30 August 2022, with a physical collector's edition called the Second Coming Edition limited to 3,700 copies. A single-player-only version was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 27 June 2023, and a Nintendo Switch 2 port is scheduled for 15 September 2026. The remake updated the original 2006 game for modern platforms while retaining its core gameplay of alien invasion, mind control, and open-world destruction. Its significance lies in continuing the franchise's revival after the first remake, though critical reception noted its lack of ambition.
