Dark Reign 2 is a real-time strategy game developed by Pandemic Studios, and first published by Activision on June 30, 2000. It is the sequel to Dark Reign: The Future of War, though developed by a different studio, and taking place before it.
The game is an early 3D real-time strategy game. Visually distinct from its predecessor, Dark Reign 2 also comes with a number of gameplay changes. Taelon is the game's only resource, with power now being provided by structures. Naval combat has been added, while other features, such as structure upgrades, carried over.
Dark Reign 2 is set before the events of Dark Reign: The Future of War, and set on a devastated future Earth in the 26th century. The rich and powerful dwell in luxurious domes, whereas the masses live in the Sprawl, and urban wasteland. The Jovian Detection Authority keeps the rich safe, and is opposed by a resistance movement known as the Sprawlers.
The JDA discovers that Earth is soon going to be destroyed entirely, and seeks to recover artefacts left behind by Alpheus Togra, a scientist, in an attempt to leave the planet via an interstellar portal. The Sprawlers attempt to prevent the JDA from escaping, and use the portal for themselves.
Dark Reign 2 receives largely positive reviews and was praised for its visuals, but underperformed commercially. CNET reported that the game had sold less than 10,000 copies in the United States in the first three months after its release. Since Dark Reign 2, the series has not received further entries.
