Looks Cool, but Ripped from Darksiders 3?

Saw this at the YouTube E3 show and thought it looked pretty cool. I've really liked Gunfire games' stuff, but noticed something I feel like I should point out about a boss fight they showed off. As the show is still live I can't get a timestamp, but it was shown around 5PM PST. Here's a screen cap: https://i.imgur.com/OeIIzvc.jpg

The boss jumps around on pedestals, firing down at the player and ocassionally jumping down with a slam attack. If you've played Darksiders 3, it looks incredibly familiar to another boss fight, shown here: https://youtu.be/OcXqRYUvwe0?t=86

I know tons of work between games gets recycled all the time, but this example seems pretty blatant, and I'm hoping it's not a sign of anything for the full game, especially at $39.99. Again, I've really enjoyed this developer's games in the past, and am excited for this release, but this is dampening my excitement a bit.

Went back to get the timestamp from the E3 stream.

Similar but clearly not ripped.

The only thing in common is the pillar jumping. The one in Remnant is a ranged boss with no other similar mechanics.

I can see it uses assets from Darksiders 3.
The city ruins where you begins your journey in Darksiders 3, the same giant tree overgrown the building, some enemies look familiar.

But the gameplay is what made me pre-order this game.

I'm viewing this game as a coop survival in the Darksiders universe, looks too familiar.

I'm willing to bet that's how it started too, but they may have not wanted to overload the franchise with spinoffs, seeing as there's a Darksiders ARPG in the works

It's the same engine, so ofc assets will be familiar.
Still, pretty interesting game.

Lol, really. War was imprisoned, and before Fury's quest we will play last survivors=))
Hope to see Strife there=)

Does it matter if its ripped from Darksiders 3? that game was trash compared to the other 2.

No one gonna mention that this game is developed by the same development team of Darksiders 3 lol

People have been allowing Fromsoft to gently reskin the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game for an entire decade now, but you're complaining about this? This mildly similar setup for a boss? Meanwhile the differences between Demon's/Dark Souls and Bloodborne/Sekiro are primarily surface level, with tweaks to combat.
Yet all the same damn game. Same stats. Same world layouts. Same NPC's with varying degrees of storyline. Same same same. Cut these dudes some slack, at least Remnant is a different genre entirely from Darksiders.

Remnant shares alot more from Darksiders 3. I notice the same background sound in haven. Some textures look VERY similar. Subway parts have very similar design. I think ive even seen the light blue glowing flowers in Yaesha and in parts fo DS3. Lightning is also very similar in some parts, although Remnant grafics are more crips and clean and it runs way better than DS3. Makes somewhat sense i guess, the devs learned how to use UE better
