From Press Release:
LOS ANGELES (Oct. 28, 2026) – How much pain will you endure to grow your power? Strategists will answer that question when Monster Train 2: The Punished debuts a new Clan with strategically distinct capabilities on Nov. 10 via new premium DLC. Developer Shiny Shoe and publisher Big Fan revealed The Punished’s devoted might ahead of the DLC’s launch on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and XBOX for $7.99, while announcing Monster Train 2 has boarded more than 1 million players to date. It was also confirmed today that Monster Train 2 will reach iOS and Android mobile devices and Nintendo Switch 2 later this year, where The Punished will also be available:

com/app/2742830/Monster_Train_ 2/) Monster Train 2: The Punished’s new Clan is led by playable warrior Archus, Darkness Incarnate, and a peerless ability to convert The Punished’s suffering into power within combat. Leading The Punished into battle allows the unique option to sacrifice cards to the Monolith, building Devotion while strengthening The Punished’s units through Zeal. The result triggers powerful effects and buffs, offsetting the damage inflicted on The Punished’s ranks through even greater anguish inflicted on their foes. The more damage you inflict on The Punished, the greater their fearsome might grows.
The Punished’s arrival will conclude Monster Train 2’s series of post-launch content updates, which saw multiple updates provided to all players for free, as well as a suite of additions crowned by an expansive new game mode and challenge released through the previous Destiny of the Railforged DLC.
