Banned 2 is out!
Book 2 of Banned by Michael Atamanov is out now!
The hunt continues in both worlds.
In Banned: Book 2, the story of Dog of the Forgotten Pack kicks into high gear. After losing everything to a shady in-game ban, our protagonist returned under a new name—and chose the most unforgiving path possible: Hardcore mode, where a single death means the end.
Now, as Dog, he claws his way through the deadly sandbox of Shattered Empire Online, fighting to reclaim the legacy of the legendary Shadow Kane. But real life is no safe haven: the police, hired killers, and a powerful corporation are closing in fast. With nowhere to run, the game becomes his only escape—and his only chance at striking back.
Expect intense PvP, faction warfare, new allies and old enemies, and a brutal battle for dominance among the Beastmen. With every fight, Dog inches closer to the ultimate prize: Shadow Kane’s hidden treasure—and perhaps redemption.
If you thought Book 1 was intense, Book 2 raises the stakes across the board.
Ready to dive back in? The sandbox has never been deadlier.
