I’m afraid Rogue Legacy 2 shall be ready just a few extra weeks earlier than taking its place within the roguelike pantheon. Developers Cellar Door right this moment introduced that the procedural, generational dungeon-crawler wants a bit extra time to shine its armour, and gained’t be launching this month as deliberate. Instead, Rogue Legacy 2 will enter early entry on the later date of August 18th – and guarantees to be a heftier package deal than initially deliberate.
Announced earlier this year, Rogue Legacy 2 is taking over its predecessor’s mantle in a reasonably simple manner. Sticking to the familial development system of the primary game, Rogue Legacy 2 could have you sending every department of the household tree down dungeons. Pixel artwork has been swapped out for extra painterly backgrounds, with extra Metroidvania-style gated development, overhauled traits and quirks, and a vault of recent weapons and objects to instrument round with.
But whereas it was planning a release later this month, it appears to be like like we gained’t be getting our arms on Rogue Legacy 2 ’til August. Developers Cellar Door introduced the delay in a Twitter post earlier right this moment, framing it by way of a soccer metaphor. “Haha sportsball” jokes however, I do sympathise with the paralysing terror of getting somebody punt a soccer my manner.
“Game growth is so much like soccer. It’s bizarre, unpredictable, and we don’t know the foundations. And once you get the ball, typically you’ve simply gotta run with it.
“While stabilizing the game for launch, we’ve run into some minor setbacks, but more importantly, some features got so close to completion that we just absolutely had to see them through. This means more content, more stability, and more bang for your buck come launch day.”
So, whereas it appears to be like like Rogue Legacy 2 must be a heftier game when it makes its early entry debut, that launch has been pushed again by just a few weeks. Rogue Legacy 2 will now launch on Steam and the Epic Games Store on August 18th. It’ll nonetheless be staggering its worth, beginning at $20, going as much as $25 as soon as it’s had time to develop, earlier than bumping as much as $30 on launch.
