Forget dodging spikes or slaying foes – Rogue Legacy was a game about household. Specifically, coaching up your children to be higher dungeon-divers than you in order that they’d be able to take up your mantle after an unlucky spelunking accident. Fitting, then, that Rogue Legacy would set up its personal legacy. Seven years after Rogue Legacy first picked up a sword, Rogue Legacy 2 is making ready to take up that rusted mantle and dwell as much as its household title with yet one more journey down the dungeons.
Developers Cellar Door took to twitter earlier right now to announce {that a} sequel to Rogue Legacy is at present within the works, exhibiting off some sharp new screens within the course of.
Yes, it is official. Rogue Legacy 2 is in improvement! We’ll be releasing much more information within the coming days.

2013’s Rogue Legacy was one of many earlier hits within the nice roguelike renaissance of the 2010s, a stunning little hack-n-slash platformer the place every new run earned you unlocks on your character and upgrades on your fort. The actual catch, although, was that each new run was a brand new character – a descendant of the lad or lass who beefed it in your final run, with their very own traits and quirks.
Adam Smith (RPS in peace) wasn’t tremendous scorching on this mechanic (learn: gimmick) in his Rogue Legacy review, however discovered the remainder of the game to be a stellar little platformer that greater than made up for that shortfall.
“Thankfully, the actual game behind the gimmick is excellent and the clever use of the generational system is in the levelling of the keep and the collection of new equipment, adding an engrossing system of progression with long-term goals on top of the immensely replayable randomised platformer.”
As far because the sequel goes, we’ve solely obtained a gif and three screenshots. Those’ll should tide you over for now, although Cellar Door reckon they’ll have far more to share very, very quickly.
