Rogue Legacy 2 Reveals April Launch Date
Famed rogue-LITE, Rogue Legacy 2, is set to officially launch on PC and Xbox One, X|S on April 28th, 2022. To celebrate the announcement, Cellar Door Games have today released a brand new animated cinematic alongside the release of Rogue Legacy for free on the Epic Games store!
Having launched into Early Access back in August 2020, Rogue Legacy 2 surpasses its predecessor by building upon its manor and improving almost every area of the game. From a brand new art style (3D characters set against stunning hand drawn backgrounds), all new weaponry, abilities and classes, as well as fresh biome generation for greater strategic choice, the scope and ambition of Rogue Legacy 2 is vast.
Rogue Legacy 2 is finally reaching v1.0 and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Our goal for Rogue Legacy 2 was always to make “Rogue Legacy 3” because we didn’t want to settle for just more. It had to stay true to the original, but also stand on its own as something new. After nearly four years of development, bringing it to the fans is the final step in this long journey, and we hope they find it as special as we do. - Cellar Door Games
The sequel also introduces Heirlooms to truly push that unique metroidvania feel by permanently giving heroes new abilities. Alongside this, Rogue Legacy 2 vastly improves traits to bring greater value to their risk versus reward gameplay, as well as making significant strides in accessibility to let players succeed even when they’re struggling.
Set to launch on April 28th, 2022, between now and its release date Rogue Legacy 2 can be purchased on Steam and Epic an early access title. Players can also dive into its predecessor, Rogue Legacy, ahead of the sequel’s official release by visiting the Epic Games Store to claim their free copy between April 7-14th!
