Rogue Legacy 2 Revealed

Rogue Legacy 2 was announced by developer Cellar Door Games on Thursday. It is the third title from the independent developer and comes seven years after the first Rogue Legacy.

Alongside the announcement, Cellar Door unveiled a trio of screenshots of the upcoming game. The art for the new game resembles its predecessor's, but rounds out the jagged edges of the pixel art for an overall smoother and sharper presentation.

The developer did not share a release date or planned platforms, but promised more information about the game to be revealed in the coming days.

The first Rogue Legacy was Cellar Door's first commercial release. It achieved cult success as one of the first games in the roguelite genre, drawing on certain elements of the roguelike — permadeath, procedurally generated levels and relatively short, individual runs — while sanding off some of the rougher edges by allowing persistent progress between runs. Cellar Door went on to port it to PlayStation 3, 4 and Vita, Xbox One, Mac, iOS and Nintendo Switch.

Cellar Door released its second commercial title, Full Metal Furies, on PC, Mac, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in January 2018.
