Rogue Legacy 2 Coming to Early Access Later This Month
/Toronto-based indie studio Cellar Door Games has announced the sequel to their critically acclaimed roguelite Rogue Legacy 2 will be coming to Steam and the Epic Game Store in Early Access on July 23rd.
Rogue Legacy 2 is the sequel to 2013 indie hit Rogue Legacy, which saw release on pretty much every platform (including the Vita). In between the two roguelite games, Cellar Door Games released co-op brawler Full Metal Furies on PC and Xbox One in January of 2018. On discussing why they went Early Access for Rogue Legacy 2, the reason being was because of the fan advice they got on the first game:
““Before the launch of the first Rogue Legacy we received an immense number of ideas from the community through social media, emails, and our Steam Community forums. Your feedback resulted in new traits, balance tweaks and improved stability. We also had diehard fans creating incredible mods and content that kept Rogue Legacy’s flame burning. All of this involvement helped steer RL1 in a better direction, and we feel that officially bringing Rogue Legacy 2 into Early Access is the next natural step.”
