“It has been a tough decision, but we’ve decided to delay the launch of Rogue Legacy 2 by three and a half weeks to August 18, 2020,” said the studio in a post to its official site. “We’re close though (which is why the delay is so short), we just need a bit more time to get it in a state that we’re truly proud to display. We know a lot of fans will be disappointed by the delay, and for that we apologize. Even in Early Access we don’t want to compromise the quality of the game, and we hope it shows when we make it to launch.”
The team likened game development to football in the post to Twitter. “It’s weird, unpredictable, and we don’t know the rules. And just like football, when you get the ball, sometimes you’ve just gotta run with it,” it explained. Rogue Legacy drew from games like Demon’s Souls, Spelunky, and The Binding of Isaac to produce a dungeon crawler with its own funky flair. When the player dies, one of three heirs continues their fight, and in its sequel, the family will build their own castle like a base.
Rogue Legacy 2 is in development for PC.
