Rogue Legacy 2 Is Finally Coming. Here’s What We Know So Far

Instead of reinventing the wheel, it sounds like “Rogue Legacy 2” will take the systems that made the original game so well-received and make them even more robust. Death happens often in “Rogue Legacy,” but that’s a feature, not a bug. Critics have praised the interconnecting systems, which largely rely on procedural generation (which mixes and matches various elements to create a “new” experience) for creating significant variation in gameplay styles. IGN and Nintendo Life gave it nine out of ten, but it wasn’t just a critical success; VG247 reported on March 18, 2014, that “Rogue Legacy” had sold 100,000 units and broke even within one week of release.

“Rogue Legacy 2” sounds like it will continue the trend with even more weapons, spells, and environments. The sequel comes over eight years after the original, and PC users will be able to purchase it on both Steam and the Epic Games Store for $24.99 upon release. Meanwhile, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X owners will be able to purchase the game directly from the Xbox Store for $24.99. It’s unclear whether or not it will be available on Xbox or PC Game Pass, but one thing is clear: It will not be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles just yet. The original “Rogue Legacy” is currently sold for $14.99 on Steam and on the Xbox Store, and is free on the Epic Games Store until April 14 at 11 AM eastern time.
