Knight after Knight after Knight…
Cellar Door Games has finally announced a release date for the PlayStation port of epic medieval roguelike Rogue Legacy 2 — Our brave army of knights will attempt to surmount an ever-changing kingdom of monsters on June 20, just under a week from today.
Originally released on PC and Nintendo Switch in the spring of 2022, Rogue Legacy 2 once again sees players guide a plucky knight through dungeon after dungeon, battling ghosts, ghouls, and monsters, and picking their way toward an array of dangerous boss characters. As with its predecessor, death is only beginning, and each fallen knight will be replaced by the next in their bloodline, many of whom carry their own unique quirks and abilities, known in-game as “Traits”.
Added to the sequel are several new features, including the Metroidvania-type “Heirlooms”, allowing access to certain out-of-reach areas, and an expanded narrative that runs beyond the original run and into several New Game+ efforts. While the sequel is obviously over a year old, it’s a truly golden title, and well worth checking out by all adventure fans, regardless of your experience with the roguelike genre or the Rogue Legacy franchise. Lead on, adventurer!
Rogue Legacy 2 launches on PlayStation June 20. It is available now on PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
