Rogue Legacy is one of our favourite roguelite games, so news of a sequel got us very excited. The original saw you attempting to lift a curse on your family, playing as the offspring of your previous character with each run. With persistent upgrades and unique character traits, it's an ultra-addictive loop, and it looks like the sequel is more of the same.
This new trailer shows off gameplay in Rogue Legacy 2, and it appears to be sticking to the tried and tested formula. It does have a nice new art style, and the developer is promising there are plenty of new features to come. In the meantime, the game is heading to early access on PC next month, so it could be a while before we see it on PlayStation. It's possible we're looking at a PS5 game, rather than PS4.
Still, it's exciting we're getting a sequel at all. Hopefully it's not too far away. What do you think of Rogue Legacy 2? Respect your elders in the comments section below.

Ohh the first one was a fun game and being cross-buy+save I could play it on my vita on the go, and continue with my ps4 at home. I got mine in ps plus, and I hope that this one 2 will be cross buy for ps4 and ps5.
Looks awesome, great trailer, looking forward to playing it on Playstation whenever that is.
The return of the King! The best Rogue like in the world, so good it bears the name of the genre. Can't wait for this. I don't say this often anymore.....
Day 1 purchase.
What do you think the excuse for no Vita port will be this time? Will they lie and say it's too taxing and expensive, will they take the cowards way out and blame Sony like Iga did?
The first was my most loved Vita game and one of my proudest Platinums. In fact, after watching this trailer I bought the first one on XB to get the 1000gs as well.
Between this, Shovel Knight and Guacamelee PlayStation had a massive run of indies. Buying RL2 day one.
I loved the first. One of the few indie instabuys for me.
@Enuo expecting a Vita port in 2020 is like asking for something new for your GBA. Sad, but true.
@themcnoisy
Didn't you have a Rogue Legacy avatar ages ago? Or did I just imagine that? I remember fighting those super bosses, what a challenge they were.
@Enuo
I'd be over the moon if they announced a Vita version but probably best not to get our hopes up on that one!
My heart stopped for a second when I saw "Rogue ... 2" unfortunately second word was "legacy"
@LieutenantFatman that was right near the start! Good memory. I then had a picture of Auron from FFX as Pushsquare didn't include him in the top playstation personalities. I then had the cop from cyberpunk. Finally landing on my current one.
@djlard Aaah, I too wished for Rogue Warrior 2
This looks amazing, love the new art style. Big fan of the original - the genetic traits idea was brilliant. Will definitely buy this day one, hope we don’t have to wait too long!
@Ear_wiG man i hate earwigs, have a tree i my back yard that is ate up with them, but ur cool
@ChineseJames Yes, but actually no. 😂

@ellsworth004 Yeah they're definitely a gross-looking bug - ha!
