In case you didn't know, Rogue Legacy 2 was recently released on PC and Xbox consoles, and it appears to be a smash hit. Critics are loving the rogue-lite sequel to the dangerously addictive original, praising its wealth of options and possibilities as well as its tight gameplay. The bad news — at least right now — is that the game isn't available on PS5 or PS4. Some fans are obviously asking: is Rogue Legacy 2 coming to Sony's systems?
The answer isn't straightforward, as you might expect. However, developer Cellar Door Games has responded to several people on social media, providing an honest answer that leaves things up in the air. Essentially, the team is explaining that it's a tiny studio, and so can only prioritise one thing at a time.
So, it isn't ruling anything out, in other words. The game was primarily developed for PC, and was in early access for a long time before reaching its finalised launch version a few days ago. There's no telling what Cellar Door's next steps will be, but the first game had a staggered release across various platforms, so we imagine Rogue Legacy 2 will follow a similar pattern.
We sincerely hope it does make the jump to PlayStation; the original is a true delight, and we remember playing for hours on end, especially the Vita version. Anyway, there's nothing concrete for now.

In 3-6 months when Xbox timed exclusive right are done it will come to playstation.
I'll get it when it comes to playstation. The first one was great
Pretty sure PlayStation would net them ~40% boost in sales across all platforms as that seems to be the general outcome with all other games. You’d think PS would be the second highest priority platform after Switch, especially for indie studios.
I want it on the Switch but I am willing to double dip. Loved the first one SO much!
I assumed it was a timed exclusive for Xbox and PC based on platform release. Only two programmers, wow! I’m happy to pick this up on my laptop and then double dip later, I love supporting small indie teams.
Still to play the original tbh… the sequel looks great though fair play
I love the first on my Vita and will definitely support a sequel once it arrives
Been playing this on my Series X and it’s fantastic. Bigger and even better than the original. Highly recommend it when it comes over to PS5 (or now if you have the means to play it!).
@Shstrick Its probably timed exclusivity and the fact that porting a game from PC to Xbox is super easy since Xbox is just a cut down version of Windows. Otherwise Switch would probably be the priority since indie games do insanely well there.
@lolwhatno The piece of the puzzle is obvious. The GDK is shared between Windows and Xboxes. I think it's a very easy port from Windows to xbox, especially for indies.
Probably some more work to port to Switch and PS4.
I didn't expect that considering it released on Plus with the first one. I'd love to see the second do the same. I really miss getting neat indie game I wouldn't buy on my own with Plus.
I played Rogue Legacy 2 this morning on Series X. It is great! Very addicting. I am fortunate to have a PS5 and a Series X. Other than Game Pass, I prefer the PS5. Better exclusives and better controller. The Dualsense is the best controller yet. I started gaming on an Atari 2600.
Made me so sad when i saw it didn't come on PS
Been playing this on my series X. Absolutely brilliant game. Really addictive gameplay.
Sure it’ll come to PS5 and Switch in my time whd highly recommended it if you get the chance and enjoy the genre.
