Rogue Legacy 2 exits Early Access and gets an animated release date trailer

Developer Cellar Door Games has announced that Rogue Legacy 2, the roguelite sequel to the original 2013 game, will leave Early Access and officially launch on April 28th. To mark the occasion, the developer is now making the original game available for free on the Epic Games Store.

“Our goal for Rogue Legacy 2 was always to make Rogue Legacy 3 because we didn’t want to settle for more,” said Cellar Door. “It had to stay true to the original, but also stand out as something new on its own. After nearly four years of development, bringing it to fans is the final step on this long journey, and we hope they find it just as special as we do.”
