spelunky 2

Spelunky 2 on PC won’t have online multiplayer at launch, according to a Steam update today. However, the developer writes, “On the plus side, that will give us time to keep improving the online before you try it, as well as implement cross-platform play between Steam and PS4.”

Spelunky 2 will be available on Steam starting September 29, two weeks after the PlayStation 4 release. This follow-up to the popular 2013 roguelike includes new areas, enemies, traps, and items for would-be explorers to encounter.

Spelunky 2 is coming out on September 15. That’s very soon! The release date was announced as part of Sony’s State of Play event today, alongside online multiplayer for the spelunking sequel, which is a followup to one of the most revered roguelikes of all time.

Spelunky 2 is coming in 2020, according to developer Derek Yu. The follow-up to Yu’s popular cave-diving roguelike from 2008 has been without a concrete release window since being delayed last year.

Spelunky 2 has been delayed, developer Derek Yu announced on Twitter. “Development is still going well and we’re not far off target,” Yu wrote, “but the density and detail of the game is demanding more time.” Originally scheduled for 2019, no new date was given.

Oh my goodness, it’s Spelunky 2 gameplay. There appear to be cats. The game is coming “2019,” which is, alas, not right now.
