addedWe wanted to make the most of this last opportunity and packed in a heap of new content, with the major highlight being special game modes that will test even the most stalwart Rogue Legacy players. We’re also tying the bow on Fabled Weapons by introducing ones for the remaining Classes that did not have one associated with them.

Well, we’re bringing it back as an official Special Game Mode, alongside two other modes that truly spice up the experience. Thana-two-phobia takes the original challenge and dials it to 11, with Prime bosses and harder biomes, while True Rogue pits you against the gods of RNG. This mode randomizes your character, drops you in random biomes, and tests how far you can get on a single life.

Bring both shock and awe to your foes with Mjolnir, strike fear into their hearts with a hand puppet, or just take on the righteous tides with your surfboard. With the addition of these remaining Fabled Weapons, all Classes in the game now have one tied to them in the Soul Shop.

Happy one-year anniversary! Even though we planned to finish development after version 1.0, and then called it quits again with the release of v1.1, we just can’t help ourselves. We are peeking out just long enough to post ONE LAST major content patch for Rogue Legacy 2, and this time we mean it. While we love this game and we love the community that has grown around it, all good things must come to an end.

While it saddens us to announce this final chapter in Rogue Legacy 2’s chronicles, we are excited to see what’s next and we hope you are too. It’s been an incredible experience, and we are truly grateful to the fans who have been following and supporting us for the last couple of years. It’s because of you that our legacy has lasted this long. See you in our next game!

One final adieu,

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

  • 3 New Ways to Play – Fans of the original Rogue Legacy may be familiar with the game’s hardest achievement, Thanatophobia, which required the game be completed in 15 lives. Well, we’re bringing it back as an official Special Game Mode, alongside two other modes that truly spice up the experience. Thana-two-phobia takes the original challenge and dials it to 11, with Prime bosses and harder biomes, while True Rogue pits you against the gods of RNG. This mode randomizes your character, drops you in random biomes, and tests how far you can get on a single life.

  • Dream A Little Dream – Deep within the shadows of an oppressive Kingdom lies the faint light of hopes and dreams. This latest update will be introducing Dreams, unique experiences similar to Scar Challenges that allow you to play out the fantasies of some of the most iconic characters in the game. What those fantasies are you will have to discover on your own. *Unlike Challenges, Dreams do not count towards earning certain achievements.

  • Fables For All – We’re completing the cycle and adding three new Fabled Weapons in this final update. Bring both shock and awe to your foes with Mjolnir, strike fear into their hearts with a hand puppet, or just take on the righteous tides with your surfboard. With the addition of these remaining Fabled Weapons, all Classes in the game now have one tied to them in the Soul Shop.
