Unfortunately for PlayStation players hoping to give “Rogue Legacy 2” a try, the game is not going to be available on any Sony console. In fact, it will be offered on a much more narrow range of platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. However, all hope is not lost for PlayStation users.
According to the FAQ section of Cellar Door Games’ site, the developers honed in on the PC version of the game exclusively through Early Access, with plans to announce wider console availability once Early Access ends. Clearly, plans changed a bit since that FAQ entry due to the fact that “Rogue Legacy 2” has already been announced for Xbox prior to the release of Version 1.0. Looking back at the release of “Rogue Legacy” also gives PlayStation owners reason to be optimistic. While the PC version of the game released in 2013, PlayStation versions weren’t ported until 2014.
“Rogue Legacy 2” lead designer Teddy Lee shared with Game Rant that as a small indie studio with just two programmers, making ports is time-consuming and challenging, and that includes the recent Xbox port. When asked about a possible PlayStation or Switch version, Lee simply stated, “We’ve only been thinking about that so far, so we’ll see … We don’t like to make any promises or say anything if nothing’s set in stone, right?” As time passes, it’s more than likely a PlayStation port of “Rogue Legacy 2” will become a reality – so long as the Version 1.0 release is a success.
