Tinybuild and Matt Dabrowski have introduced that Streets of Rogue 2, the anticipated sequel to the hectic sandbox sport, is having its Early Entry debut pushed again to October 22, 2024. It was initially deliberate to be launched on August 14.

The press launch states that Streets of Rogue 2 will take “further time to sharpen its instruments of destruction.” It doesn’t get any extra particular with its particulars. In reality, once I initially learn the PR, it sounded prefer it was excitedly asserting the launch date, and I needed to re-read it to appreciate that it had an apologetic tone.

The unique Streets of Rogue got here out in 2019, and it at present enjoys a 96% “overwhelmingly constructive” consumer evaluation rating on Steam. The sport’s title ought to have been workshopped, and I had it confused for a unique sport for years earlier than realizing that the 2 aren’t the identical and that I ought to most likely play Streets of Rogue. Then I set it apart as a result of I’m a busy particular person and didn’t get into it for the primary time till simply now once I wanted further context.

The primary sport is kind of like a development of miniature immersive sims, the place you’re dropped on a randomly generated flooring and have to finish goals utilizing solely the talents available and gadgets that may be discovered within the surroundings.

Streets of Rogue 2 is taking this to a extra open world. There’s farming for some purpose. The open world is seemingly 10,000 occasions bigger than a degree within the first sport. It guarantees “uncompromised” freedom. It appears like how I might think about a Saint’s Row sport could be if it went 2D.

Streets of Rogue 2 is now focusing on October 22, 2024 for launch on Steam Early Entry.
