- Linux/macOS Update, Steam Deck - 3 September 2022
Hi everyone! This is just a minor housekeeping update for the Linux and macOS versions - all it does is update FNA, the game's underlying framework, which can improve performance and stability without actually changing anything in the game. This is also provided for Windows in the 'fna-win32' beta branch, but as always this is experimental-only and is not supported by default. One small in-game change was to default to the native resolution when in Big Picture and Deck mode, so that the viewport fits the screen you're using. This allowed us to get a Verified rating, so if you still like playing the original Rogue Legacy and want to play it on a handheld, the latest native Linux release should provide the best experience! Enjoy!
- Rogue Legacy 2 v1.0 Available Now! - 28 April 2022
Woooo hooooo! It is with great privilege that we are announcing the complete version of Rogue Legacy 2 is now available for download!!! If that's all you need to know, get out there and starting playing! But for those who want to bask in the moment with us, please read on. It's incredible to think back to when this all started nearly four years ago. To say we were apprehensive going into Early Access would be an enormous understatement. We didn't know what to expect, and to completely expose the game's workings to basically everybody was a very scary idea. Rogue Legacy is more than a game to us. It started as a small idea between two brothers, and grew to something that ultimately changed our lives. What we didn't know was how important Rogue Legacy was to some of you as well. Throughout our entire time in EA, the community has given us far more than just ideas. You discovered critical…
- Ethan Carter is free to keep on the Epic Games Store (Come Get It) - 9 April 2022
The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter and Rogue Legacy feel like two aging indie games that are at risk of being forgotten, despite them being well-liked in their own time. Well, here's a chance to revisit or revive that interest: both games are free to keep if you grab them from the Epic Games Store between now and April 14th. Read more
- Rogue Legacy 2 now has a release date, and the first game's free too - 7 April 2022
After 20 months in early access, Rogue Legacy 2 will leap to a full launch on the 28th of April. If you've missed out on the series of roguelikelike platformers where each run is another generation on your sprawling (and sometimes diseased) family tree, good news: this week Epic are giving the first game away free to keep.

- Rogue Legacy 2 Comes Out of Early Access April 28! - 7 April 2022
What an adventure! We are SUPER excited to announce that Rogue Legacy 2 is finally breaking out of Early Access, and the full version will be available to enjoy on April 28, 2022. That's less than a month away! We can't put into words all the emotions we're feeling now that we've gotten this far, and we know it's just the beginning. We want to thank every fan, both old and new, that gave the game a chance in Early Access. Thank you for sticking with us throughout this long journey. It's been an incredible experience, and one that we will truly cherish. But best of all, we now have a game that would not be where it is today without your support. Thank you for keeping the Legacy alive! Be sure to check out our new fully-animated trailer celebrating this momentous occasion!
- Rogue Legacy 2 Early Access Out Now - 18 August 2020
We are super stoked to announce that Rogue Legacy 2 is now available on Steam Early Access! To celebrate we're launching with a 10% discount, PLUS an additional 10% discount for any Steam owners that have the original Rogue Legacy! Despite only announcing the game's existence a short four months ago, it's hard to believe that we're actually at this point. It's not the finish line (more like the half-way mark), but even getting this far is a momentous occasion for us. We can't wait to show you what we've done to bring Rogue Legacy 2 to the latest era, and we're even more excited to see what ideas fans come up with along the way.
- Rogue Legacy 2 Launch Delayed to August 18, 2020 - 16 July 2020
It has been a tough decision, but we've decided to delay the launch of Rogue Legacy 2 by three and a half weeks to August 18, 2020. We've run into a few setbacks and we aren't quite ready to show it yet. We're close though (which is why the delay is so short), we just need a bit more time to get it in a state that we're truly proud to display. We know a lot of fans will be disappointed by the delay, and for that we apologize. Even in Early Access we don't want to compromise the quality of the game, and we hope it shows when we finally make it to launch.
- Rogue Legacy 2 leaps into early access in July - 24 June 2020
New generations of heroes will rise and fall when Rogue Legacy 2 launches into early access on July 23. The developers, Cellar Door say they expect a full launch in 2021 for the roguelite platformer, which is about conquering a randomly-generated castle across generations of lives by pumping upgrades into your family tree for your heirs. The original was good so yes, good. Come watch the new trailer. (more…)

- Rogue Legacy is still the most approachable roguelite of them all - 8 June 2020
Past Perfect is a retrospective column in which we look back into gaming history to see whether old favourites are still worth playing today. I’m not going to tell you how dreadful I am at Rogue Legacy . If I did you’d never invite me to play with your group in the playground again. But I am going to tell you how much I still enjoy playing Rogue Legacy, despite seemingly having failed to improve at it over seven years of playing. With Rogue Legacy 2 possibly coming this summer, it seemed good timing to return to the 2013 original and explore what still makes it stand out from the crowd of rogues. (more…)
- Rogue Legacy's lineage will continue with a sequel - 2 April 2020
Forget dodging spikes or slaying foes – Rogue Legacy was a game about family. Specifically, training up your kids to be better dungeon-divers than you so they’d be ready to take up your mantle after an unfortunate spelunking accident. Fitting, then, that Rogue Legacy would establish its own legacy. Seven years after Rogue Legacy first picked up a sword, Rogue Legacy 2 is preparing to take up that rusted mantle and live up to its family name with yet another trip down the dungeons. (more…)

When we released the Rogue Legacy 5-year anniversary patch many moons ago, we inadvertently HAMSHANKED peoples' ability to play Cedric "default0" Schneider's super awesome mod for the game, Lament of Zors. To fix that, you had to download the v1.2.0b branch and install the mod, and afterward you couldn't play the latest version of the original game. We've made things easier, and added a selector so that you can switch between the original and the mod at any time! And don't worry, you won't lose your save files. So if you've been hankering more Rogue Legacy, this mod is gonna give you hundreds of extra hours!

- Ace platformer Rogue Legacy gets its first update in four years - 24 July 2018
Rogue Legacy is a 2D platformer in which your characters and the levels you explore are procedurally generated every run. Death is permanent, but all your characters are connected genetically like one big unlucky family. It came out in June 2013 and it was quite good, even before the update it received the following December which added a bunch of bosses and room types.  Today, over four years since that last update, developer Cellar Door Games rolled out another update for Rogue Legacy to celebrate its five-year anniversary. It seems the devs had more free time after shipping the delightful beat-'em-up Full Metal Furies this March.  A big part of Rogue Legacy is choosing new characters from a range of possible heirs with different traits, which can be anything from baldness to alektorophobia (the fear of chickens). The five-year update adds two new traits. The first is p…
