Spelunky 2, the long-awaited sequel to Derek Yu's roguelite platformer, Spelunky, has finally arrived. While the PlayStation 4 version is available now, PC gamers must wait until September 29th to dig in. It's been quite some time since fans have had a reason to die repeatedly in the series' underground caves, jungles, and temples, so I suspect many hundred of man hours have already been spent on discovering Spelunky 2's strategies and secrets.
Long has the Spelunky community awaited a successor, one worthy of their collective obsession. Now, such a title is nearly upon us in the form of... Spelunky 2. It's bigger, it's (hopefully) better, it has online co-op, and it's coming to the PlayStation 4 on September 15th.
According to a recent post on the PlayStation Blog, Derek Yu and team are still hard at work on Spelunky 2, their follow-up to the extremely popular roguelike platformer, Spelunky. In short, the update reiterates that they're adding more variety to the game in the hopes of giving us all new ways to di-... er, interact with the levels.
The upcoming Spelunky 2, which was set to release later in 2019, has been delayed. According to the game’s developer, Derek Yu, the sequel to 2008’s Spelunky is requiring more time as “the density and detail of the game is demanding more time.” This may come as a shock to some, considering how simple Spelunky seems on the surface, but due to the few details that have come from Yu up to this point there is no way to know what components of the sequel will be getting the extra time.
The original Spelunky was a phenomenon that to this day is still one of the most played/talked about rogue-likes in modern gaming history. So, how do you follow that up? By doing more of the same and adding even more layers to it. Spelunky 2 was first announced during last year's PlayStation Expo, but earlier this week, we got our first confirmation of co-op and a preview of some of those new features in action.
Microsoft recently announced their August line-up for their Xbox Live Games with Gold program. Out of the four games (two for 360, two for One), two of them have co-op: Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate and Spelunky.
This week's Deals With Gold sale on Xbox Live drops the price on the Xbox One edition of Dragon Age: Inquisition, giving you a chance to explore the Hinterlands and join in the game's featured co-op mode for only $35.99.
Old-style Spelunky plus online co-op sounds like a grand idea! A modder by the name of Vadim has been toying with Spelunky Classic's source code for a few months, backporting features from its bigger, brighter brother Spelunky HD. The best feature is actually new to the series: online-enabled co-op play for two players, all for the nice price of free!
The more Spelunky is in our lives, the better. Apparently the folks at Sony agree with me, and have announced the challenging cave-diving game for the Playstation 4. Now, PS4 owners can enjoy the miracle that is Spelunky on their own machines. Is there anything better than being trapped in a cave at the mercy of ancient traps, colossal spiders, and easily enraged merchants armed with shotguns? That's the recipe for fun right there.
2,153 BC: A group of nomadic hunters banded together to hunt a wildebeest to provide food for their people. 1,274 AD: A cabal of noble knights united to rid the kingdom of the bandit menace plaguing the peasantry. 2014 (AKA, Present Day): Two intrepid explorers (colloquially named “Blue” and “Round Boy”) journeyed deep into ...
Until this Friday, local co-op platformer Spelunky is on sale for $5.09 - 66% off it's full retail price on Steam. Players explore randomly generated caves together while avoiding traps, rescuing survivors, collecting treasure and defeating beasts. Releasing a year ago this month, Spelunky delighted with it...
Spelunky is a hard enough game on its own, let alone with three other players trudging along the small space of a TV screen. Thankfully, the upcoming PlayStation Vita version will contain a feature in co-op to allow all players freedom of movement.
