Spelunky 2 isn't releasing this year after all Miner delay. News by Emma Kent Contributor Updated on 15 Aug 2019 14 comments If you had plans for digital adventures in dimly-lit caves this year, you'll have to wait a while longer, as the sequel to critically-acclaimed indie roguelike Spelunky will no longer be releasing in 2019. Hey, Spelunky fans! Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to get to release Spelunky 2 this year. Development is still going well and we're not far off target, but the density and detail of the game is demanding more time.Thank you for your patience. pic.twitter.com/BJvsHUWAY0- Derek Yu (@mossmouth) August 14, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Yu also apologised for the lack of updates, but said he'd been listening to feedback about the environments seen in the trailer, and had been working on adding more detail and increasing the contrast. Also, I took in the feedback about the environments from the trailer, and while I still love the overall style, we've been adding more detail, as well as increasing the contrast to make existing details pop (some were pretty subtle and compression wasn't friendly to them)! pic.twitter.com/kTaiflcSyf- Derek Yu (@mossmouth) August 14, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

When it does release, however, you can expect to see it on PC and PlayStation 4, and you can also expect a very excited Christian Donlan.
