Hi all, Matt here!

I have a couple bits of development news! Heres the short version:

[olist]

Streets of Rogue 2 is moving from its original release date of August 14th to a new release date of October 22nd.

Well be conducting an Open Playtest on Steam in the near future, free for anyone to join! [/olist] But wait, a new release date? Whats going on here? What sort of shenanigans are at play? Well, I assure you the answer is a lot less interesting than that. I, uh couldnt program quite fast enough. :p While SoR 2 has had a few more folks working on it than its predecessor, Im still the sole programmer/designer of this thing. Compared with other disciplines, programmers are notoriously bad at predicting how long a given task will take. Now replace task with entire Early Access-ready game, and as you can probably imagine, guesstimating correctly gets a tad trickier. Id been targeting a summer launch for a while, which has led to a pretty intense 2024. And while the original release date would have been technically achievable, it would have also been tighter than I was comfortable with. The new date allows me some breathing room and the opportunity to make the game that much better. The new release date will also give me time to conduct a large-scale Pre-Release Playtest. If Streets of Rogues history tells me anything, this should benefit development. Before the original SoR went into Early Access, I released a bunch of builds of the game for free. This was super useful for getting player feedback and paved the way for a smooth launch on Steam. The ETA for the future Playtest is late August / early September. Stay tuned for more news on that!

The prospect of releasing a pre-Early Access version of SoR 2 has often crossed my mind. But while SoR 1s simple level-based structure lent itself well to creating nice little vertical slices of gameplay to iterate on, SoR 2s long-gestating open world and numerous broader-scale systems have taken longer to gel. Even then, theres still a LOT of malleability in a lot of areas of the game, which is why Id like to hear your opinions! Thanks for your patience, everyone! Looking forward to getting the game into your hands! [hr][/hr] Join the community: DISCORD REDDIT Follow Streets of Rogue 2 on social media: TWITTER (X) TIKTOK

Streets of Rogue 2 is a procedurally generated open-world game about player choice, freedom, and anarchic fun. The game takes inspiration from open-world and crafting/survival titles ranging from Skyrim to GTA to Valheim to Stardew Valley, with an emphasis on streamlined and fast-paced gameplay. It also adds the free-form, experimentation-driven, emergent elements of RPGs like Deus Ex to create a true sandbox experience.

The game is set in a huge and seamless randomly generated world filled with cities, forests, islands, caves, and the occasional cannibal outpost. You are free to explore and create your own story as you please, whether that means gaining fame and glory through your good deeds throughout the land, forming a small-but-loyal army of miscreants who stage a government takeover, or getting rich with a farming empire.

Streets of Rogue 2 is a game where anything can happen, and probably will!
