Indie developer Matt Dabrowski and publisher tinyBuild are preparing for the upcoming Streets of Rogue 2’s Steam early access release. Unfortunately, the pixel-art sandbox action game is farther off than originally intended. Dabrowski initially planned to release the new game in early access in August, but he’s now shooting for this fall.
What is Streets of Rogue 2’s Steam release date?
Streets of Rogue 2 launches for PC over Steam on October 22, 2024, tinyBuild and Dabrowski announced on Friday. “The new date allows me to make the game that much better,” Dabrowski explained in a press release “The new release date will also give me time to conduct a large-scale pre-release playtest. If Streets of Rogue’s history tells me anything, this should be very beneficial to development.”
tinyBuild and Matt Dabrowski revealed the sandbox action game in August 2023, with tinyBuild announcing its initial release date last month. Streets of Rogue 2 launches in Steam early access first, with Switch, Xbox One, and PS4 versions coming later. The console versions were supposed to come this year, but it’s unclear how the delay will affect that timetable.
As the name implies, Streets of Rogue 2 is the sequel to Matt Dabrowski’s pixel art open-world Rogue-lite. The new game takes players to a “city of dreams” ruled over by a corrupt president. After the player characters decide they’ve had enough, they embark on a mission to bring him down by any means necessary. Players can pursue the revolution however they see fit, solo or with friends. However, there is only room on the throne for one.
