Spelunky 2 has been delayed till next year.
The reason given is that the density and detail of the game is simply demanding more time. With a game like Spelunky, this is understandable.
For those disappointed, please remember Shigeru Miyamoto’s words: A Delayed Game is Eventually Good But A Rushed Game Is Bad Forever.
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
