Procedural open-world Streets Of Rogue is a roguelike immersive sim sequel planned for release on Steam in 2023.

This time, the immersive sim shenanigans are going open-world. The Steam page also provides some inkling of what else is coming when the game launches in 2023. Did I mention it’s coming out in 2023?

Streets Of Rogue dev Matt Dabrowskirevealedhe was working on a sequel back in April 2020. Dabrowski acknowledged that the original game had expanded to the point that adding new features was losing its impact, and potentially risked breaking or unbalancing things. “I’d like to take Streets Of Rogue in some big new directions,” Dabrowski said, “but it’s tough to do so within the current structural confines of the game I’ve created." He seems to have managed to work in the touted vehicles and open-world structure.

Open-world roguelite Streets Of Rogue 2 launches on Steam in 2023.

Brendy (RPS in peace) gave the first game a Bestest Bests in hisStreets Of Rogue review, happy to accept the game’s messiness for its huge variety. “It’s a daft miscellany of violent mobsters and unseen assassins, criss-crossing feuds and small mistakes that snowball into bloody knife fights,” he said. “If you want a tiny, variedDeus Exthat will make you laugh, this is it.”

Streets Of Rogue 2 is aiming for a 2023 release onSteam. I’m interested to see what else I can drive trucks through.
