Deadzone Rogue 2 Announced - Thank You!
We've been quietly working on something for a while, and today we're finally ready to announce it: Deadzone Rogue 2. To the 750,000+ players who made this moment possible, we truly appreciate your support. Thank you so much, from our entire team!
Why We're Creating a Sequel
We’re having a blast building Deadzone Rogue, and players are asking for more! Deadzone Rogue 2 gives us the chance to expand on everything we love about the original while introducing new ideas, deeper systems, and a larger world to explore. Many of these ideas go beyond what would fit naturally into the existing game, which is why we felt a sequel was the right way to realize them. For more info on 'why a sequel', please check out this expanded post.
What's New in Deadzone Rogue 2
Deadzone Rogue 2 takes the fight to Earth, where Talon 13-10 continues humanity’s battle against Monarch. For the first time, Deadzone Rogue 2 introduces new abilities, adding more variety to builds, combat, and co-op party composition. We’re also adding hostile new environments, enemies, bosses, perks, items, music, and expanded mission variety. Progression is being redesigned to support deeper specialization and experimentation, with crazier action, playstyles, and new ways to break the game.
