Bad news for Spelunky fans, but the second instalment of the game looks set to be delayed until next year.
The game, which was announced by Sony during its Paris Games Week lifestream in 2017, was due to come out sometime this year.
However, according to Derek Yu of Mossmouth, it looks like the game won’t be released this year.

Yu added that he took in the feedback he received about the environments from the trailer.
“[…] and while I still love the overall style, we’ve been adding more detail, as well as increasing the contrast to make existing details pop.”
Yu did not disclose a new release date, only telling his followers that he will let them know as soon as he can.
