New Spelunky 2 Gameplay Trailer Reveals Online Multiplayer And New Characters

PlayStation has posted the first gameplay trailer for Spelunky 2, the sequel to one of the best indie platform games of all time. The trailer was posted alongside an interview with the creator of the original Spelunky, Derek Yu, who revealed additional insight into the sequel.

"Since Spelunky 1 was released, a lot of great roguelike-inspired games have come out and pushed the genre in cool new directions, but I think Spelunky is still very unique in terms of the freedom it offers the player and the way different elements interact, where one event can trigger a cascade of consequences that have to be dealt with," Yu said. "At its core, Spelunky 2 is not too different [from the first game]. My opinion about sequels is that they are extensions of the previous games, so I want fans of Spelunky 1 to jump in and feel like they're playing a continuation, both storywise and mechanically."

Yu later explains that Spelunky 2 is not a mirror image of the original, and does have a few differences. The most notable change is the addition of a second layer to every level. You'll be able to hop between each layer, and occasionally use one as a shortcut for the other. Yu feels like this adds a "third dimension" to the 2D game. "And then there's all the expected new areas, items, monsters, and traps," Yu added. "It really is a lot."

The Spelunky 2 gameplay trailer only lists the PS4 as a platform for the game, but the game is coming to PC too. The original Spelunky released on PC, before making its way to the Xbox 360, PS3, PSVita, and PS4.

Spelunky 2 is scheduled for 2019.

Kenny Omega's AEW Dynamite Entrance Is A Love Letter To Undertale

It's no secret that professional wrestler and executive vice-president of All Elite Wrestling Kenny Omega loves video games. And on the October 30 episode of TNT's weekly wrestling show, AEW Dynamite, Omega showed off his love for Undertale . Before he entered the ring, his video package played a 16-bit cutscene that was very reminiscent of the game, featuring a yellow and red disembodied head, which is totally a knock at the New Japan Pro Wrestling's logo--a company Omega wrestled for--explaining Omega left all his friends and now, he's all alone. This includes a silhouette of Omega's former tag team partner, Kota Ibushi. You can check out the video for yourself below. The sound effects and dialogue from the end of that section are taken directly from Undertale. After the video package ended, Omega entered wearing a Sans mask, while Megalovania--the song from the game--played in the arena. Surprisingly, this worked incredibly well as entrance music for one of t...
