Spelunky 2 builds upon the unique, randomized challenges that made the original a roguelike classic, offering a huge adventure designed to satisfy players old and new. Meet the next generation of explorers as they find themselves on the Moon, searching for treasure and missing family.

Story

The story follows Ana Spelunky, the daughter of Guy Spelunky, the intrepid explorer at the heart of the original adventure. When her parents go missing, Ana sets out to find them, following their trail all the way to the Moon. There she descends into a labyrinth of deadly caves teeming with hostile creatures, cunning traps, and hidden treasures, drawing on inspiration from a host of ancient cultures and their mythological figures. Each expedition into the depths presents a fresh and perilous challenge, the winding passages shifting and rearranging with every attempt. Armed with courage and whatever tools she can scavenge along the way, Ana must brave these ever-changing subterranean worlds in a determined search for the family she refuses to give up on.

What is happening now

Spelunky 2 is a roguelike platformer that expands on the original's cave-diving formula with new levels, enemies, and mechanics across multiple procedurally-generated runs. Released in September 2020, it arrived on PlayStation platforms before seeing a wider rollout to Xbox and Nintendo Switch. The game has continued to draw community attention through player-created mods, including a recent addition that imports content from the original Spelunky HD directly into the sequel. This kind of ongoing modding activity reflects how Spelunky 2 remains a focal point for players invested in both entries of the franchise.
