Legendary indie dev behind hit roguelike Spelunky says we might get a third game, but it'll be "pretty different"

After almost four years of lovingly replaying Spelunky 2, independent developer Mossmouth says that fans may finally see a third roguelike gem come to fruition one day.

Following the 2020 release of Spelunky's well-received successor, many fans were left wondering whether the iconic platformer series would receive another sequel or not. Derek Yu, founder of Mossmouth and mastermind behind the beloved 2D duo, has answered burning questions regarding a third game previously, albeit vaguely. Just one year after the second Spelunky's launch, Yu spoke at the Game Developers Conference where he revealed that there wouldn't be a new sequel "any time soon." However, he confirmed that this doesn't mean a third Spelunky won't happen at some point in the future, saying to "never say never."
