Lost Castle 2, the roguelite belt-scroll action game from Hunter Studio, left Early Access on June 11. The PC (Steam) version now unlocks content gradually through quest guides rather than making everything available from the start, a change meant to ease new players into the mechanics. The update also adds weapon enhancement options, new Soul Stone types, and two new high-difficulty tiers called Nightmare 4 and Nightmare 5, plus alternate forms for hidden bosses.
According to SteamDB, concurrent players reached 21,326 on June 12, beating the 20,280 logged at the start of Early Access in June 2024. The regular price rose to 2,000 yen (up 300 yen from Early Access), but a 30% launch discount brings it to 1,400 yen until June 25.
