Slay the Spire 2

Slay the Spire 2 1.0 release: Sep 2027Not announced: our best guess from Mega Crit's 1 to 2 year Early Access plan.

Best guess

Mega Crit's Early Access FAQ on Steam says it will stay in Early Access "Until the game feels great! Last time we thought it would be about a year and it took about 1.5 years. So perhaps in the same 1 - 2 year range." We count 18 months from the Mar 5, 2026 Early Access launch, as the first game took, to the first Thursday of Sep 2027 (Mega Crit ships on Thursdays) at 10 AM Pacific, the hour of the Early Access launch.

Painted artwork: a figure in a green hood with a horned animal skull for a face and a glowing dagger in front, a skeleton in a purple robe with a scythe at the upper right, a blue-skinned figure with a beak-like face and a robot with a red eye in the middle, and a huge clawed hand at the right, all among scattered cards, with a tall black tower rising into a swirling red and orange sky.

A huge blue stone head with a jagged red mouth and three glowing yellow eyes in a cave of waterfalls. A dialog box reads construct, what, have you become, and lists three options: Precise Scissors, remove 1 card from your deck; Arcane Scroll, obtain a random rare card; Silver Crucible, the first 3 card rewards you see are upgraded, the first treasure chest you open is empty. The name Neow is printed at the bottom left.

A skeleton in a red robe with a purple flame for hair holds up a bony hand beside a giant pink skeletal hand, on a magenta background. A panel names The Necrobinder with 66 of 66 HP and 99 gold and the relic Bound Phylactery. Below, an Ascension selector reads No Ascension, and five character portraits sit in a row.

A green-cloaked figure with a horned animal skull for a face stands with folded arms in a dim red tent hung with lanterns, jars and an animal skull. Opposite, a figure in a blue hood with a pale mask sits cross-legged on a green rug with cards laid out, a star-shaped sign with a percent symbol and a coin purse nearby. A red arrow reads Proceed.

A dark tangle of tendrils with many small red and orange eyes around one big yellow eye. Beside it the title Symbiote and the text: along your travels, you stumble upon a dark, amorphous polyp; you can sense that it is very old, and very evil. Two buttons: Approach, enchant an Attack with Corrupted; Kill with Fire, choose a card to Transform. The top bar shows 5 of 72 HP and 314 gold.

Tall painted cover: the words Slay the Spire in yellow lettering beside a big turquoise numeral two, a dark tower behind them in an orange sky full of flying cards, a horned skull-faced figure in green with a dagger at the bottom left and a skeleton with a scythe at the top right.

A golden robot with a blue cloak stands in a dark jungle ruin with three glowing orbs beside it and 75 of 75 HP, facing a large blue lizard-like creature with a toothy mouth. A hand of cards is fanned at the bottom, the middle one raised: Rip and Tear, an attack costing 1. The energy counter shows 2 of 3 and a button reads End Turn 3.

Four characters stand on dark wooden planks on the left: a skeleton with a scythe, a fighter with a sword, a hooded figure with a tall wooden headdress and a green-cloaked figure lunging with a blade. On the right a huge gray eel covered in red eyes floats over the dock with a health bar reading 17 of 616, Terror Eel, and a big 17 above it. Six cards are fanned at the bottom.
