Slay the Spire 2 Wins PC Gamer’s Most Wanted as Mega Crit Sets March 2026 Early Access

The sequel promises a bigger, more polished deckbuilder featuring card enchantments, enemy card manipulation, a quest system, a lore-linked timeline, plus the Necrobinder.

Overview

  • Mega Crit says Slay the Spire 2 will enter early access in March 2026, with Steam wishlisting available now.
  • Developers describe a larger production with upgraded art, animations and VFX, plus more characters, events, relics and cards than the original.
  • The team reports a robust early access launch featuring many bosses, enemies and events, likely exceeding the first game at that stage.
  • New systems include card enchantments and foes that alter your cards, alongside a quest structure and a timeline tied to the world’s lore.
  • A new playable character, the Necrobinder, fights with a pet hand named Osty that grows with HP, and the studio says the decision to make the sequel followed a literal coin flip.
