Slay the Spire 2

About Slay the Spire 2

Slay the Spire 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the genre-defining roguelike deckbuilder. Developed and published by Mega Crit, the game launched into Early Access on March 5, 2026, on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It features five playable characters, a brand new co-op mode for up to four players, hundreds of new cards and relics, and two entirely new environments to explore. With over 188,000 Steam reviews across its lifecycle, Slay the Spire 2 builds on everything fans loved about the original while introducing bold new mechanics.

In Slay the Spire 2, players ascend a procedurally generated spire by constructing a deck of cards, discovering powerful relics, and choosing a path filled with elite enemies, campfires, shops, and mysterious events. Each run is unique, and death is permanent — but knowledge carries over, encouraging experimentation with different characters, strategies, and synergies.
