Slay the Spire 2 finally locks in early access date, and we’ll all be building decks very soon

It's somehow been over seven years since Slay the Spire launched on Steam, and its sequel is apparently ready to join the fray in early access after a wait that felt like it would never end. Slay the Spire 2, one of the most wishlisted titles on Steam, is finally unleashing onto PC in just a couple of weeks. The original game was a driving force behind the explosive popularity of roguelike deckbuilders, and now the devs at Mega Crit have returned to take the crown once more.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW22jwFNxU8 In a new Early Access Trailer released this afternoon, Slay the Spire 2 teased what to expect from the launch on PC that will eventually also come to console and mobile like its predecessor after the game's initial EA release. As was the case with the original, the early access launch allows Mega Crit to include the players in its early stages of development all the way through 1.0 launch across multiple platforms, so PC gamers can get in on the ground floor to help shape it. "It sounds corny, but the extra mile many of you went to report issues, translate content/announcements, create long video essays, make excellent (lol) tier lists, and draw goofy or gorgeous fan art is the reason we're doing it all again," Mega Crit said of releasing STS2 in early access again. "We love our job!" Slay the Spire is one of the first roguelike deck builders I remember playing, and it's been fun to see the genre take shape even more since it launched back in 2019. Now, gamers are chomping at the bit to see what new fun stuff the devs are cooking up this time. "Step into the newly evolved Spire, a twisted labyrinth teeming with strange and deadly foes," the game's description says. "Adapt to an arsenal of brand new cards, relics, and potions, each offering game-changing possibilities—or dangerous consequences. Climb the Spire with a new and returning cast of characters, each with their own cards, motives, and secrets. No two climbs are ever the same. Unpredictable challenges and evolving strategies await those brave—or foolish—enough to ascend."
