— Mega Crit ⚔️ Slay the Spire 2 Coming March 2026! (@MegaCrit) September 11, 2025
Mega Crit, the team behind the popular card-battling roguelike, made the announcement. They confirmed the game’s Early Access debut is now slated for March 2026. This news came via their September ‘The Neowsletter’ publication, which you can read here. This wasn’t a sudden decision, but followed many internal discussions. Simply put, they decided more development time is needed. The goal is to ensure the game meets their high quality standards for players.
Fans can expect continued updates on the game’s progress through ‘The Neowsletter.’ Mega Crit hopes everyone will stay excited for Slay The Spire 2’s eventual arrival. The sequel first broke cover at The Game Awards 2024. It certainly sparked a lot of buzz among those who loved the first game. Players are eager to see the new characters, fresh cards, and even tougher enemies.
And just to clear the air, the Mega Crit team added a little wink at the end: “Oh right, don’t blame Silksong!”
