Slay the Spire 2 updates are slowing down again, but don’t fear, it’s all in the name of more modes, an alternate Act 2, and a character with a bandaged foot
Mega Crit is slowing the pace of Slay the Spire 2 beta updates again so it can devote more time to larger additions rather than frequent smaller changes. The developer says the shift is temporary but cannot promise a regular schedule, and it matters because players are awaiting substantial new content during the game’s early-access period.
Planned work includes experimental game modes, an alternative version of Act 2, and a new character, teased only through an image of a bandaged foot. Mega Crit also said Ascension 10 is likely to remain near the highest difficulty instead of returning to Ascension 20, enchantments will not become stackable, and Defect will not receive a realistic-looking gun.
- Slay the Spire 2 updates will become less frequent temporarily.
- Mega Crit is prioritising larger modes, content and a new character.
- Ascension 10 is likely to remain the top difficulty.

Slay the Spire 2 is a deck-building game from Mega Crit, in which players build a set of cards as they progress through a series of challenges. It is being developed in early access, so players can try it while the studio continues to add content and make changes.
Mega Crit is the independent studio behind the game, and its updates shape what players can try during early access. New modes, changes to the game’s acts and additional characters can affect how much variety the game offers and how difficult its challenges are.
