## Key points

- The Fool is Slay the Spire 2’s first new character.
- Update v0.113.0 adds Blitz and Dread modes.
- The update is currently available in the Steam public beta.

## Summary

Mega Crit has put Slay the Spire 2’s largest update so far into beta, adding the game’s first new character and two new modes. The release marks a move towards larger content updates for the early access game, following the developer’s decision to slow its update pace.

Update v0.113.0 introduces The Fool, a musician who fights with a bow, and is available through the public beta branch on Steam. Blitz is a condensed, chaotic mode without a map, where gold no longer matters; Dread is a particularly difficult mode that requires players to reach Ascension with every character, including The Fool. The game launched in March, and its early access period may last about a year and a half, similar to the first game.
