Slay The Spire 2 Outlines A Big Roadmap But Devs Aren't Rushing
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Mega Crit's April 2026 Neowsletter reveals new content plans for Slay the Spire 2, including The Bestiary, alternate versions of Acts 2 and 3, experimental game modes, and a new character, though no release dates are provided.
- The company intentionally keeps the roadmap vague to avoid deadlines, allowing the team to maintain a healthy work pace and encourage spontaneous experimentation, according to co-founder Casey Yano.
- The newsletter shares player statistics on in-game choices, such as 12% of players keeping War Historian Repy locked in a cage after obtaining the Lantern Key in Act 2.
- A surprising 63% of players choose the "Gorge" option in the Room Full of Cheese event, despite the strong benefits of the alternative "Search" option, which grants the powerful Chosen Cheese relic.
- Nearly half (49%) of players opt to eat the Byrdonis Egg in Act 1 for 7 max HP instead of adding the Byrdpip companion to their party.
