The inaugural Triple-i Initiative opened with a bang this evening with the announcement of Slay the Spire 2 and you can check out the announcement reveal trailer right here, you lucky souls!
There’s not much to report at the time of writing, although there’ll surely be more to tell you about in the coming hours, so I’ll update this page as and when I find out more.
There’s a Steam page where you can already wishlist the game, and I’ve grabbed the most important info for you below:
Deckbuilding Galore – New slayers join the fray with their own sets of cards, mechanics, and personalities. Try out more archetypes and master them at your own pace. The Spire forever awaits those who dare challenge it…
An Ever-Changing Spire – The Spire isn’t what it used to be. Encounter all new enemies, events, and treasures await as the rooms and items you discover change each time you play… Try risky builds or play it safe as you explore countless different strategies, find yourself in peculiar scenarios, and confront the Bosses of each Act.
Rebuilt from the Ground Up – Slay the Spire 2 was completely rewritten from the ground up in a new game engine! We’re bringing in modern features, incorporating all-new visuals, and expanding moddability.
What I do know is that the game is going to start life in Early Access on Steam, but you’ve got a while to wait as it’s not due to land until some point in 2025. Tick tock, tick tock.

Awesome first-person rogues: Gunfire Reborn | We almost went with Blue Prince for this spot, but most people checking out first-person rogues probably want to wield a gun, you know?!
Cool roguelike deckbuilders: Balatro | Sorry, Slay the Spire fans, but this poker-solitaire deckbuilder has stolen Mike’s heart and won’t give it back.
Exciting roguelike platformers: Spelunky | Now, don’t get us wrong, Dead Cells is an incredible game, especially with all the DLC switched on. But when it comes to impact, you just can’t beat Spelunky.
Amazing action-roguelites: Hades 2 | And finally, let’s wrap things up with our favourite of them all. There’s no beating the original Hades, although Hades 2 comes pretty close!
