MegaCrit has just given us all something to look forward to next month by confirming the release date for Slay the Spire 2, which is now pinned down to March 5th, 2026.

After a delay last year, the Early Access release of this hugely anticipated deckbuilder sequel had been pencilled in for a March launch, but I thought it was coming in the back half of the month, if I’m honest with you.

I’m just delighted that it hasn’t been pushed back again. Kieran and I were discussing the likelihood of another delay, but it seems as though MegaCrit gave themselves enough time to get Slay the Spire 2 ready.

The release date announcement post over on Steam also mentions the game’s new co-op mode, which will allow up to four players to ascend the spire together. Consider me intrigued.

Supporting the announcement, there’s a new trailer, which I’ve embedded below for your convenience. There’s also this round-up of the basics surrounding Slay the Spire 2, but you probably know all that stuff anyway!

Still with me? Of course you are! If you want to keep reading about great hand-picked roguelikes, this website is absolutely chock-full of them. Head over to the Guides Page for a concentrated hit of roguish games, organised via sub-genre and platform.

What’s more, there are always going to be new lists for emerging trends as well as fresh titles to highlight. This is because my backlog is embarrassingly long, and so I’m always trying to balance the new games that arrive in my inbox with playing the stuff I already have.
