What Happened
Mega Crit released Slay the Spire 2 in early access over a month ago. The studio is now on a 'road to version 1.0', focusing on fixing major issues, improving feedback systems, polishing visuals, and reworking content. Co-founder Casey Yano stated the studio has not set finite deadlines for new features and will not massively expand its team size to finish faster. Since launch, players have completed 145 million runs, averaging about 3.3 million per day. The game was reportedly the biggest-selling title on Steam in March, generating estimated revenue of approximately $108 million.
Why this Matters to You
If you are a player of Slay the Spire 2, you may see continuous improvements to the game's balance, visuals, and audio as the studio works through its roadmap. The planned addition of Steam Workshop support could eventually allow you to access and create custom content. Support for more languages may make the game accessible to a wider audience. The commitment to a healthy development pace suggests updates will be substantive but may not arrive on a predictable schedule.
What's Next
Mega Crit's ongoing tasks include fixing bugs, improving performance, balancing the game, and polishing audio and visuals. Planned features include Steam Workshop support, a Bestiary for viewing enemies, and experimental game modes. Planned new content includes an Alternate Act 2, a New Character, an Alternate Act 3, and more cards, events, relics, and potions. Future plans also include ports to other consoles, platforms, and mobile, as well as Steam Achievements & Trading Cards. An endless mode or matchmaking is likely not to be released anytime soon.
