Slay The Spire II Launches Today For Early Access

The phenomenon from Mega Crit – Slay the Spire – remains a fond release when it shipped more than half a decade ago in 2019. However, things are heating up with a proper sequel this week. Originally, Slay the Spire II was promised to aim for a 2025 release. But, things shifted for the developer since then with a new release date set for March 5th.

Well, the day has finally arrived, and Slay the Spire II has officially arrived in the form of Early Access on Steam. You can watch the Early Access trailer in the video below:

“We’re so excited for you all to see for yourselves what we’ve been working on for the past 5 years. If you’ve been keeping up with our monthly Neowsletters, you already know that this reawakened Spire has a LOT of new features and content compared to the one you may already know, but there’s plenty more to discover and much more on the way,” Mega Crit penned in the launch post for Slay the Spire II.

“For 1,000 years, the Spire lay dormant, its secrets buried and its horrors forgotten. Now, it has reopened, hungrier and more dangerous than ever, devouring all who dare to ascend. New perils demand sharper strategies, relentless cunning, and unwavering resolve. Outwit the Spire’s brutal trials and uncover the truths hidden at its peak.”

The team also injected: “For those who have never ventured into the Spire before, you don’t need any prior experience with Slay the Spire 1 to enjoy what Slay the Spire 2 has to offer. Now is a great time to dive right in and ascend the Spire, either on your own or—this time around—with your friends! […] The Spire truly is ever-changing… in more ways than one. While Slay the Spire 2 already has more content than Slay the Spire 1, even more content—including cards, events, environments, enemies, and more—will be added and balanced throughout Early Access.”
