On Wednesday, Slay the Spire 2 debuted a short trailer that seemed to confirm the return of the Ironclad and Silent classes while introducing a brand new character – the Necrobinder. The official description for the new character reads: “A wandering necromancer who seeks to unite with the forgotten corpse. He calls upon his faithful left-hand man, Osty, to battle.”

In addition to the trailer, Mega Crit included several gameplay screens, which are stylistically very similar to the previous game.
First released in 2019, Slay the Spire has garnered a huge fan base with its innovative blend of roguelite mechanics, turn-based combat, and deckbuilding. “Slay the Spire encourages experimentation, gives you time to make mistakes, and will challenge you intensely as you navigate your way through floor after floor of engaging, puzzle-based combat. It’s an idea so good it’s inspired dozens of games like it before it even left Early Access, but it’s executed so well that none of them even come close,” IGN wrote in its official review.

Notably, Mega Crit was one of the companies that publicly condemned Unity's pricing policy, threatening to migrate to a new graphics engine unless Unity's changes were "fully." A Mega Crit spokesperson confirmed that Slay the Spire 2 has moved away from Unity entirely and will instead use Godot - a free and open-source cross-platform graphics engine.
Slay the Spire 2 is expected to enter early access in 2025.
