You're gonna have to wait a bit longer to murder the steeple for a second time, with Slay The Spire II's early access release having just been delayed until March next year. Developers Mega Crit have at least cushioned the blow by revealing the day of the week it'll arrive. "After a lot of internal discussion, we've made the call to move Slay the Spire 2's Early Access launch to a secret Thursday in March 2026," Mega Crit wrote in their September newsletter on Steam. With that out of the way, the devs teased another of Slay the Spire 2's new features, alternate acts. The game won't launch with all of the planned alternate acts in place, with some set to arrive down the line as part of early access updates.
