In true roguelike fashion, Slay the Spire 2 is only being made because of a 50/50 coin flip

"And the remainder is history"

Imagine a second, alternate mentation of our world. Everything is the same, connected the surface. The entity is blue, the system is successful shambles; it's the unnatural bid of things. And yet, you cannot assistance but consciousness thing is different. Like there's thing missing, oregon possibly replaced. Ah, determination it is - Slay the Spire 2 is not a crippled that adjacent remotely exists. As it turns out, this world, our world, wherever the roguelike called Slay the Spire 2 does, oregon alternatively will, exist, is lone the satellite we beryllium successful acknowledgment to the flip of a coin.

This, I would similar to beryllium clear, is not a joke. "We had been moving connected a clump of tiny projects, small prototypes, and were having amusive but said 'okay, let's get unneurotic again,'" explained Mega Crit co-founder Anthony Giovannetti told PC Gamer successful a caller interview. Apparently this was during Covid, and some Giovannetti and Casey Yano were looking for their adjacent due project.

According to Giovannetti, a Slay the Spire sequel wasn't the lone thought they had. "We had antithetic paths we could enactment on," helium explained. "One was a wholly antithetic project, and 1 was the sequel. I thought determination were immoderate absorbing plan challenges to enactment connected a sequel with. We ended up flipping a coin, actually, and Slay the Spire 2 won out. So we started moving connected it, and the remainder is history."

The coin flip itself isn't thing Giovannetti witnessed archetypal hand, it was Yano that did it implicit a Discord call, which the erstwhile notes was "maybe questionable," but helium inactive believes helium was told "true result. I deliberation Casey would've massively preferred the coin went the different way, due to the fact that I was ever the paper crippled person, and helium was the enactment crippled person."

There is thing much joyful, to me, than seeing the creator of a happening prosecute successful an workout that is truthful straight tied to the benignant of happening that they make. In this case, it is Mega Crit playing with that fickle crippled called chance, successful the hopes that it volition enactment out, that they will, if they're fortunate enough, slay the spire. But possibly don't bash this if you aren't virtually the folks who made Slay the Spire, this isn't a constituent successful past to beryllium taking unnecessary risks.

Slay the Spire 2 is presently slated for merchandise connected a "secret Thursday" successful March 2026, wherever you'll beryllium capable to play it successful aboriginal access. You tin wishlist it connected Steam here.
