Slay The Spire 2 outlines a big roadmap, but the developers are in no rush

Hot on the heels of being bombed for the second time in the space of a monthMega Crit has just published its monthly newsletter “Newsletter”. However, unlike most newsletters in recent memory, this one actually contains a lot of juicy information about Slay the Spire 2’s future, including a very rough roadmap of the game’s future content and some stats on a few select options in the game.

As detailed in Newsletter April 2026Mega Crit is working hard to finalize a bunch of new content Slay the Spire 2including The Bestiary (which will allow players to “see and learn about the enemies in the game”), alternate versions of Act 2 and Act 3, some new “experimental” game modes, and the new character they teased earlier this month.

That said, don’t get too excited as there are no specific dates when we can expect any of this content. According to Mega Crit co-founder Casey Yano, the newsletter’s vague roadmap is vague by choice, as choosing not to burden the team with deadlines allows them to “work at a healthy pace” and also helps inspire “spontaneous experimentation.”

Yano also decided to share a handful of stats from some of the events you can find in Unknown Location Nodes, such as how 12 percent of players choose to keep War Historian Repy locked in his cage after going through the trouble of stealing the Lantern Key in Act 2.

However, the most puzzling statistic to me is that a whopping 63 percent of you choose “Gorge” in the Cheese Room event. I know there’s some appeal to adding two of the eight cards to your deck, but the chosen cheese relic you get when you choose the “Search” option is so ridiculously strong. Getting 1 max HP after every fight might not sound like much on paper, but once you’re in Act 3, it’s likely earned you an extra 20-30 max HP.

Oh, and yes…it also turns out that 49 percent of you savages chose to eat Byrdonis’ egg in Act 1, instead of adding the friendly Byrdpip to your party. I mean, hey, I can hardly blame you; after all it’s 7 HP max.
