Slay The Spire 2 Finally Enters Early Access Next Month With New Co-Op Mode

Mega Crit has announced that Slay the Spire 2 will be released into early access on Steam on March 5. When it does come out, it'll feature a co-op mode that lets you experience the rougelike with friends.

Slay the Spire 2's co-op mode will let groups of up to four players go on a run together. It will actually give you access to multiplayer-specific cards that emphasize teamwork and ability synergy, so those who typically play roguelikes solo will have a reason to check it out.

The original Slay the Spire is a classic roguelike, with its approach to card-based combat and encounter-driven runs becoming particularly influential for the genre. This sequel was first announced in 2024 and was going to be released last year before a delay to March 2026. This new gameplay trailer finally gave us the firm March 5 early-release date, which it shares with Pokemon Pokopia and Marathon.
