Slay the Spire 2\u2018s first week is in the books, and it\u2019s been a wild one<\/a>. The deckbuilding roguelike blew the first game\u2019s launch out of the water, and it\u2019s barely even gotten started yet. Developer Mega Crit Games flagged some quick fixes and sales milestones in its first debrief with the sequel\u2019s growing community on Steam.<\/p>\n

The $25 game has already sold 3 million copies (roughly $75 million before Steam takes its cut), and players have already gone on over 250,000,000 runs. That\u2019s over 80 runs per person, on average, for those counting at home. \u201cOur team has been extremely excited to see so many people\u2019s enthusiasm for what we\u2019ve been working on for the past 5 years\u2013but our journey is just beginning,\u201d community manager Demi wrote in the studio\u2019s latest blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The game is only in Early Access, so everyone\u2019s wondering what new content and changes are coming down the road. Mega Crit confirmed it\u2019s not ready to share a roadmap or timeline yet, but it has teased the areas it\u2019ll be focusing on in the weeks ahead:<\/p>\n

\u2013 A revamp of the badge\/scoring system and a friends-only leaderboard filter
\u2013 Phobia accessibility mode
\u2013 More art and VFX
\u2013 Ongoing balance patches
\u2013 Steam Workshop support
\u2013 Multiplayer QOL features
\u2013 Official Twitch plugin integration<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a new public beta testing branch for the game in Steam that players can opt into if they want to try out upcoming changes before they go live in the full release. That includes a balance patch<\/a> that tweaks a recent exploit that made it possible for players to become godlike. \u201cPlayers, enemies, and pets can no longer have their HP increased above 999,999,999,\u201d the development team announced in the game\u2019s latest patch notes.<\/p>\n

The rest of the changes are mostly bug fixes, including in the game\u2019s fun but occasionally chaotic multiplayer mode (you battle with friends and queue card commands simultaneously). The team is also addressing various softlock states and slowly adding card art for those that were missing it at launch. Because, believe it or not, Slay the Spire 2 is still far from finished. It\u2019s already pretty damn good, though<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Slay the Spire 2\u2018s first week is in the books, and it\u2019s been a wild one.
