Slay the Spire 2 roadmap – all updates coming in 2026

Looking for a Slay the Spire 2 roadmap? Though there isn’t currently an official roadmap, there have been teases and hints from trailers and the early access version of the game about what to expect from future updates and content. And, of course, what fans would love to see make its way from the first game into Slay the Spire 2.

There’s already a lot to explore in the early access version of Slay the Spire 2, with five playable characters, three acts, and ten Ascension levels to chip away at. Within each act there are also events like the Colossal Flower event and rewards and items, like the Lantern Key and Byrdonis Egg. While there’s plenty to chew through, here’s what’s on the way in future updates.

Slay the Spire 2 roadmap

Mega Crit doesn’t currently have a roadmap available, but the developer says on the Slay the Spire 2 Steam page that it expects to be in early access for around the same amount of time as the first game, “perhaps in the same 1 – 2 year range.”

Here’s what we expect to arrive in future Slay the Spire 2 updates:

Ascensions

There are currently ten Slay the Spire 2 Ascension levels, with varying levels of difficulty for each character. In the first game, there are 20 ascension levels, so we are expecting more levels to be added in the future.

Act 4

There are three acts in Slay the Spire 2, and with each act you heal and gain rewards, defeating the boss at the end to unlock new characters, ascension levels, and more.

In the first game, a fourth and final act added the Corrupt Heart boss, and if you’ve gotten to the end of Act 3 in Slay the Spire 2, it does hint that more is on the way. Whether Act 4 will be the final act, or if future acts could be added alongside, we’ll see, but we already know that a fight against the teased Architect boss is coming.

New characters

At the very end of the early access trailer, there’s a glimpse of what looks like a new character, though not much has been given away about their abilities.

Fans have been hoping that The Watcher, the fourth character from the first game, would make their way into the second game. However, it doesn’t look like the next character will be The Watcher if the trailer is anything to go by.

Now you’re caught up on what to expect from the Slay the Spire 2 roadmap and updates, here’s how to master the Regent and how to unlock all characters in the game.
