The Neowsletter - January 2025

15 Jan

Happy New Year everyone 🎉

Some of you keen-eyed players are aware that we're launching Slay the Spire 2 into Early Access this year! The rumors are true, we're still on track to release. But what day? What month?? Well, we can't say for sure yet. More news will follow sometime this year. If you want to stay up-to-date you can get the Neowsletter straight to your inbox by signing up on our website[megacrit.com]. But you can also get notified on Steam, Twitter/X, and Bluesky[bsky.app]!

For those who missed the gameplay trailer, you can view it right here by clicking that play button. We have the technology 🤖.

I know we brought it up already but we worked hard on it, okay?

A Holiday Break

We took a nice break during the second half of December so there isn't too much news to share, but if you have any burning questions that aren't covered in our FAQ[www.megacrit.com], then you can visit the Slay the Spire Official Discord[discord.com] and ask away in our #ask-the-devs channel where I'll personally refuse to answer your spoiler-related questions :)

No News, Have an Image

We were on break for some of December so I didn't prepare anything new to highlight. We worked on a trailer the last few months anyways. Here, have this nice screengrab of the main menu background.

Spire Spotting

This is the part where our Spireologists would normally tease a new enemy, but it seems that a strange pall has fallen over the Spire and the monsters are now ~shadows~ of their former selves! Our research indicates that this enemy in particular will become unobscured by next month, but in the meantime we would appreciate any predictive depictions and/or descriptions for our records. Post your artistic theories (regardless of skill level!) on Discord, Reddit, Twitter, Bluesky, etc, and we'll feature the most accurate--and most amusing--submissions in next month's Neowsletter! Something tells us that another mysterious creature will be in need of unveiling by then…

StS Connections

And now the moment you’ve all REALLY been waiting for… this month’s Slay the Spire Connections puzzle[custom-connections-game.vercel.app]! You’re welcome!

Community Roundup

Thank you to everyone who showed your Critmas spirit last month with art, crafts, decorations, custom cards, and even cooking! Here are a few of our favorite festive fan submissions…

That’s all for this month’s Neowsletter, but we’ll be back soon for February’s edition!

Meant as an discussion: My only concern for STS2 is if its gonna be "to much of the same" with no big improvments & changes.

Some sequeals i feel suffer from being TO much of the same

and then fall in a trap where 1 game ends up being "better", for example maybe STS1 will still become a better game after STS2 comes out. Then other sequals changes the formula "to much" and end up like Darkest Dungeon 2, where overall most players prefer DD1 formula & gameplay loop. So idk, as someone who loves cards games im concered they went with a Sequal to STS instead of maybe making a whole new card game instead. ːmon...

Slay the Spire 2's First Official Gameplay Trailer Is Here!

12 Dec, 2024

You didn’t think yesterday’s Neowsletter was *all* we had for you, did you? ;)

It’s been 1000 years since the Spire last opened its doors… and since we first announced that Slay the Spire 2 was in development! At long last, the gameplay reveal for the sequel to the original, iconic roguelike deckbuilder is here, as revealed earlier today at The Game Awards.

Step into the newly evolved Spire, a twisted labyrinth teeming with strange and deadly foes. With a new and returning cast of characters, adapt to an arsenal of brand new cards, relics, and potions, each offering game-changing possibilities—or dangerous consequences.

What new strategies and challenges await…?

The Neowsletter - December 2024

11 Dec, 2024

Let us all welcome winter in this month's Neowsletter! *applause* An end-of-year wrap-up seems appropriate so let's keep it simple and focus on that. Still, looking back at all the work which was accomplished by the team is a good reminder that yes, things are happening. Progress is being made. I have confidence that a beautiful video game will be spawned into the universe soon. ✨

Mega Crit 2024: A Retrospective

Announced Slay the Spire 2 to the world via an animated trailer during the Triple-i Initiative. Many thanks to Evil Empire for the opportunity.
Many copies of Slay the Spire: The Board Game were shipped out :). Great job, Contention Games!
Started The Neowsletter, what you're reading right now! A lot of extras like the fan art and upcoming merch are handled by our community manager Demi, thank you!
Worked with other game devs to set up bundles and great discounts, thank you to the IndieBI team.
Lots of new merch this year with a lot of collaboration with Makeship and The Yetee.
Hired one more person, hooray team growth!
Fully migrated engine for Slay the Spire 2 and made significant progress. Great work, Mega Crit dev team.

That was a lot of thanking! I guess this is actually the Thanksgiving Neowsletter. 🦃

Because so much of our work isn't yet publicly available, we can't give a deeper recap until next year. Something to look forward to in next year's December Neowsletter!

A Million Thank Yous

We recently topped 1 million wishlists on Steam and it's maddening to see so much faith in the sequel and us as a company. The only way for us to thank you is to do our best every day and make a good video game so that's what we'll keep doing next year.

It's truly a privilege for us to be independent game developers and I'd like to keep saying, "I make video games for a living." As a thank you, I drew a celebratory Cultist. Please enjoy.

Enemy Preview... WAIT, BEES?!

When working on sequels we ask ourselves how we can introduce new and creative ways for you to die horrifically and we whispered, "...what about bees?"

Mega Crit-mas!

Demi here, bringing good tidings: Mega Crit-mas is back!! For those of you who weren’t around last year, this is your opportunity to spread some holiday-themed Slay the Spire cheer. Tag us on Twitter[x.com] or Bluesky[bsky.app] with any original festive fan creation, be it art, writing, mods, a video, some Spire-y holiday decorations, etc, and we just might spread the cheer, too! AND if you share your work in the event channel on our Discord[discord.gg], you’ll get an exclusive role to wear with honor throughout the season!

And no holiday ambience is complete without the official Slay the Spire Yule Log, featuring some cheerful renditions of classic StS boss themes to accompany the crackling rest site flames!

And one last plug: if you’re looking for some last-minute gift ideas, you can always check our site’s merch page[megacrit.com]!

StS Connections

*Merchant voice* Ho ho ho! This month brings a more festive (though hopefully still somewhat fiendish) Slay the Spire Connections puzzle[custom-connections-game.vercel.app]!

No, thanks.

As much as I liked the first game, this "sequel" looks obviously like a cashgrab. They could just add a DLC for their first game after 6 successful years, but instead they are releasing the same game as a new game with some graphical changes and charge twice for it, clever right? Don't support those greedy developers. It's a hard pass....
