Slay The Spire 2 Is The New Silksong As Indie Games Delay Themselves To Dodge Its Blast Radius

On February 19, developer Mega Crit finally announced that Slay the Spire 2 has a release date: March 5. For those of us who would gladly sell a kidney to get our hands on the sequel to the best roguelike deckbuilder ever made (sorry, Balatro), this is incredible news. For every indie dev who was inspired to make a roguelike deckbuilder of their own following the original game’s success, however, this is potentially awful news, as Slay the Spire 2’s early access release date is smack dab in the middle of one of the busiest release periods of the year. It’s Silksong all over again, and games that were set to release around that time are now moving out of the way.
