Slay the Spire 2 beta patch adds new solo and co-op modes

Mega Crit plans to release the next big Slay the Spire 2 beta patch on November 12, 2026, and it is the first to include the experimental game modes the studio has kept secret for months. 

The developer set the date in its Neowsletter, where it described the release as "currently planned" for that day. At the time of writing, Mega Crit had not yet posted patch notes on Steam.

Details are thin by design. The studio said the new content would have more impact the less it revealed beforehand. Co-founder Casey Yano did confirm one thing in the newsletter's Q&A: the new game modes will work in both single-player and multiplayer. He would not say how many modes are coming or how they play.

Slay the Spire 2 just got a chunky update, but you'll have to brave the beta branch if you want to play The Fool

MegaCrit has just confirmed that Slay the Spire 2’s latest update is a big one, and it’s available to download right now in the beta branch.

The long-awaited update adds a whole new character, The Fool, as well as two new game modes, Blitz and Dread, and a bunch of other changes to facilitate the new character, pictured below.

The patch notes on Steam detail a huge array of quality-of-life changes, the two new modes, and introduce a fresh face. Here’s how MegaCrit describes the newest addition to the roster:

A silly musician who wields a bow! How can such a whimsical creature survive within the Spire? Why, that’s up to you! We expect to make a great number of content and balance changes before the Fool is ready for the main branch. Even more importantly, be sure to have fun figuring out all the strategies and story of this gently bard. It would be foolish not to!
