  • New features include mid-combat generation via Enchanted Inky Shivs and the integration of Badges into run history and future statistics.

  • In March 2026, a major update rolled back Silent changes and reintroduced stronger Necrobinder cards like Capture Spirit and Borrowed Time, while signaling a full release date in the Early Access window.

  • The patch brings UI/UX improvements, multiplayer stability, localization updates, and widespread bug fixes across systems, enemies, events, and potions/relics.

  • Doormaker boss fights received tuning to raise difficulty and sharpen decision-making during encounters.

  • Patch v0.102.0 reworks several cards and mechanics across Silent, Necrobinder, and Doormaker, highlighting changes to Blade of Ink, Borrowed Time, and Doormaker’s Grasp.

  • This April update also expands Badges and includes a range of balance and QoL updates.

  • Balance changes affect Ascension 6 cost dynamics for card removal, Silent’s combat tools (Leading Strike, Shivs), and related events like Skulking Colony and Hungry for Mushrooms.

  • The April patch is described as a major shake-up, with beta patch v0.102.0 officially released.

  • April 2026 brings a big patch to Slay the Spire 2, introducing a new end-of-run feature (Badges), balance tweaks, and quality-of-life changes.

  • Mega Crit sustained momentum with regular patches, including the March update that restored the stronger Necrobinder cards and adjusted Silent’s Prepared, along with broad gameplay changes.

  • Mega Crit’s Early Access release (March 5, 2026) introduces new cards, enemies, bosses, and a four-player co-op mode, with concurrent Steam players peaking above 282,000.
