Slay the Spire 2, which released into early access earlier this year, is expanding once more with a major new beta update. This introduces the deckbuilder's first new character since launch - a whimsical musician armed with a bow - alongside two new modes, and more.

When Slay the Spire 2 arrived back in March, it was to much enthusiastic acclaim. Eurogamer's Bertie Purchie is a big fan, and has trumpeted its successes on multiple occasions, calling the sequel's co-op mode "transformative". And it was a commercial hit too, managing to shift over 5m copies in just a month of release. All of which means there are plenty of eyes on Slay the Spire 2, eager to see what developer MegaCrit does next.
