Why would we do that? We&#8217;ll just update the first one&#8217;.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Given you are reading an article about Slay the Spire 2, that didn&#8217;t pan out: &#8220;I guess we were a little na\u00efve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The main reason had a lot to do with Humble Games <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/humble-games-layoffs\/\">going under back in 2024<\/a>. Humble helped Mega Crit publish the game on consoles and mobile\u2014without them, those versions of the game couldn&#8217;t be supported (per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.megacrit.com\/faq\/\" target=\"_blank\">studio&#8217;s FAQ<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>Basically, it gets real hard to justify updating the PC version of your game when every single other version of it is beyond your reach to do anything about\u2014either you leave console and mobile players in the lurch, or you risk entering a publishing rights quagmire. &#8220;We couldn\u2019t just work more on Slay the Spire 1, because its future was very murky,&#8221; Yano explains.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the studio decided that if it wanted to go ahead with its plans, &#8220;it would have to be a sequel.&#8221; And, hey\u2014judging by the amount of hours I&#8217;ve spent on it already (the equivalent of around 2.8 working weeks. I need to get other hobbies) it wasn&#8217;t the worst move in the world. <\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"84e97cca-dc6e-4ef9-9e90-63079aa5ddeb\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/slay-the-spire-2-devs-werent-going-to-make-a-sequel-but-then-the-publisher-handling-the-first-games-ports-shut-down-and-things-got-very-murky.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"84e97cca-dc6e-4ef9-9e90-63079aa5ddeb\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/roguelike\/slay-the-spire-2-devs-werent-going-to-make-a-sequel-but-then-the-publisher-handling-the-first-games-ports-shut-down-and-things-got-very-murky\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slay the Spire 2 has been one of those roguelike time vampires in recent weeks, for me\u2014in between my usual binges of larger games, I tend to vanish into this genre for a bleary-eyed 80 hours because I can simply rinse and repeat, rather than having to worry about long-term narratives or complicated RPG systems.
