Updated

Slay the Spire 2 has received its biggest beta patch yet, v0.113.0, adding The Fool, its first new character since its March early access launch, plus two new game modes. The patch arrived in November 2026 from developer MegaCrit, which the current summary already credits with the update. The Fool is a silly musician who wields a bow, and MegaCrit says it is not in final form and expects a great number of content and balance changes before it reaches the main branch. The two new modes are Blitz, a condensed and chaotic deckbuilding mode unlocked by completing an Ascension run of any difficulty, and a harder mode described as brutally difficult for players who have reached Ascension 10 on all characters. Patch notes also move rest sites up one floor in every act, alongside UI, art, balance and other changes. The main branch has been updated with the previous beta's content, and players can join the public beta through Steam's Game Versions and Betas settings.
