Slay the Spire 2 gets its first new character since its massively successful launch in March as part of "biggest" beta patch yet

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" .
