Hello everyone,

This week's patch brings further visual polish and improvements to controller support while we continue work on Steam Trading Cards and Workshop support. We also have some announcements!

Release Date

Slay the Spire will be out of Early Access on January 23, 2019.
We'll reveal more on the future of Slay the Spire and Mega Crit Games on release.

Price Increase

Anybody reading this probably owns the game. With the upcoming full release, there will be a price increase shortly after the upcoming Winter Sale so if you were planning on buying or gifting, it's a good time to do so!
