Slay the Spire 2 is cooking a "competitive" mode, but I'm most excited about its new short-time format

Mega Crit co-founder Casey Yano outlined three possible new Slay the Spire 2 modes: a competitive mode, a shorter-time mode, and new social/multiplayer interactions.

He cautioned that the modes are tentative and might not ship if they dilute the core experience.

Yano said Mega Crit is cautious about adding many Ascension tiers and wants completion to be achievable within a reasonable time.

He hopes players can reach 100% completion in less than 100 hours and emphasized avoiding unnecessary UI complexity.
