Slay the Spire 2 debuted a first look at its card-battling roguelike gameplay at The Game Awards 2024, but the deckbuilding smash hit didn't actually need a spotlight at the stage - it amassed over a million wishlists even before the show started.
Developer Mega-Crit celebrated the news in its most recent blog, posted two days before the awards show aired. "We recently topped 1 million wishlists on Steam and it's maddening to see so much faith in the sequel and us as a company," it wrote. "The only way for us to thank you is to do our best every day and make a good video game so that's what we'll keep doing next year. It's truly a privilege for us to be independent game developers and I'd like to keep saying, 'I make video games for a living.'"
