Hey everyone, We hope everyone's having a good holiday season so far. While still jet lagged and recovering from sickness, we're getting back to work. The Watcher is nearly complete. Just a few more finishing touches before it's ready for the main branch!

Status Update on Slay the Spire Mobile

I know you are all very excited about the upcoming mobile version of Slay the Spire. We are too! We've hit a playable version of the game and it's looking great, you'll be able to play the full Slay the Spire experience on your phone very soon. But, we need to do another QA pass this month to ensure things are clean for the mobile launch. The good news is that thanks to the console ports we completed earlier this year all the difficult engine work is already implemented, so don't expect the unpredictable delays we had earlier this year. We had hoped to get mobile out by the end of the year but development with a custom engine can be a tricky thing. We are close, and will have another status update for you in early 2020.

Watcher content has been translated by the community into the following languages:

• German
• Dutch
• Esperanto
• French
• Italian
• Korean
• Polish
• Russian
