Slay the Spire 2 Arrives as March Releases Pile Up

March has arrived, and the first half of 2026 is entering peak release season. Indie offerings such as Scott Pilgrim EX and Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf land alongside first-party console debuts like Marathon and Pokémon Pokopia.

Many might wish those releases had been nudged back so they could spend more time with Slay the Spire 2. The Early Access release for Slay the Spire 2 is scheduled for Thursday, March 5 on PC.

Longtime readers may remember a short weekly feature called “The Week In Games.” After several years on hiatus it’s returning as a concise rundown of upcoming releases and a Monday open thread for readers to share what they plan to play.

Other highlights this week include Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered, Timberborn reaching 1.0, Poker Night at the Inventory, and a slate of additional releases across platforms such as Scott Pilgrim EX, Marathon, and Pokémon Pokopia.
