STS2 Patch Notes — 2025-05-29

It's the last weekly patch... of May 2025 that is!

Okay okay, this week brings back the game mode: Custom.

It's called Custom Climb and is available for both Singleplayer and Multiplayer. Daily Climbs are now also available for Multiplayer. It'll be interesting to see how scores differ between a variety of group sizes.

Multiplayer also gets more interesting with the addition of cards exclusive for multiplayer!

These cards are sold by the Merchant, but depending on their popularity we may look into expanding how you get them and how much of this kind of content there is :).

We're deprecating a few Neow choices as we'll be bringing in changes here next week and potions are getting renames as their art assets will be getting a fresh look soon. Okay have fun.
