Slay the Spire 2 Surpassed Industry Giants in the List of Most Anticipated Games for March 2026
SteamDB has published its March rundown of the most anticipated Steam releases. Sitting at No. 1 is the card roguelike Slay the Spire 2, which jumps the timeline a thousand years beyond the original.
In second place came Crimson Desert — a sprawling open-world action title from the devs behind Black Desert. The bronze spot belongs to Marathon, a sci-fi extraction shooter from Bungie (Halo/Destiny devs); its recent open beta drew a peak of 143,000 concurrent players on Steam.
Also making it into the top ten most desired were: the sandbox [Everwinding? Everwind?] — wait, must keep original title — [Everw ind? No — keep link unchanged] the sandbox Everwind, the post-apocalyptic shooter SAND, the tactical RPG Solasta 2, the Roman city-building simulator Nova Roma, Hideo Kojima’s adventure action Death Stranding 2, the unusual roguelike RACCOIN, and John Carpenter’s zombie shooter Toxic Commando.
