- August 2026 Patch Notes - 18 August 2026
Bug Fixes Gameplay fix: When Vendetta has Frost Web active and gets his orange storm normal attack hit, he can no longer continue this original combo before starting his Frost Web retaliation combo. Instead, the original combo stops there, and Vendetta must start his retaliation combo immediately. Gameplay fix: When Dragon Midori has the green gem storm active, he now correctly loses 1 meter at end of combat first, then gains 1 meter at end of turn for not playing a super, instead of the other way around. Fixed incoming live-online games sometimes accidentally stomping over Career or Async gamestates, when you get matched in live-online while playing Career or Async. Fixed "$P0" and "$P1" sometimes appearing on screen instead of player names, in online games with console players. Fixed a rare "Error: Could not enter the match" in async online games. Fixed replays where Midori ends the m…
- Yomi 2 - Developer Stream at 6pm Eastern - 4 August 2025
Hey there Yomi fans! Join Sirlin Games dev Leontes on his journey to become the best card gamer in Fairview City at 6pm Eastern right here on Steam!Broadcast linkDiscordBlog Post
- Yomi 2 - Leaving Early Access! - 4 August 2025
The road to becoming the best card gamer in Fairview City begins... Yomi 2 is now officially released on Steam and Epic Games Store! The Journey Yomi 2 is a card game many years in the making. David Sirlin, Lead Designer and CEO of Sirlin Games, has been developing and designing fighting games since 2008's Super Street Fighter II: HD Remix. In 2011, he released the original Yomi as a card game emulation of the fighting game genre, which later became a digital release on Steam and fostered a large community of the cross section between card-gamers looking for an alternative to CCGs and fighting game players looking for a new fighter to explore. We also released Fantasy Strike in 2017, a true-blue fighting game featuring the characters from the Yomi universe that you can play right now for free on Steam, PS4/5 and Nintendo Switch 1/2. With Yomi 2, we're going back to our board game roots…
- July 14th Yomi 2 Patch Notes - 15 July 2025
Yomi 2 digital update! This time, we’ve added “Asynchronous Online” mode, a few optimizations under the hood, and some bug fixes as usual.July 14th, 2025 PATCH NOTES--------------------------------------------------NEW CONTENTAsynchronous online games are here! In an async game, you don't need to be online at the same time as your opponent. Instead, you can make your move whenever you're ready, then go offline and your opponent has up to 72 hours to make their move, and so on. Like play-by-mail games, async games give you the flexibility of playing multiple games in parallel, at your own pace, without needing to schedule things as tightly as for a live online game.If you happen to both be online at the same time, of course, the moves can happen much quicker, as in a live online game! The game handles both cases seamlessly, so play as slow or as fast as you like. The server will send you…

- March 24th, 2025 Patch Notes - 25 March 2025
Yomi 2 digital update dropped last night; a new replay feature to watch a player’s last played game, some changes to online gameflow, and bug fixes. Check them out below! March 24th, 2025 PATCH NOTES ------------------------------------------------------------------ NEW CONTENT You can now watch the replay for any player's last online match with a given character. On the leaderboards or on the profile screen, a new button lets you "Watch latest game" for that player. The leaderboards rows are character-specific and let you see the latest game played with that character, while the profile screen's "Watch latest game" just shows you the latest game overall.

- March 4th, 2025 Patch Notes - 4 March 2025
Yomi 2 update; this time focusing mostly on fleshing out the “ranked” online queue experience; there’s now online rankings, leaderboards, player profiles, an XP system, and more. March 4th, 2025 PATCH NOTES ------------------------------------------------------------------ NEW CONTENT —Online rankings. In Live Play Online games, rankings are divided into Student leagues (Student 1 to Student 10), Master leagues (Bronze E to Bronze A, Silver E to Silver A, Gold E to Gold A, Diamond E to Diamond A), and the Legend league. Student leagues rank up all characters together, while Master and Legend leagues use character-specific rankings. You gain stars for winning, gain extra stars for consecutive wins, and in the master leagues, lose a star for losing a match. Fill up the stars for your current rank to promote to the next division. —New XP system, parallel to this ranking system, which mostl…

- January 8th, 2025 Patch Notes - 9 January 2025
Yomi 2 update; mostly some multiplayer game flow fixes, including a match timer option, but also some UI updates and bugfixes. Check out the full notes below. January 8th, 2025 PATCH NOTES ------------------------------------------------------------------ New Content Match timers for online games. When a match uses timers, each player has an on-screen meter of 3 bars of time. The timer depletes if it's your turn to act, and when it reaches zero, the game automatically plays a timeout move for you, which is usually "Done" or playing the leftmost hand card. "Live Online" matches (from the matchmaking queue) now use slow timers. Online friend matches default to not using timers, but you can now choose to use them anyway, setting them to Slow, Normal, or Fast speeds. Some details: —You start at a full 3 bars and can never gain more than that. —When you start your main phase, you gain +1 tim…

Another update for Yomi 2; we’ve added two new characters to the base roster (free for everyone who owns the game!) and a new location for the campaign mode! Read more below: July 26th, 2024 PATCH NOTES ------------------------------------------------------------------ NEW CONTENT —Vendetta, the Undead Assassin, is now available to play. Vendetta often does pokes of single hits or small combos, hiding behind the safety of his speed, Acrobatics, and Frost Web, while biding his time to land a super to close out the game. —Persephone, the Nox Oracle, is now available to play. Her ability to control the opponent can be brutal when she gets fully set up. She gets a big bonus from knocking down opponents and keeping them down. —New career location: Matrix Future Cube. (There are now four different venues to conquer in Career Mode.) In this futuristic mega casino, you'll find yourself in the m…
- Persephone and Vendetta emerge from the shadows! - 26 July 2024
Mistress Persephone, Nox Oracle and Vendetta, Undead Assassin are the next two characters to join the cast of Yomi 2! They’re both enigmatic fighters with questionable motives and shrouded pasts. Learn more about them in today’s blog post below: Mistress Persephone is an enigmatic character who seemingly has her hand in many of the affairs of the realm. She granted DeGrey his seeming immortality and retrieved the Stormborne Family Sword from Onimaru to return it to its rightful owners. She twists, manipulates and respects the inner strength of friend and foe alike. Persephone controls her opponents by restricting their actions and getting a huge bonus for knocking her opponents down. Her innate ability, Dominance, lets her recur cards from the discard pile when she scores a knockdown, and lets her get four cards when her Y Loyal Pets effect (a projectile “summon”) triggers on the same t…

- June 12th, 2024 Patch Notes - 12 June 2024
New Yomi 2 update; we’ve added one new character and language support for multiple languages! Read more about it below: June 12th, 2024 PATCH NOTES ------------------------------------------------------------------ NEW CHARACTER —Bal-Bas-Beta, also known as BBB, is now available to play. He's a robot who uses keep-away tactics and is extremely strong when at long-range, but he does have one super move that he can use when close. MORE LANGUAGES —In addition to English, the game now fully supports Chinese, French, and Russian Bug Fixes —Master volume slider now mutes music/sounds at zero volume. —The backspace and arrow keyboard key icons are no longer displayed too low in the button help. —Fixed bad combat-reveal animation (missing reveal of the opponent's card, missing all on-openers-revealed UI animations) when an on-openers-revealed effect causes the combat to end prematurely. (Surpri…
- Bal-Bas-Beta is firing on all cylinders! - 12 June 2024
We have some exciting news to share today; firstly, Bal-Bas-Beta, the Clockwork Guardian, joins the cast of Yomi 2, and we’re also adding support for French, Chinese and Russian languages (with Japanese, Spanish and German coming later). Full patch notes can be found here. Bal-Bas-Beta, the Clockwork Guardian Bal-Bas-Beta is a clockwork automaton created by Max Geiger. It is rumored that Geiger found a way to communicate with an ancient race who possessed technology beyond our own, and that perhaps some of “BBB”’s design is from another time period entirely. General Onimaru contracted Geiger to mass produce clockwork soldiers to bolster his ranks, but those automatons don’t possess the same degree of sentience and personality that BBB does. BBB hopes to someday reunite with Geiger and learn the true nature of his creation and his purpose. BBB’s archetype is the classic, runaway zoner. H…

- Onimaru and Bigby enter the fray! - 23 February 2024
Let slip the dogs of war; General Onimaru and Judge Bigby Hayes are the next two characters to join the cast of Yomi 2! They’re two of the high ranking officials who enforce the strict laws of the tyrannical Sirus Quince’s Flagstone Dominion. You can find the full patch notes here. Onimaru is an armored juggernaut who wields a giant, two-handed sword. He pummels his opponents with high damage normal attacks that can’t combo into anything else, but they give him the edge so he can keep swinging for the fences. While he has the edge, those same normal attacks also become faster and unblockable! These powerful, dominant moves help him control the tempo of a fight; he needs fewer cards in hand to take down his opponents, and he even has an unblockable level 3 super. His other super, Clockwork Soldiers, summons an army of robotic minions that help restrict his opponent’s options even further…
