Supergiant Games has surprised fans with the sudden release of Hades 2, the highly anticipated sequel to their beloved roguelike Hades. The game is now available in early access on both Steam and the Epic Games Store for $30. The price may increase in the future depending on the amount of content added before the full launch. While Supergiant Games hasn’t announced a specific 1.0 release date, the Steam page indicates that Hades 2 will remain in early access until at least the end of 2024. Hades 2 picks up where its predecessor left off, following Melinoe, the princess of the underworld, as she embarks on a quest to thwart the Titan of Time, Chronos. Despite being in early access, Hades 2 already boasts more environments, enemies, and fully voiced characters than the original game. Supergiant Games is dedicated to enhancing the experience over time, incorporating new areas, characters, gameplay mechanics, and narrative elements. Supergiant Games intends to leverage anonymous gameplay data and feedback from players on Discord and Steam to refine Hades 2 throughout its early access phase. This data-driven approach aims to ensure that the game meets the expectations and desires of the community.
