What is Hades 2? Hades 2 will also be a roguelike dungeon crawler. This time, you will take on the role of “Melinoe,” described by Supergiant Games as the “immortal princess of the underworld.”
You will explore a mysterious world full of myths and fight against various beings. Melinoe possesses the power of Olympus and can imbue her legendary weapons with ancient magic. Additionally, you can enhance your skills with the gifts of Greek deities.
Like its predecessor, Hades 2 is expected to have a high replay value and will offer new locations and challenges during various playthroughs. Furthermore, Supergiant aims to deliver a “atmospheric” and “moving” story combined with action-packed gameplay.
When will Early Access start? As Supergiant Games announced on its official website, Hades 2 is set to enter Early Access on Steam and in the Epic Games Store in the second quarter of 2024 (via supergiantgames.com).
However, the developers cannot yet specify when exactly the full release of Hades 2 will be.
What made Hades so good? Pretty much everything. Players on Steam praise the story and dialogue, as well as the versatile gameplay with a high replay value.
Whether it’s the music, the English voice acting, or the combat system with its impressive selection of weapons and godly gifts, everything is well-received by players. The design of the game world, the atmosphere, and the focus on Greek mythology are also appreciated.
