, the sequel to Supergiant Game’s action roguelike, is available now in early access. Fans who want to play early can pick it up for $30 from Steam and the Epic Games Store.
While the current version is still missing a few essential pieces, it still has plenty of content for players to explore. Supergiant held a technical test for Hades 2 last month and promised the beta would come “relatively soon after.” The studio isn’t sure exactly when the 1.0 version will be ready but says the first significant update should arrive in the next few months.
After that, developers expect the game to stay in early access “at least through the end of 2024.” Supergiant says it will need that long to implement all of Hades 2’s planned features.
The studio didn’t give a complete list of what’s missing from the early access version of Hades 2. However, players must wait for the 1.0 version to unlock the game’s true ending.
That said, Supergiant says it already features “more environments, foes, and fully-voiced characters than the full version of the original game.” The studio also points out that players who give feedback on the early access release will influence how the game develops.
