Anticipated roguelike sequel Hades II was announced back in 2022, and we knew an early access launch was coming sometime in mid-2024, but a specific release date hadn’t been provided by developer Supergiant Games.
Well, surprise! Following some technical tests, Hades II officially launches into early access… today! You can check out a new trailer for the early access version of the game, below. Related Story Hades 2 Receives Around 3 Hours of Gameplay from Technical TestAs Supergiant has mentioned before, the early access version of Hades II is larger than the entirety of the original game, but there are still some things they need to work out. “This Early Access launch is an extraordinarily exciting moment for our team as we begin the process that we expect will help us realize this game's potential.
As with the original, we designed Hades II for Early Access from the ground up, and look forward to hearing your feedback about all that we've built so far, and integrating that feedback into our plans for the rest of production!
This is a game with many interconnected parts, and your feedback helps us ensure everything from the balance to the narrative are working as well as possible.
Should you play in Early Access, or wait for the full game? For many players, it's a good idea to wait for the complete v1.0 before diving in, as Hades II will grow and improve during Early Access, and the true ending of the story won't be available until then.
