Every Hades 2 character we know so far
polygon.comHades 2 is still in the early stages of testing, but the game looks good. Like, really good.
On Wednesday, developer Supergiant Games released part of the game as a technical test that gave fans their first look at the sequel to Hades, 2020’s popular action roguelike, since it was announced in 2022. The limited release only covers the first section of the game, but it already gave players an in-depth idea of what to expect — spoilers, it looks very sexy.
Sure, new hero Melinoë’s black magic-inspired gameplay looks great and all, but there’s a lot more to see. Every new and recurring character just looks so dang good. The developers showed off returning characters from Hades, like Aphrodite and Hypnos, who got full-on redesigns, and then revealed new characters, like the blacksmith Hephaestus, who have inspired their fair share of thirst.
If there was any takeaway from that technical test, it’s that the cast will be a huge draw for both new and old fans. Given this, we at Polygon have rounded up every character we’ve seen in the game so far. At this point, we’re basing this list off of who we’ve seen during the technical test, but we’ll update this post as we hear about more characters in the game.
[Ed. note: This list contains spoilers for content shown in theHades 2 technical test, including new characters, character redesigns, and dialogue. Since the game is still in development, some of these details could change before release.]

Apollo, the god of light, makes an absolutely shiny return. His entire look makes him seem a bit more regal and godlike than in Hades.
Arachne might be an itsy-bitsy spider, but her specialized armor will give Melinoë the support she needs when fighting through baddies.
