Hades 2 Early Access release coming 2024 with "at least as much" stuff as original's EA launch
Supergiant have announced that Hades 2 - sequel to one of gaming's smoothest and sexiest underworld capers - will release into Early Access in Q2 2024 on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The game's combat looks familiar in trailers, but there's a new magic bar reflecting Melinoë's different skillset. You can read more in Ollie's round-up of everything we know about Hades 2.

As for the technical test, this will take place shortly before the early access release, and will be a slimmed down version designed purely to flush out compatibility issues and other bugs.
