2020's Hades was game of the year for so many, and it's clear why.
The rogue-like game did something quite different with its combination of Greek myths, procedurally generated and slow-burn story, and character development. It also looked fantastic, and had a talented voice cast to boot.
Recently, it even made its way onto Netflix games, and has managed to reach a new audience of players four years on.
The sequel, which was announced at 2022’s Game Awards ceremony, has had fans eagerly anticipating the return of Hades — and if it's anything like its predecessor, it’ll be superb.
So, what do we know about Hades II? For a start, it's developer Supergiant Games's first ever sequel. It's still early days, but we're going to share everything we know below.
Unsurprisingly, there isn't a solid release date for Hades II just yet. However, apparently development began in 2021, and an early access period will begin later in 2024.
Although, Supergiant Games has just announced that a technical test for the game is now available to sign up for.
It will sample a small number of players and will only offer limited access to the game, but it will help the developer ensure it runs smoothly for when the early access period begins later in the year.
Signing up to the Hades II technical test is easy, and can be done by clicking 'request access' on the game’s official Steam page.
Hopeful testers can find out more information on signing up on Supergiant Games's website.
