Hades 2 Early Access Released – Surprise Update

May 06, 2024 5:29 PM

The anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed roguelike game, Hades, has just launched into Early Access. Hades 2 by Supergiant Games is now available for PC gamers to explore on platforms such as Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Early Access version of the game is priced slightly higher than its predecessor, setting back players €28.99, with hints that the price might increase upon the full release.

In Hades 2's Early Access, players can experience more regions, enemies, and fully voiced characters than the original game at launch. However, the game's content is not yet complete, with more features and expansions planned being based on player feedback over the coming months. Hades 2's full version is set to be in Early Access at least until the end of 2024, with frequent updates and patches to enhance the player experience.

For those who haven't had the chance to play the first game, Hades is currently available on Steam at a discounted rate. This provides an excellent opportunity to dive into the rich story and gameplay before jumping into the Early Access of Hades 2.

How much does Hades 2 cost in Early Access, and where can I purchase it?

Hades 2 is priced at €28.99 and is available for purchase on Steam and the Epic Games Store. This is the price for the Early Access version, and it is subject to change with the game's full release.

Hades, developed by Supergiant Games, is a roguelike action dungeon crawler known for its intense action, deep storytelling, and fresh take on Greek mythology. The original game received critical acclaim for its dynamic gameplay, vivid art style, and engaging narrative, which offered a unique take on the tale of Zagreus, the son of Hades, attempting to escape the Underworld. The success of Hades, which won multiple game of the year awards, has led to significant anticipation for its sequel, Hades 2, which aims to build upon the exceptional foundation set by its predecessor.

It's great to see Supergiant Games continuing to engage with their community and refine their sequel before its full release.
