Exciting news for fans of the critically acclaimed roguelike game, Hades, as Supergiant Games has announced that sign-ups for the Hades 2 technical test are now open.

There's no set date yet for the early access release. Hades 2 was first announced in December 2022, and fans are eagerly awaiting more information on the sequel’s official launch.
