Hades 2: Your Ultimate Guide to Mastering the Game

Hades 2 is now available in Steam Early Access, providing an exciting glimpse into the ongoing work by Supergiant Games on this unexpected sequel. Throughout its history, Supergiant has never released a direct follow-up, transitioning from titles like Bastion to Transistor and Pyre before finally arriving at Hades. Given the massive success of the original, it’s not surprising to see the studio returning to this beloved universe.

Hades is widely regarded as one of the top roguelikes of the modern era, and we anticipate that Hades 2 will earn a spot on similar lists when it officially launches. While we’re still awaiting a confirmed release date for the final version and details about console editions, be sure to scroll down for the latest tips, guides, and news on Hades 2.

GamesRadar+ reviewed Hades 2 in May 2024, providing an early impression of the roguelike. They stated, “There’s still some polish needed, but given the significant expansion from Hades 2 compared to the first game, that’s totally understandable. This is a highly ambitious roguelike featuring an enhanced progression system and a richer narrative, retaining the original’s challenge and world charm, making it an impressive success in early access.”

As of now, Supergiant has not yet announced a final release date for Hades 2, although it did launch into Steam Early Access on May 6, 2024. This phase aims to provide players a sneak peek into the final game and assist the developers in testing the combat and difficulty systems. Stay tuned for more updates on the anticipated release of Hades 2 for PS5 and Xbox Series X.

With Hades 2 debuting in Early Access on PC on May 6, there’s currently no information regarding a console release. Supergiant spent two years refining the original game during its Early Access phase before it was launched on the Switch in 2020, followed by versions for Xbox and PlayStation a year later. While waiting three years for Hades 2 may seem unbearable, it’s worth noting that the game is entering Early Access in a significantly more polished state than its predecessor did back in 2018. You can refer to our Hades 2 roadmap for more insight into what’s still in development.
