Supergiant isn’t one for sequels which was why this is such a surprise. Hades 2 will stay firmly in the Underworld of Greek myth and will follow the same structure as its predecessor. You’ll receive boons from fully voice-acted Gods (new and old Supergiant says, so look out for some familiar faces) and fight your way through monster-filled dungeons. There are no major story details yet, but from the trailer, it looks like the princess of the Underworld has a major chip on her shoulder, probably because of her father’s current imprisonment, and so sets off to put an end to Kronos and presumably free her old man. Supergiant will be following the same development plan as they did with the original Hades, meaning the game will be in early access and that the studio will be looking for player feedback through key development phases. No word on when that’ll be yet, but let’s hope it’s soon. Hades 2 is set to release on Steam and the Epic Games Store. For more of the latest news and trailers, check out our Game Awards 2022 hub. We also live-blogged the show as it happened right here.
