Summary
- Supergiant Games teases Hades 2’s full release, saying it is “closer to the finish line.”
- The developer revealed this while celebrating Hades 2’s first early access anniversary.
Developer Supergiant Games has revealed on social media that its popular indie title in early access, Hades 2, is getting “closer to the finish line.” Supergiant celebrated a year since Hades 2's early access release on May 6, thanking all the players for their help during the development process and dropping a small hint about the current state of the game.
Hades 2 serves as a sequel to Supergiant’s roguelike action smash hit Hades, set after the events of the first game. It was launched in early access via Steam and the Epic Games Store, targeting a 2025 release, mainly depending on the progression of development and the feedback provided by players during this stage. In the sequel, players step into the shoes of Melinoe, the Princess of the Underworld, and embark on a quest to defeat Chronos. Hades 2 builds upon the previous game, bringing its engaging and fun roguelike style, where players battle different types of enemies across various scenarios—though this time with new features like the Magick Bar and Arcana Systems, among others. Now, the developer has dropped a small reveal of when players could potentially see a full release of the game.
One Hades 2 Character Would Be a Great Surprise Boss Battle
The perfect surprise boss in Hades 2 isn’t a god of destruction or a monstrous titan; it’s someone far closer to home for Melinoe.
Supergiant Games took to Twitter to celebrate Hades 2's early access anniversary, revealing that the game is getting “closer to the finish line.” The developer described the experience as an “exciting and eye-opening” journey for the studio, thanks to players' insights and contributions. While Supergiant has not provided a specific release window or any further details, players already know the developer was aiming for a 2025 release, and this recent tweet seemingly reinforces that.
Hades 2 Moves 'Closer to the Finish Line'
Players have a lot to look forward to from Hades 2 in 2025 as the game continues its early access journey, which will likely be shorter than Hades’. As Supergiant has explained before, the full version of Hades 2 will include a “more-complete, more-polished set of features” compared to the Early Access version and will reveal the true ending of the game’s story.
Back in February, Hades 2 released the Warsong update, adding a wealth of new content to the popular indie game. Among the most important additions were a new Olympian, a final boss for the Surface route, and much more. While players continue providing feedback to help shape Hades 2’s development, Supergiant could be gearing up for a potential full release announcement.
