Hades
The early access for Hades II is out there to dive back into the fun of the family Hades is giving the world again
The Early Access for Hades II is finally here and those who want to go on this new journey from Supergiant Games can head out and do that on the PC right now. Right now being May 6th, 2024 with the team placing it out there and asking us all to bring down Chronos in the game. All while diving into the new challenges, weapons, enemies, allies, and areas we can explore beyond what Hades gave us the first time. That would be the game and not the god giving humans things in that instance. It always feels odd writing about this one given the circumstances, but let us just focus back on the game and what we can experience right now in it.
Those who are opting to give Hades II a play before it is fully complete will be able to fight their way out of the Underworld and towards the Heavens with Melinoë. This would be the daughter of the Underworld gods and sister to the protagonist of the last game. She will be setting out to bring down the Titans once more, as it seems like they have escaped the Underworld and the Olympians are not up to the task again and need help from the Underworld once more. Even if they have given Hades and his family a bad rap out there. Nonetheless, Melinoë will be heading out into the roguelike experience to save the gods and all of humanity in the mix too. That is very nice of her. Have a look at the sample of what is here if you are not just downloading the game right now instead.

Meet the Princess of the Underworld in Hades II, the bewitching sequel to Supergiant Games’ award-winning rogue-like dungeon crawler.
Hades II is a direct sequel taking place sometime after the events of the original game. No prior knowledge of the original Hades is needed, though there are plenty of connections!
As Melinoë, the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you'll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the Titan's forces with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment. New locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and surprises await as you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld again and again.
Like her brother Zagreus from the original game, Melinoë is not a character of Supergiant Games’ invention and is based on an ancient Underworld deity thought to be related to Hades. What little ancient mythology exists about her was more than enough to make Supergiant Games want to explore her story and connection to her family, and in so doing, expand on their vision of the Underworld!
Are you going to be fighting your way out of Hades again in this Early Access or will it be worth the wait to get the final game instead? How many of the lesser gods do you think we will have added to the lineup of this game and will there be more than the main that everyone knows? How deep will Hecate's role in the game end up being and will this be a secret villain of the game? Head down into the depths of the comments to leave your thoughts and discuss all of this. If we are able to share more for Hades II, know we will have it up here as soon as we can. This is a title that has special meaning to us and we will cover it to the best that we are allowed.
