We couldn't possibly be more excited to announce that we've completed the Early Access development of Hades II, and officially launched v1.0 of the game!! It's now available on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Whether you've been playing all through Early Access or this will be your very first foray into our take on the Underworld of Greek myth, we welcome you and thank you for joining us!
About the v1.0 Launch Update
Those who've been keeping up with our Early Access development can look forward to a slew of exciting additions in our v1.0 Launch Update, notably the true ending of the story, scores of new events for the game's dozens of fully voiced characters, new music we can't wait for you to hear, new Fated List prophecies, new late-game unlockables, and other finishing touches! Full patch notes are here (Steam).
About the Hades II Original Soundtrack
The completion of Hades II also marks the completion of the Hades II Original Soundtrack by our award-winning composer Darren Korb. Much like the game itself, this is our biggest-ever soundtrack, clocking in at just under four hours of music created for this game.
If you've been enjoying the soundtrack already, know that we've saved some of the best for last! The soundtrack is available on Steam and Bandcamp or streaming on our YouTube channel or other services.
About the Game
Hades II is a rogue-like dungeon crawler in which you'll battle beyond the Underworld of Greek myth using dark sorcery to take on the sinister Titan of Time. Our studio's first-ever sequel builds on the best aspects of the award-winning original in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.
As the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you'll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the forces of the Titan of Time 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. For more information, check our Hades II FAQ.
What's Next?
We've given v1.0 of Hades II everything we've got! As with any of our Major Updates, we'll be keeping a close eye on this launch to ensure it's as problem-free as possible, and deploy hotfixes or patches in case of any issues. Beyond that, it's too early to say what's next for our team! We'll likely take some time to reflect and recharge.
Thank You for Playing!!
While Hades II spent more than four-and-a-half years in development, including about a year and a half in Early Access, it's also the culmination of all the experience we've gained together as a team since Supergiant Games started back in 2009. Early Access development was foundational to the entire idea of the original Hades, and proved instrumental to this latest game as well. So, from all of us, thank you for inspiring us to do our best, and we hope you enjoy your time with Hades II. May moonlight guide you!
