More About the Game

If you're unfamiliar with Hades II, it's 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.

Hades II for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 run at an ultrafast 120 frames per second, and these latest versions also include some bonus content and quality-of-life improvements we've been working on in the meantime! If you already have the game, expect these in a patch releasing that the same day, and we'll have full patch notes then.

Hades II for Xbox and PlayStation has been our focus since last year's v1.0 launch, during which time the game earned numerous industry accolades, including Best Action Game at The Game Awards and the D.I.C.E. Awards, Best Game on Steam Deck in the Steam Awards, Best Foreign Game at the Pégases Awards, and more! We're very grateful for the reception, and are looking forward to hearing both from new and returning players soon.

To everyone who's anticipated Hades II coming to more platforms, thank you for your patience, and we hope you'll find our latest game to be well worth the wait!

Yuletide Greetings

From all of us at Supergiant, we wish you a happy, relaxing holiday season!

We invite you to bask in the warmth and magick of Hecate's cauldron, just in time for any Yuletide festivities, in our 12-hour Witch of the Crossroads Yule Log video! May your nights be enchanting.

Hades II Sale & Accolades!

The Steam Winter Sale is on now, so you can get Hades II for 25% off there, as well as the Nintendo eShop and Epic Games Store!

Hades II is the biggest game we've ever made, and the best-reviewed game of the year, as well as recipient of accolades such as Best Action Game at The Game Awards. It's also in the running for Best Game on Steam Deck in the Steam Awards, if you'd do us the honor of casting your vote! These Awards are a powerful way to show your support for your favorite games, and also gave us an excuse to bring you this likeness of Headmistress Hecate by our illustrator Jeremy Anninos!

See You Next Year!

Our team started back in 2009, and the seven original members who created our first game, Bastion, have stuck together and worked on each of our games since, now alongside close to 20 additional team members who were instrumental in the making of Hades II (a decent portion of whom attended The Game Awards recently, as you can see below!).

As an independent studio, our games are made possible by players of our previous titles — so, the simple reason we're still here after all this time is you. We'll always be grateful for your support. While it's too early to say what's next for our team, we look forward to pressing on together, and sharing our progress with you when possible. Until then, may moonlight guide you and all of us!

Likewise, what an honor it was to be in contention for Best Independent Game, Best Score and Music, Best Artistic Direction, Best Game Direction, and even Game of the Year... especially since we were in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games.

Hades II: Physical Edition in Stores Now!

A retail version of Hades II on a standard physical game card is now available in stores worldwide for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch!

The package also includes a full-color 32-page Character Compendium booklet, a reversible cover slip, and a download code for the Hades II Original Soundtrack, featuring nearly four hours of pulse-pounding music created for the game.

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.

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!

To everyone who played Hades, thank you for all the inspiration and support! We're so grateful that Hades connected with so many players around the world. If you get a chance to play our next game, we hope you find it lives up! In the name of Hades!

If you already have Hades II in Early Access on Steam or the Epic Games Store, v1.0 will be a free automatic update. New players will be able to purchase the game digitally at the current price, for these platforms along with Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, where Hades II is now available for pre-order.

120fps Performance on Nintendo Switch 2

Hades II takes advantage of the new Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, offering up blazing fast 120 frames-per-second performance at 1080p while playing in TV Mode. In Handheld Mode, the game runs at 60 frames-per-second at 1080p, while the Nintendo Switch version runs at 60 frames-per-second at 720p in both modes. Players who purchase the Nintendo Switch version may download a free upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 version if they have both consoles.

Cross-Saves w/ Nintendo Switch and PC

Among the additions coming in v1.0, Hades II offers cross-saves between the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions, and the Steam and the Epic Games Store versions. If you've been playing in Early Access and wish to continue the journey on Nintendo's game consoles, you'll be able to transfer your save data through a simple in-game menu.

Nintendo Switch 2 Retail Edition on Nov. 20

We're excited to offer a retail version of Hades II for Nintendo Switch 2 later this year! This version, which is also compatible with the original Nintendo Switch, comes on a standard physical game card and also includes a full-color Character Compendium booklet with artwork from the game, a download code for the Hades II Original Soundtrack (featuring nearly four hours of music!), and a reversible cover. The retail edition will cost $49.99 in North America.

Time Cannot Be Stopped

Hades II is our team's first-ever sequel, and we've been giving it everything we've got for more than four and a half years. Since May of 2024, we've been developing in Early Access, taking feedback from our player community to try and fully realize this game's potential. The result is the biggest game we've ever made, and one we hope you'll find to be a worthy successor to its namesake.

To all our Early Access players, thank you so much for all the inspiration and support! And to all our prospective players, thank you for your patience. We can't wait to share the full game with you later this month!

About the Update

With The Unseen Update, expect Hades II to be bigger and better than before:

• Discover the Hidden Aspects of the Nocturnal Arms! Each main weapon has an all-new fighting style to unlock.

• Speak the Vow of Rivals at the Oath of the Unseen to take on stronger-than-ever Guardians, each with unique surprises!

• Unleash Godsent Hexes on your foes, dazzling Moon magick upgraded with the power of the Olympians.

• Forge Bonds with a variety of characters in many new optional story events that bring you closer than before.

• Harness the revamped Umbral Flames, now offering a snappier fighting style for keeping your foes at bay.

This update also features lots of new artwork and visual flourishes, exciting new music tracks such as the one in our new trailer, new Warden encounters, many new story events, and more. We're excited to hear what you think of it all!

How to Get the Update

The Unseen Update is a free, automatic download as part of the Early Access version of Hades II on Steam and the Epic Games Store. As always, the complete Patch Notes are available on Steam, in the game client, in the form of a dramatic reading (see below), and in our official Discord, where you can join a welcoming community of Hades II players and Supergiant fans.

Development Progress

After more than a year of Early Access development, we're now starting to prepare for our v1.0 launch! We're heading into the final phase of Hades II development, which involves adding the story's true ending and other finishing touches. Please note we do not yet have a v1.0 launch date, though we'll share more as soon as we can. We really appreciate your patience on this!

In terms of what we're working on, after any follow-up patches to The Unseen Update that smooth out any issues, we'll focus on these major initiatives: · The True Ending: The conclusion of Princess Melinoë's story is the main addition we're planning for our v1.0 launch. We have no plans for additional regions, encounters, abilities, and so on. · Achievements: With the game structure fully intact, we'll be adding Achievements in the lead-up to launch. Note you will not need to start from the beginning to earn any Achievements. · Finishing Touches: We're continuing to polish and refine all the content we've introduced in Hades II, from Boons and powers to artwork and story events.

Sometimes the last stretch of development on a game can make all the difference, so we have always taken this phase seriously and appreciate your continued support.

Onward to v1.0!

As we wind down our Early Access phase, our goal remains ensuring we've created our biggest, most replayable, most feature-rich game yet, and — most importantly — a worthy successor to the original Hades. We have a big game to wrap up! While we can't yet say when our v1.0 launch will be, we're very excited to be getting close, and to share the complete experience with you. This also means some of the most important work on Hades II is still to come, so may moonlight guide us! And to all our Early Access players, thank you for being here, and sharing your impressions of The Unseen Update with us.

Hades II is also coming to the original Nintendo Switch! We have both versions running smoothly at a target 60 frames per second, with the Switch 2 version taking advantage of the bigger, higher-definition 1080p display.

The original Hades v1.0 likewise initially launched on the Nintendo Switch, so we're very excited to bring our latest game to the console where Hades got its start, as well as its new-and-improved successor!

When will Hades II v1.0 be available?

We don't yet have a releate date for the full version of Hades II. The game is currently available in Early Access on computer platforms, and we have at least one more Major Update still to come, so our v1.0 launch will be some time after that. Stay tuned for more details later this year!

For more about Hades II

For all the latest details we can share about our first-ever sequel, check our Hades II Frequently Asked Questions!

About the Update

With The Warsong Update, Hades II now packs these latest additions and improvements:

• Are you prepared for the Final Confrontation on the surface? Discover what lies beyond the Guardian of Olympus... if you dare!

• Meet Ares, the infamous god of war! Gain his varied and vicious Boons to see if you can satisfy his thirst for blood.

• Meditate at the updated Altar of Ashes, featuring all-new art and several reworked Arcana effects! Many other menu screens are also improved.

How to Get the Update

The Warsong Update is a free, automatic download as part of the Early Access version of Hades II on Steam and the Epic Games Store. As always, the complete Patch Notes are available on Steam, in the game client, in the form of a dramatic reading (see below), and in our official Discord, where you can join a welcoming community of Hades II players and Supergiant fans.

Development Progress

We're excited to have launched this Major Update, since it includes numerous ideas we've been eager to implement since we started working on Hades II years ago! But we're not finished yet, and have already made plans for our third Major Update, which we intend to deliver some months from now. Note it's still too early to share our plans beyond that, including when our v1.0 launch will be.

After any follow-up patches to The Warsong Update that address issues or feedback in the short term, we'll focus on these major initiatives: · Hidden Aspects: The Nocturnal Arms still have some secrets left to be discovered, and new ways for you to play. We plan for you to be able to wield some of these next time. · Enhanced Guardians: The boss battles at the end of each Region are an integral part of the experience, and we want them to be able to challenge and surprise you even more. · Expanded Story: As we prepare for our eventual v1.0 launch, we're planning ahead for the rest of the story, while building on various character relationships and subplots.

We appreciate your continued patience and support as we forge ahead!

Beyond the Final Confrontation!

Early Access continues to be an essential part of Hades II development, and we hope you can feel this reflected in our Major Updates and other patches so far. With the core structure of both the Underworld and Surface routes now fully intact, we're excited to turn our attention to filling out more of the game's content, finishing more and more of what we started... until we're done! In the meantime, thank you very much for playing Hades II! You're helping us get closer to achieving our goal of making our first-ever sequel our biggest, most replayable game yet, and a worthy successor to the original Hades with its own surprises and special touches. For now, we'll be looking forward to your impressions of The Warsong Update, and hearing of your adventures above the surface and below!

About 'Developing Hell'

The original Hades was our first-ever Early Access game, meaning we developed it while taking feedback from our player community. As part of that, we invited the team at Noclip to film our progress and reveal how development was going. The result was a one-of-a-kind video documentary series that takes you inside our studio for every step of our game’s journey: from before its surprise announcement in 2018, to its full launch almost two years later, and beyond as the game grew into a worldwide phenomenon. If you want to know how Hades came to be, or what a day in the life of our team at Supergiant is like, this is the best way to find out!

About Noclip

Noclip is a small team making crowdfunded video game documentaries for everyone to enjoy, and whose mission is to tell authentic stories about video games, the people who make them, and those who play them. Their work is funded by a community of Patrons and free of sponsored content. As crowdfunding is what made Developing Hell possible to begin with, proceeds from this new Blu-ray release go to Noclip so that they can keep shining a light on how games are made.

The year gone by has been very exciting for our team. In May, we launched our first-ever sequel in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, an event that proved even bigger than the v1.0 launch of the original game! Since then, we've patched Hades II half a dozen times, including the first of our Major Updates, which brought the game a big step closer to completion. More recently, Hades II earned two nominations in the Steam Awards, in the categories of Best Game on Steam Deck and Outstanding Visual Style! It would really mean a lot to us to have your vote(s).

Our Fifteenth Anniversary!

Back in September, our studio turned 15 years old! From Bastion, to Transistor, to Pyre, to the original Hades, and now to Hades II, all our games have found an audience on a variety of PC and console platforms, and not a day goes by that we're not grateful for it. We even hear from some of you who've been with us from the very start.

In some respects, not too much has changed in all that time... our team remains independent, and all seven of the people who created our first game are still working together in their respective roles, though our team now has close to 25 members in total. We remain staunchly committed to making games that spark your imagination like the games you played as a kid. If you've been playing for a while, then you know good interesting games never go out of style; we want to keep trying to make them for as long as we can.

Our Next Major Update

We're now closing in on the launch of our second Major Update for Hades II, slated for early 2025. At that point you'll get to experience the final confrontation of the game's alternate route! Beyond that, we're planning for at least one more Major Update in Early Access sometime this coming year, which will expand on various parts of the game including the story. But the story's true ending will only arrive with the v1.0 launch, which we still don't have a date for yet... it'll depend on how our Major Updates go!

With all this on our minds, we're filled with gratitude and excitement as we head into the new year, and we hope you'll join us in the next one. Until then, may moonlight guide you out there!

About the Update

Hades II takes a big step forward with the following new features:

· Battle across the surface through an all-new Region where the gods themselves need your aid! Can you vanquish the deadly new Guardian? · Unlock the last of the Nocturnal Arms: Xinth, the Black Coat, a devastating new weapon with its own unique Aspects! · Spruce up the Crossroads with dozens of unlockable decorations and music tracks, adding a personal touch to your home between the realms! · Meet two new Allies! Gain their blessings, learn their secrets, and use their unique Keepsakes! · Bond with two new Animal Familiars, loyal companions who will serve you through thick and thin! · Feeling tough? Take on new Challenges, including new Vows for the Oath of the Unseen, and the mysterious new Moon Monument and Unseen Sigil! · Discover more of the story, with close to 2,500 new voice lines for the game's big, colorful cast!

This update also adds native support for Mac systems with Apple M1 or later, numerous quality-of-life improvements, plenty of new art and audio, and other little surprises we're excited for you to find!

How to Get the Update

The Olympic Update is a free, automatic download as part of the Early Access version of Hades II on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The complete Patch Notes are available on Steam, in the game client, in the form of a dramatic reading (see below), and in our official Discord, where you can join a welcoming community of Hades II players and Supergiant fans.

Development Progress

Our first Major Update introduces a third Region and Guardian to the Surface Route, bringing it closer to the Underworld route's level of completion. We've also added the game's sixth and final main weapon, and iterated on a number of key systems. But there's plenty more to come, and we can safely say that our next Major Update in Early Access will not be our last!

Once we're sure The Olympic Update has stabilized and we've addressed major feedback as much as possible, we'll then focus on these major initiatives: · Climactic Confrontation: What awaits further beyond the newly-added Region? Once we add that, we will consider the main structure of the Surface Route to be complete. · New Boons: Boons are integral to the experience of Hades II, so we have some more additions planned on this front. The Olympians deserve no less! · New Foes: We plan to add even more combat encounter variety. Having lots of exciting and varied encounters helps keep Hades II feeling fresh.

We are planning our next Major Update to launch sometime in early 2025, in a little less development time overall than The Olympic Update. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we press on!

Onward and Upward!

Early Access has already been an invaluable and eye-opening experience for our team as we continue working to complete this game. As we move forward, we intend to keep making additions, changes, and improvements in an effort to create the biggest, most replayable, most feature-rich game we've made yet, and — most importantly — a worthy successor to the original Hades. We're very grateful that you've taken the time to play Hades II thus far, and hope you find it's getting closer to fulfilling its potential with the launch of The Olympic Update. Your feedback is always welcome, and thank you for playing.

We hope you enjoy discovering all that Hades II in Early Access has to offer! It already includes more environments, foes, and fully-voiced characters than the full version of the original game, and we have more in the works. An in-game development roadmap provides additional details about our update plans.

For owners of Steam Deck, Valve's portable gaming computer, we're pleased to report Hades II is Deck Verified!

About Hades II

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. It builds on the best aspects of the award-winning original in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in 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 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. For more information, check our Hades II FAQ.

About Early Access

This Early Access launch is an extraordinarily exciting moment for our team as we begin the process that we expect will help us realize this game's potential. As with the original, we designed Hades II for Early Access from the ground up, and look forward to hearing your feedback about all that we've built so far, and integrating that feedback into our plans for the rest of production! This is a game with many interconnected parts, and your feedback helps us ensure everything from the balance to the narrative are working as well as possible.

Should you play in Early Access, or wait for the full game? For many players, it's a good idea to wait for the complete v1.0 before diving in, as Hades II will grow and improve during Early Access, and the true ending of the story won't be available until then. But, if you like the idea of seeing the game evolve over time, and watching the story unfold more gradually, then Early Access is probably for you!

You may also want to hold out for the v1.0 launch depending on which platform you'd like to play on, as Early Access is only on Steam and the Epic Games Store. We expect Hades II to eventually be available for PC, Mac, and console platforms (though cannot confirm which platforms yet).

The Hades II Original Soundtrack

Music has always been essential to the experience of each title from Supergiant Games, and Hades II is no exception, with an original soundtrack by our award-winning composer Darren Korb crafted to fit the bewitching theme and variety of all-new characters and environments.

Now available alongside the game (and for free streaming on our YouTube channel!), the soundtrack is already nearly as expansive as the original, with close to two-and-a-half hours of new music... and still more tracks to be added as development continues. Note: We recommend first experiencing our soundtracks in-game prior to listening on their own!

What's Next

We're planning our first Major Update for later this year! Please note while we'll be monitoring feedback and reports carefully, this Major Update will take some months following our initial launch. Beyond that, we expect to be in Early Access at least through the end of 2024 in order to build out the remaining content we have planned.

As we take stock of the state of the game and what you think of it, we'll gain a clearer sense of just how close we are to the finish line. For now, it's too early to say when our v1.0 launch will be. Yet even though Hades II won't be complete for some time, we hope you really enjoy it as soon as you start playing.

Lastly: Thank you. This year our studio turns 15 years old, and for all this time we've remained small and independent, working on one major new project after another. None of this would have been possible without the support of our players over the years. So, whether Hades II is your first Supergiant game, or you've been with us since the Bastion days, we're grateful you could join us.

We're getting close to launching Hades II in Early Access! As noted in our latest Development Update, a key step prior to that is our Hades II Technical Test, which we plan to begin shortly.

About the Hades II Technical Test

We're conducting the Hades II Technical Test prior to our Early Access launch to help us find and solve any technical issues we might have missed thus far, to ensure anyone who tries Hades II in Early Access can have a smooth play experience from the start. The Technical Test contains much less content than what's in store for the Early Access launch, and may be available only to a relatively small subset of players who express interest in participating.

How to Sign Up

We are using Steam Playtest to run the Hades II Technical Test. If you'd like to be considered for participation, you can sign up right now simply by heading to the Hades II Steam page, and clicking the button marked 'Request Access'.

If you're a content creator, you may also request a key using Keymailer, though please note that due to the nature of the Technical Test, we may not be able to honor all such requests.

Who Gets to Participate

A subset of players who request access will be invited to participate via an email from Steam with download instructions. We expect to start with a small player population, then grow it over time. So, even if you aren't invited to the Technical Test right away, you may still be invited later. Our process boils down to: invite some players, fix any problems they run into, invite more players, and so on. Once we're sufficiently confident that things are stable, we'll wind down the Technical Test, then launch in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store relatively soon after. As the purpose of the Technical Test is to test the game with a relatively small audience, we may not be able to honor individual requests to participate. We will do our best to conduct the Technical Test as expeditiously as possible, then launch in Early Access, at which point the game will be available for anyone to purchase and play.

Technical Test Duration

The nature of the Test is such that we don't know exactly how long it will last, though our estimate is longer than a week, shorter than a month. We likewise don't know exactly when we will launch Hades II in Early Access, since that will depend on how long we end up having to run the Technical Test for.

Technical Test System Requirements

Here are the minimum system requirements for the Technical Test: OS: Windows 10 64-bit (or Steam Deck) Processor: Dual Core 2.4 Ghz Memory: 8GB RAM Graphics: GeForce GTX 950, Radeon R7 360, or Intel HD Graphics 630

Technical Test Contents

The Technical Test contains the first major area of the game, and other early-game characters, systems, and content. (If you played the original game, imagine a version where you couldn't get past Tartarus even if you vanquished its guardian.) If you end up clearing the first major area a number of times, the game will gently suggest that you discontinue play, as Early Access shouldn't be far behind!

Note that due to structural differences with the Early Access version of the game, save data from the Technical Test will not transfer.

How Technical Test Participants Can Help

Just play! If you encounter crashes or other technical issues, the game will provide instruction on how to report those to us.

Closing Remarks

Thank you for your interest in Hades II and this Technical Test! It's important to us to start our forthcoming Early Access with as few technical issues as possible, so that the focus can be on getting your feedback on the game itself. We're very excited to share that game with you soon, and appreciate your patience and support as we prepare!

What's next for Supergiant Games?

Together with our development partners at Secret 6, we've been working on Hades for iOS for more than a year, on top of the several years it took us to create the original versions. Our other major project is Hades II, which we are readying for an Early Access launch in Q2. This year marks our small independent studio's 15th anniversary, and we're very excited to keep moving forward, making games together!

For more information about Hades and Supergiant Games, have a look at our Hades FAQ!

Early Access Starts Next Year

We now can confirm we're planning for Hades II to launch in Early Access in Q2 2024 on Steam and the Epic Games Store. We'll have more details on the exact date, pricing, and system requirements closer to that time.

Thank you for your patience as we gear up for this launch! You may be wondering, why can't we launch in Early Access, like, right now?! The game looked pretty far along in the first trailer! The reason is, Hades II will have at least as much content from day one in Early Access as the original game did back when it launched in Early Access on Steam. And, even though Early Access inherently means a game is not yet complete, we still want to do everything we can to make sure Hades II is worth your while as soon as you can play it in any capacity.

You can add Hades II to your wishlist on Steam or the Epic Games Store and join our email mailing list to find out as soon as our Early Access is available.

Prior to That: The Hades II Technical Test

Also in Q2 2024, shortly before we launch in Early Access, we're going to run a technical test with a limited sample of players. The purpose of this test will be to find and solve any technical or compatibility issues we might have missed, to ensure anyone who tries Hades II in Early Access can have a smooth play experience. To that end, this technical test will contain much less content than what's in store for the Early Access launch, and likely be limited only to a relatively small subset of players who express interest in participating. We'll announce more details about the Hades II Technical Test closer to when it's ready.

More About Early Access & Beyond

Early Access was vitally important to the entire idea behind the original Hades -- we decided it would be an Early Access game before deciding literally anything else about it, such as the Underworld setting. We've approached development of Hades II knowing Early Access will be no less important this time, though now knowing a bit more of what to expect from Early Access development, as well as more about what a Hades game needs to be. We believe the timeframe we're planning for will be the "sweet spot" where the game is far enough along that player feedback won't mostly consist of stuff we already know isn't there yet, but isn't so far along that it's too late in development for us to act on the feedback we receive.

Similar to how we approached Early Access with the original, following our Hades II Early Access launch, we'll have several Major Updates adding the rest of the game's core content and refining what's there based on player feedback. The story will expand with each update, as we introduce more characters, and deepen relationships with existing ones. This process will culminate in our v1.0 launch, which will feature the conclusion to the story and any other finishing touches.

We don't yet know exactly how long it will take us to get to v1.0 of Hades II, as our experience developing in Early Access has taught us (among many things) to expect the unexpected. For now, our focus is to keep building core content -- environments, characters, weapons, Boons, story events, music, and more -- as we gear up for our Technical Test and Early Access launch in Q2 this coming year. Thank you again for your patience and support as we work to ensure our first sequel meets our standards, and hopefully yours, too!

Note: For all the latest details we can share about Hades II, please check our Hades II FAQ.

When can I play Hades on iOS?

Hades on iOS will be available sometime in 2024. We'll have more details closer to launch.

What's Netflix Games?

We all know Netflix as a premier streaming video service. On top of that, your standard subscription also includes a variety of excellent games you can download and play right now on compatible devices, at no additional charge! We were drawn to the opportunity to introduce Netflix's audience to our game, and look forward to hearing from our players there.

How can I play Hades on iOS once it's available?

All you need is a compatible iOS device and a standard subscription to Netflix! While signed in to the Netflix app on your device, simply navigate to the games row and look for Hades there! Then you can download the game and play all you like.

Hades should run great on an iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or later. We will have the full requirements closer to launch.

Will I be able to purchase Hades for iOS separately?

Hades for iOS will be available exclusively through Netflix Games for the foreseeable future.

What control settings are in Hades on iOS?

Hades on iOS features fully customizable touch controls designed for this version of the game. You can also wirelessly connect a Bluetooth controller to your device for more of a console-style experience!

Who is the developer of Hades on iOS?

We have been closely collaborating with the talented team at Secret 6 on this version of the game!

Does Hades on iOS support Cloud Saves and Achievements?

Yes and yes. Please note, however, that due to a variety of technical constraints, automatic save transfers (i.e., cross-saves) with any existing version of Hades are not supported.

Is Hades also coming to Android devices?

We appreciate the interest though we have no plans for additional versions of Hades at this time.

Availability & Early Access

We will announce when Hades II will be available and for which platforms closer to when it's complete. The game is in full production right now, though we have a lot left to build!

Like its predecessor, Hades II will be available in Early Access for some time leading up to its full v1.0 launch. Expect more information on Hades II Early Access sometime in 2023.

Add Hades II to your wishlist on Steam or the Epic Games Store to be among the first to know about our Early Access when the time comes.

About the Game

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 our own 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 us want to explore her story and connection to her family, and in so doing, expand on our vision of the Underworld!

Read our Hades II FAQ for answers to many of your questions about the game. Please note, much like with our past titles, we plan to leave many details for you to discover!

We also invite you to join our mailing list, which we'll use to occasionally email you with information about how Hades II is coming along and other news from our studio.

About Supergiant Games

We are a small independent game studio based in San Francisco, CA. Since 2009, we have strived to make games that spark your imagination like the games you played as a kid. We now have more than 20 people on our team (a few more than on the original Hades), including all seven of the original members of the team that created our first game, Bastion, who have worked together in their respective roles on all our games ever since.

We work on one main new game project at a time, and Hades II is that project for the foreseeable future. The original Hades earned more than 70 Game of the Year awards following its v1.0 launch in 2020, and is our most successful game in every measurable way. Now, we are doing our best to make a sequel that lives up to its predecessor, and stands strong on its own merits. Your generous support is the reason we've been able to stick together as a team all this time, so thank you very much for believing in us and for your patience as we develop this game!

What is Hades II?

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. Read our announcement and watch our launch trailer:

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.

Is it any good?

Hades II was the highest-rated game of 2025 according to Metacritic and OpenCritic.

The game earned numerous industry accolades, including Best Action Game at The Game Awards and the D.I.C.E. Awards, Best Game on Steam Deck in the Steam Awards, Best Foreign Game at the Pégases Awards, and more.

Where can I play Hades II?

Hades II is now available on: · Steam · Epic Games Store · Nintendo Switch 2 · Nintendo Switch · Xbox Series X|S · PlayStation 5

Hades II is Verified on Steam Deck, Valve's portable gaming computer.

When did Hades II launch?

Hades II v1.0 launched on Steam, the Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch on September 25, 2025.

A retail version of Hades II on a standard physical game card for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch launched on November 20, 2025.

If you've been playing on PC or Mac and wish to continue the journey on Nintendo's game consoles (or vice versa), you'll be able to transfer your save data through a simple in-game menu.

Please note that due to technical limitations, cross saves with other versions of the game are not available.

Where can I get tech support for Hades II?

We have a comprehensive Hades II Technical Support FAQ that's the best place to start if you're experiencing any issues with the game!

How does Hades II relate to the original game?

Hades II is a direct sequel, set in and around the Underworld of Greek myth after the events of the original game. Chronos, the Titan of Time and the wicked father of Hades and his brothers, has escaped his imprisonment in the depths of the Underworld to wage war on Olympus. Can Time itself be stopped?

You don't need to know anything about the original game or Greek myth to enjoy Hades II. But if you do know the ins and outs of the original or the classical mythology that inspired it, you'll find plenty of connections, as well as plenty of new challenges you'll have to learn to overcome. We want for players to experience a strong sense of discovery in Hades II, whether they played the original game or not.

Who is the protagonist of Hades II?

In Hades II, you play as Melinoë, the Princess of the Underworld, an immortal witch and sorceress with powerful magical abilities, deadly skill with a variety of shadowy weapons, and a score to settle.

Like her brother Zagreus from the original game, Melinoë is not a character of our own 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 us want to explore her story and connection to her family, and in so doing, expand on our vision of the Underworld.

What's the connection between witchcraft and Greek myth?

Witchcraft is integral to numerous Greek myths, including some of the most famous, as well as many that inspired the original Hades and of course this sequel. Central to this ancient and oft-feared and misunderstood practice is Hecate, the secretive goddess of magic, witchcraft, and the crossroads. She plays a significant role in classical mythology surrounding Hades and the Underworld, and has been an influential and deeply compelling figure in witchcraft, myth, and folklore in a variety of cultures for thousands of years... so much so that we felt we needed a whole new game to try and do her justice.

As with the original game, our aim is to be faithful to the spirit of the classical sources that inspired us, from Homer to Hesiod. This extends to our portrayal of witchcraft in this game, given its strong ties to many of the myths and characters at the heart of both Hades and Hades II. Mythological tales of ancient gods and heroes live on by being told and retold, adapted, and filtered through new points of view across time; we're excited to share ours once again.

Is the game's soundtrack available?

Absolutely! Music has always been essential to the experience of each of our games, and Hades II is no exception, with an epic-sized original soundtrack by our award-winning composer Darren Korb crafted to fit the bewitching theme and variety of all-new characters and environments.

Look for the original soundtrack on Steam, Bandcamp, and more, or stream it on our YouTube channel, Spotify, and more!

Who developed Hades II?

We did! We're Supergiant Games, a small independent game studio based in San Francisco, CA. Since 2009, we have strived to make games that spark your imagination like the games you played as a kid. For the development of Hades II, we grew to about 25 people on our team, including all seven of the original members of the team that created our first game, Bastion, and worked together on all our games ever since. We also worked with dozens of additional contributors, including translators, the voice cast, visual artists, and musicians.

You've never made a sequel before! Why now?

We loved building the original Hades together as a team, and the game succeeded well beyond our expectations. Especially since it drew so much inspiration from classical Greek mythology, we always imagined the possibility of new stories in its world. But that in and of itself wasn't enough for us.

With each of our projects over the years, we've aimed to take on a new challenge that stretched our team's creativity and taught us more about how to make games well together. One such challenge we've long considered was to try and make a sequel that could somehow re-capture the sense of wonder and delight of its predecessor. Some of our all-time favorite games achieved this! Could we? Hades II, with its new perspective on a shadowy and alluring aspect of Greek myth, was our opportunity to find out. We got to keep building on foundational ideas that have captivated us since Supergiant's early days, while expanding the world of Hades in ways we found very exciting, and hope you will, too.

What languages does the game support?

Hades II contains English text and voiceover, and includes full text translations in the following languages: German, Greek, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

How long was Hades II in development?

We started working on Hades II in earnest at the start of 2021, so approximately four and a half years.

What tech are did you use to develop the game?

We've been using our own tech and tools ever since Bastion, our first game. With each project, we've made significant investments and improvements to ensure our tools are as efficient as possible for our team, and that our game runs as smoothly as possible for as many players as possible.

Is Hades II a multiplayer game, or are there any plans for multiplayer?

Like its predecessor, Hades II is a single-player game. We have no plans for multiplayer, as we created the gameplay and narrative of Hades II with a solo experience in mind.

Will you work with Noclip on a video documentary about Hades II?

We loved working with Noclip on their Developing Hell video documentary series about the making of the original Hades, filmed throughout the course of its development. We've kept in touch with Noclip about our plans, though presently aren't doing something like last time. We appreciate your interest!

What if I have more questions?

If you'd like to discuss Hades II, one good place is our official Discord server, where you can chat with other players and get the latest news from our team. Thank you for your interest!

We're thrilled to announce that we've joined forces with Fangamer to bring you a new line of official Hades merchandise, ranging from plushies to pins, and from artwork to apparel!

Like all the merchandise we've offered in the past, these items were designed in close collaboration with our team. And, Fangamer has years of experience delivering great game-inspired merchandise to customers around the world, so these items will be easier to get a hold of than items we've offered in the past. This partnership means we'll no longer be fulfilling merchandise directly, and we have Q&As about what that means later in this post. But first, let's look at just some of the new items available right now!

Cerberus Plush

This notorious hound of hell is somewhat smaller than the real thing, measuring about 12" long from heads to tail.

Underworld Triptych Print Set

Supergiant Store Q&A

While we have lots of exciting new merchandise now available, we are discontinuing service from our home-grown online merchandise shop at store.supergiantgames.com. Here are answers to questions you may have:

Q: Why have you closed your online shop at store.supergiantgames.com? A: We've always wanted to create great merchandise for our games, and since 2011, we've shipped that merchandise directly from our San Francisco HQ to customers around the world. However, the success of Hades plus many logistical challenges introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic meant we have struggled to meet the demand from our customers. As a small independent game studio, it's never been our ambition to grow to become a major online retailer -- but we still really want to offer official merchandise, ideally even more than before! We love designing physical items based on our games, and it's always been a refreshing creative challenge. Knowing there are teams that are better equipped to produce and distribute merchandise, we wanted to find great partners to work with who can help us play to our strengths. So, moving forward, our official merchandise will be available directly through reputable, trusted partners including Fangamer, Good Smile Company, and iam8bit. Note we plan to continue to use the store.supergiantgames.com domain to point to merchandise offerings from our partners.

Q: When and where will Hades merchandise be available? A: On July 26, 2022, Fangamer launched our official Hades merchandise collection, featuring a variety of all-new items as well as items we've offered in the past. Other official merchandise is in development from Good Smile Company, including Nendoroid Zagreus, Thanatos, and Megaera. We've been fans of these teams for years, and very excited to be working with them.

Q: When will merchandise from your past titles be available again? A: We've worked with Fangamer to bring over select items of our past merchandise based on Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre, which are available now in the Supergiant Games Collection!

Q: How can I find out about any new Supergiant merchandise?

You may also visit store.supergiantgames.com, where we plan to point to merchandise offerings from our partners offering official merchandise.

Q: Does Fangamer ship to customers around the world? A: Yes indeed! Not only does Fangamer ship worldwide from North America, some of the merchandise will also be available to order from their European and Japanese locations.

Q: Will you be reissuing vinyl records for Hades or other soundtracks? A: We are working on this! We will announce any reissues via our Twitter and our newsletter -- please sign up for our newsletter if you'd like to be notified about new merchandise.

To all our online store customers, thank you for all your patience and support over the years, and it's been our pleasure. We're really looking forward to this next chapter, as it will mean we can deliver more kinds of merchandise based on our games, and faster than before.

The pint-sized Death Incarnate includes his signature scythe weapon, an alternate face since he is sometimes known to smile, as well his trusty keepsakes, the Pierced Butterfly and Companion Mort.

We're very excited to get our hands on this figure, as we've long wanted to collaborate with Good Smile and see how they can bring our characters to life. And there's more where this came from, as Good Smile has announced Nendoroid Megaera is in the works, as well as shown the latest progress on the more lifelike POP UP PARADE Zagreus figurine! We hope you enjoy them all if you get a chance to pick them up.

Our San Francisco-based team is seeking a Platforms Quality Assurance Specialist to ensure our games ship at a high quality standard in accordance with the certification guidelines of each of the platforms on which they appear. As part of our QA team, this is a hands-on Quality Assurance role that also includes some responsibilities of a release coordinator, including maintaining communication with our development team, platform partners, external developers, and ratings agencies. This is a full-time, on-site position at our San Francisco studio, with relocation services provided, and open to any candidate authorized to work in the United States. The ideal candidate has experience performing QA on a number of shipped titles, and facilitating certification and submission-related partner communications. They should love playing a variety of games in-depth on a broad set of platforms with an eye towards what makes a game work well in each unique format. They should be detail-oriented, and communicate clearly and succinctly in writing and speech.

Job Responsibilities:

• Perform in-depth QA on our previous and in-progress titles on all platforms to ensure adherence with performance, quality, and compliance standards

• Provide clear, concise written bug reports, and communicate with developers and external teams about technical issues or requirements

• Schedule, prepare, and submit platform-specific submission documents

• Perform video capture and deliver submission materials for ratings agencies

• Provide platform-specific customer support for customers when necessary

• Analyze platform-specific community bug reports, including Discord and Reddit discussions, to track and reproduce any issues in our games

• Assist with day-to-day functional QA during times as needed

• Provide feedback to the design team on new, in-progress features

About the Candidate:

• Experience performing general QA, certification testing, and release coordination support for one or more shipped titles

• Experience communicating with platform partners, and using proprietary submission portals for each platform

• Able to work on-site in our San Francisco studio with a mostly-remote team

• Organized, responsible, and able to work autonomously

• Familiarity playing Hades and our other titles on multiple platforms

Compensation: We are open to a range of experience for this position as long as the candidate has performed general QA and certification support on at least one shipped title, and will offer commensurate compensation. For those earlier in their careers at the Associate level (~3 years directly relevant experience), we offer $30/hr; while for those at Senior Advanced level (~8+ years directly relevant experience), we offer $50/hr, with the range applying to experience levels in between. Our expectation is that more-experienced candidates would operate more independently, with extensive experience across a variety of platforms and devices, having ushered multiple titles through submission. 401(k) and choice of PPO or HMO health insurance plan also included.

Hades has been certified as Deck Verified, so you can expect it to work great on the platform. Note that, when starting the game on Steam Deck, we recommend using the Vulkan rendering option for optimal performance.

As for our past titles, Transistor is also Verified, while Bastion currently is certified 'Playable', which is one step short of 'Verified' status and means it may require some settings adjustments to work optimally on the platform. Pyre has not yet been reviewed by Valve.

We've been excited to experience Hades and our past games in this new format! If you get a chance to pick up a Steam Deck, we hope you enjoy playing our games on it.

We're so excited that Zagreus is joining Good Smile Company's legendary line of Nendoroid super-cute collectibles! You can pre-order him from Good Smile's official web site.

The rebellious Prince of the Underworld comes with accessories such as a Bloodstone and Nectar bottle, plus the trusty Shield of Chaos (for when the Stygian Blade doesn't cut it).

Collaborating with Good Smile on this figure has been a fantastic experience, and we were thrilled to see the amazing response to the Twitter reveal this week! Several of us at Supergiant own no small number of Nendoroid figures based on some of our favorite characters from games and anime, so seeing Zagreus join this fray is like a dream come true. Besides, statues of famous Greek gods and heroes have been around for thousands of years... seems only fair that Zagreus should also exist in statue form!

Hades Everywhere!

Hot on the heels of last year's v1.0 launch of Hades on Nintendo Switch and PC, our big focus this year was to bring our most celebrated game to more places.

Earlier this year, we launched a physical edition for Nintendo Switch, the first time one of our games has been distributed worldwide on physical media. Then in the summer, we launched Hades for Xbox and PlayStation, including physical editions created in partnership with Private Division!

These latest versions of the game earned widespread critical acclaim, becoming some of the highest rated games available on the new generation of consoles. We're honored that Hades continues to resonate with so many players around the world!

Meanwhile, Hades continued earning prestigious awards, such as the BAFTA Award for Best Game (and four other categories!), the D.I.C.E. Award for Game of the Year (and four other categories), the Game Developers Choice Award for Game of the Year (and two other categories), and most recently, the first-ever Hugo Award for Best Video Game! It's been overwhelming!

Bastion Turned 10!

This summer marked 10 years since the launch of our very first game!

All seven of us who worked on Bastion are all still together at the studio, continuing to build on everything we learned back then. We couldn't have done it without you -- Bastion's success paved the way for us to make Transistor, which led us to Pyre, which led us to Hades. And here we are, just like that!

About Hades

Hades combines the best aspects of our critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.

Originally launched in the fall of 2020 for PC and Nintendo Switch, Hades has been named 2020's Game of the Year by more than 50 sources, including BAFTA, IGN, Polygon, TIME Magazine, and The Washington Post. It's also one of the most critically acclaimed games of last year (and our most critically acclaimed game ever), according to Metacritic and OpenCritic.

Playing as the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you'll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.

For more information, visit our Hades FAQ.

Our game's unexpected success meant our team of seven (at the time) could stick together and make something new. And stick together we did! We've since created Transistor, Pyre, and Hades, and we're as excited as ever to carry on and see what else we can make.

We wouldn't be here without Bastion and all the generous support it's received from players around the world. Thank you for playing our game and believing in our team.

Hades: Your Game of the Year!!!

The brunt of our efforts this year surrounded the development of our rogue-like dungeon crawler, Hades, which launched on Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac on September 17 after close to two years of development in Early Access. We've been blown away by the response, as Hades has become our fastest-selling, most highly acclaimed game yet.

It's been selected as 2020's Game of the Year by IGN, Polygon, TIME Magazine, and The Washington Post, among others. It earned Best Action Game and Best Indie Game at The Game Awards, Best Action Game from PC Gamer, and Critics' Choice and Best Indie Game at the Golden Joystick Awards. It's also one of the most critically acclaimed games of the year (and our most critically acclaimed game ever), according to Metacritic and OpenCritic.

Hades is even in the running for Game of the Year in The Steam Awards! This really means a lot, so if you enjoyed the game, we would really appreciate your vote.

If you've played our third game, Pyre, then maybe you'll know what we mean when we say mere distance cannot separate our spirits. While we couldn't celebrate our good fortunes in person this year, in some ways the circumstances brought us closer together... not just with each other, but with our community as well.

Looking ahead, we're excited to be able to stick together as a team, and keep making games. While it's too early to say what's next for us as yet, we're really looking forward to figuring it out. For now, from all of us, we wish you a safe, restful, cozy, happy holiday season, and all the best in the coming year.

Warm wishes for the season, from the House of Hades!

Patch Notes & Discord

Full patch notes are available here, in the game client, and our official Discord, where you can join a welcoming community of Hades players and Supergiant fans. Also, just in case you like your patch notes recited via a disembodied storyteller, we of course have that for you as well:

About the Hades Original Soundtrack

To accompany our v1.0 Launch, we're pleased to offer the complete Hades Original Soundtrack, featuring two and a half hours of stunning music created for the game by our composer and audio director, Darren Korb.

Even if you've heard the blood-pumping tracks we've released thus far in Early Access, we can confidently say we've saved some of the best for last in this full release! Look for the soundtrack in digital formats, as well as on vinyl or compact disc.

About the Game

Hades combines the best aspects of our critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.

As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you'll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt. We designed Hades for Early Access from the ground up to see just what we could create in partnership with our community. After three years in development, the result is by far the biggest, most feature-rich game we've ever made. We hope it captures your imagination right away with its fast-paced action and detailed world, and keeps you discovering new events and possibilities for dozens or even hundreds of hours. For more information, visit the Hades FAQ on our web site.

What's Next?

We put everything we've got into v1.0 of Hades! As always around our game launches or Major Updates, we'll be monitoring this launch closely to ensure it's as problem-free as possible for all players, deploying patches as needed to address any issues. Once we're sure things are in a good spot, our small team will be taking a break to recharge, and plan what's next. Looking further ahead to 2021 and beyond, we'll be excited to say more about what's in store for us just as soon as we're ready.

Thank You!!

Hades was made possible through the 10+ years of experience we've gained working together as a team, and the generous support and enthusiastic feedback provided by our player community during the course of development. Thanks to you, this game grew bigger than we ever expected, and we loved creating it in every detail.
