Supergiant Games is expanding Hades 2 with a huge update and delivering new content for enthusiastic fans. But if you are hoping for the full version, you will have to continue to be patient.
A new milestone on the road to perfection
Since Hades 2 entered early access on steam, it has been thrilling players with its challenging gameplay and gripping Greek mythology. Expectations were sky-high, after all, the title was following in the footsteps of its award-winning predecessor. Despite this high bar, the game won over critics and fans alike, receiving consistently excellent ratings in the 90s on Steam.
Now the latest update, called “The Warsong”, is providing a breath of fresh air. It is the second major content update since the early access launch. Numerous innovations come with it. A similarly extensive patch was released four months ago, which further refined the game. In between, smaller updates were released that included balance changes and bug fixes. But with “The Warsong”, Hades 2 has now reached a decisive stage of development.

Those who have wondered what challenges await them at the end of the road will now find out – but not without facing new dangers.
Ares breaks loose – and the final release remains a distant prospect

His arrival not only brings an expansion of the combat system, but also changes the mechanics around the Arcana and the resource system.

But as exciting as these new additions are, one pressing question remains unanswered: When will Hades 2 be released in its final version?
