Hades 2 - The Warsong Update

Supergiant Games has released its second major content update for Hades 2. It adds the final battle on Mount Olympus, which players are invited to discover, and Ares, who brings several new Boons. Check out The Warsong trailer below.

Ares’s Boons are seemingly focused on inflicting Wounds, though you can also conjure falling blades with casts and dashes. The rest of the Pantheon also has some new Boons, while others have been improved or revamped. Over 2,000 new voice lines, new events, and a brand new Familiar who provides a powerful benefit have also been added.

Other changes include a reworked Altar of Ashes (complete with new Arcana Card art), no longer having to prioritize Gathering Tools, and balance changes to the Nocturnal Arms. You can also hang out at different places in the Crossroads and share a duet with Artemis.

Hades 2 is available for PC via early access. Check out our review of the base version here. A release date for Version 1.0 hasn’t been shared but stay tuned for updates.
