Hades 2 The Olympic Update

Supergiant Games has stealth-dropped its first major content update for Hades 2, which is currently in early access on PC. It adds a new region, Olympus, where players face a new threat: Prometheus, another Titan. Check out the reveal trailer below.

The update also adds Xinth, the Black Coat, the final Nocturnal Arm, which specializes in blocking and unleashing seeking Special projectiles, complete with its own Aspects. Two new Animal Familiars and allies with new Keepsakes and Blessings also await. The Crossroads also gets a makeover with “dozens” of decorations and music to unlock.

If that weren’t enough, there’s also new art and music, around 2,500 new voice lines, and even some surprises to discover. Check out the full patch notes below in a dramatic reading by the game’s narrator.

Hades 2 early access is available for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Check out our review – we scored it a 9 out of 10 for its narrative, combat, characters, and more.
