The wait is over: Hades II launches in early entry right this moment. The sport was slowly rolled out to pick out gamers throughout its technical test period that began last month. After that testing interval — wherein gamers acquired to expertise the sport’s opening space, combat the primary boss, and meet a smattering of latest gods and characters — early entry grants gamers an in-progress construct of the total recreation.
According to the Hades II FAQ page, this early entry construct comprises “as a lot content material from day one in Early Entry as the unique did.” Supergiant Video games wrote on its FAQ web page that it’ll implement a number of main updates through the early entry interval, which can broaden story and gameplay content material whereas addressing participant suggestions.
Early entry can be obtainable on Steam and the Epic Video games Retailer. A console launch is deliberate for Hades II, and Supergiant will share extra particulars on that at a later time.
I’ve solely spent a tiny little bit of time with Hades II’s early entry, progressing previous the primary boss and into the second space. I received’t share spoilers, however the brand new space is fairly cool, with a markedly completely different vibe from something I bear in mind in the original Hades. I didn’t play the unique Hades throughout its early entry interval again in 2017, so I’m excited to see the sport take form.
