Hades 2’s Major Update for Early Access Released

Supergiant Games has just released the second major update for Hades 2 on PC, which is still running in early access. The new patch, known as the Warsong Update, invites gamers to reach the peak of Mount Olympus for what the developers call “the final confrontation.” One of the standout additions in this update is Ares, the god of war. Alongside this new character, players can look forward to a host of enhancements including a fresh animal companion, expanded storylines with additional voice acting, updated boons, the Altar of Ashes, more resources to gather, and improved menu systems.

Here’s a quick summary directly from Supergiant Games:

In a recent post, Supergiant Games shared some insights about their development journey, revealing that they are already planning a third significant update expected to drop “some months from now.” However, they also mentioned that it’s still a bit early to pinpoint when Hades 2 will officially leave early access and be fully released.

The developers pointed out, “Early Access continues to be an essential part of Hades II’s journey, and we hope this is evident in our Major Updates and patches so far. With the main framework of both the Underworld and Surface journeys now solidified, we’re excited to focus on fleshing out even more of the game’s content, aiming to complete what we’ve started… until it’s done!”

The exciting part is that the Hades 2 Warsong Update comes at no cost. Players who want to dive into this update might need to restart their Steam client before they can begin downloading it.
