Melinoë will also have a different arsenal of her own as a witch and sorceress who uses powerful magical abilities and “deadly skill” with “shadowy” weapons.
#Hades game release date upgrade#
Hades 2 is a rogue-like dungeon crawler, just like the original game, only this time you’ll be in a bigger mythic Underworld that Supergiant reveals will feature new locations, challenges, and upgrade systems to play around with. While it is a direct follow-up to the first game, Supergiant makes it clear that you don’t need to know anything about Hades or Greek mythology to get stuck into the sequel. Escaped from imprisonment in the Underworld Chronos now wages war on Olympus. Also set in and around Greek Myth, Hades 2 centres around Chronos, the Titan of Time, who’s known to be a “wicked father” to Hades and his brothers. Hades 2 is a direct sequel to the original game that is said to take place “sometime” after the events of Zagreus’ Underworld escapades. With some mystery surrounding the character, Supergiant games said it was eager to “explore her story and connection to her family, in so doing, expand on our vision of the Underworld.” Said to be based on an ancient Underworld deity, she’s thought to be related to Hades in “what little ancient mythology exists about her”. As the sister of Zagreus from the original game, Melinoë is also a character who’s plucked from ancient mythology. Hades 2 will introduce us to a new playable character in Melinoë, the immortal princess of the Underworld who we got to meet in the debut reveal trailer.

No prior knowledge of the original Hades is needed. Hades 2 is a direct sequel taking place sometime after the events of the original game. The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.
