Hades II announced, launching into Early Access next year

During The Game Awards 2022 broadcast, independent developer Supergiant Games announced its first-ever sequel: Hades II.

The follow-up to the studio’s award-winning, Greek-mythology-inspired action roguelike will follow a similar trajectory to the original, launching first into Early Access to give players a chance to help shape the game.

Rather than following Zagreus on another adventure, Hades II will instead focus on a new hero: Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld and Zag’s sister. And rather than trying to take on Hades, it looks like she’s be fighting the Titan Cronos.

You can check out the debut trailer below, and find more info on Supergiant’s blog post announcement.

Hades II launches into Early Access on Windows PC in 2023, though it’ll eventually come to consoles as well.
