Hades 2 has officially entered early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store after a short testing period. While it’s still a work in progress, it’s already worth playing with its polished gameplay and engaging story. The game is expected to be in development until at least the end of 2024, but there’s plenty to do in the meantime. It features multiple regions, boss fights, weapons, tools, enemy types, fully-voiced dialogue, and new progression systems. The game feels like a polished demo, with a few minor art assets still in progress. Save data compatibility throughout early access and the full release is not guaranteed, but the developer will do everything possible to make it work. Newcomers can jump straight into Hades 2 without playing the first game, but experiencing the completed first Hades game is recommended due to their similarity. Hades 2 is set after the events of the first game and focuses on the aftermath of the family of gods. The first major update for Hades 2, which is several months away, will likely include a new region, a new weapon, and a new feature for the main hub area, The Crossroads. Bugs and unfinished content are expected in early access, but the developer has a plan for the game’s development. Overall, Hades 2 in its early access state is already an enjoyable experience and worth keeping an eye on as it continues to grow and evolve over the next few months.
