Continuing the Journey
Drawing from the experience of Hades 1's early access development, the roadmap for Hades 2 follows a familiar pattern. Supergiant Games emphasizes the importance of player feedback in refining existing features and ensuring optimal gameplay experience. Whether through direct communication via Discord or by analyzing gameplay data, player input serves as a guiding force in shaping the game's evolution.
What's on the Horizon
The current roadmap outlines details for the first major update, slated for release later this year. Among the planned additions are:
- New Region: Players can anticipate the arrival of an entirely new region to explore, replete with fresh characters, adversaries, and mysteries.
- New Weapon: A sixth weapon, accompanied by new weapon aspects, will be introduced, offering players new strategies and combat styles to master.
- Crossroads Customization: A new feature allowing players to customize the appearance of the game's main hub is also in the works, offering a personalized touch to the player's experience.
In addition to these major updates, players can expect smaller enhancements to various aspects of the game, including character portraits, environmental art, music, story, and voice-acting.
Looking Ahead
While a final release date for Hades 2 remains unspecified, Supergiant Games reassures players of its commitment to maintaining save data compatibility throughout the game's development and beyond. As with its predecessor, Hades 2 aims to provide a seamless gaming experience, ensuring that players' progress and decisions remain intact.
Hades 2 is available for early access and is currently priced at $29.99 on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Supergiant Games acknowledges that pricing may be subject to change based on the scope of future updates. However, players who purchase the game during early access will not be affected by any subsequent price adjustments.
