Hades 2 Director Hints at Major Update Clues Hidden In-Game

Supergiant Games’ highly anticipated Hades 2 just received its first significant patch, bringing notable changes to mechanics such as sprinting and resource gathering. According to Greg Kasavin, the game's creative director, the update marks the beginning of small patches leading up to a major future update. He hints that players can find subtle clues about upcoming content if they delve deeply enough into the game. These patches are expected to be rolled out through the year, keeping Hades 2 in early access until at least the end of 2024.

The first major patch for Hades 2 increases Melinoë’s sprinting speed and improves the reliability of dashing out of attack recoveries. It also enhances resource gathering by allowing players to use specific tools to collect a broader range of resources.

Hades 2 continues the successful formula of its predecessor, offering a rich roguelike experience set in the underworld. The game focuses on Melinoë, a new protagonist with her own unique abilities and weapons, expanding on the mythological themes and engaging combat that made the original Hades a hit. The game's early access phase aims to gather player feedback to refine and enhance the experience before its full release.
