Hades 2 Technical Test Registration Now Open

Apr 17, 2024 11:17 AM

Exciting news for fans of the critically acclaimed roguelike game, Hades, as Supergiant Games has announced that sign-ups for the Hades 2 technical test are now open. This testing phase will allow registered players early access to the first major area of Hades 2, introducing early-game characters and various in-game systems. However, the developer has noted that this phase will feature significantly less content than the upcoming early access version of the game. Interested players can enlist for the technical test through the game’s Steam page where, initially, only a limited number of participants will be admitted, with plans to increase this number over time. There's no set date yet for the early access release. Hades 2 was first announced in December 2022, and fans are eagerly awaiting more information on the sequel’s official launch.

How can I sign up for the Hades 2 technical test?

To sign up for the Hades 2 technical test, visit the Steam page of Hades 2 and look for the 'Request Access' section to register your interest in participating in the test phase.

Hades, the original game, is a roguelike dungeon crawler developed by Supergiant Games that received critical acclaim for its compelling storytelling, engaging gameplay, and unique art style. It blends hack-and-slash combat with a rich narrative, following the story of Zagreus, the son of Hades, as he attempts to escape the underworld. The game's innovative approach to narrative and failure makes each attempt at escape a new story opportunity, keeping players engaged through repeated playthroughs. The announcement of Hades 2 has generated much excitement within the gaming community, as players look forward to seeing how the sequel will build on the success of its predecessor.
