Hades 2 Update: Epic Final Showdown with Dramatic Patch Notes

Feb 20, 2025 11:25 AM

Hades 2 has received a significant update called the Warsong update, paving the way for players to engage in "the final confrontation." This major patch, following last year's Olympic update, has led to various new features, including the introduction of Ares, who will provide fresh boons as players journey toward the newly added challenge on the surface route. The update is so extensive that it required a dramatic 27-minute recitation of the patch notes by the game's narrator. Additionally, new content includes an animal familiar, various new enemies, a streamlined resource-gathering system, and a host of new music. The developers at Supergiant Games have announced plans for at least one more major update before the full game release, although no date has been set for the final version yet.

What are the new features in the Hades 2 Warsong update?

The Warsong update introduces Ares as a new Olympian offering boons, the final confrontation on the surface route, new enemies, an animal familiar, and enhanced resource gathering. Additionally, players can expect new music and updates to the gameplay experience.

Hades 2 is a highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed game Hades, which garnered numerous awards for its gameplay, story, and artwork. Players can expect the same blend of roguelike mechanics and rich narrative as they delve deeper into the underworld mythology, all while engaging in exploration and combat alongside gods and mythical creatures. The original Hades was praised for its innovative design and engaging replay value, positioning Hades 2 to build on that success and captivate both new and returning players.

Supergiant Games really outdid themselves with the Warsong update—adding Ares and a final confrontation feels like the perfect mix of fresh challenges and that classic Hades flair. A 27-minute patch note recitation Now that’s the kind of over-the-top detail that makes me love this studio even more.
