When is the Hades 2 release date? The mythological roguelike game was revealed during The Game Awards 2022. Despite receiving critical praise for their previous titles, Hades 2 is the first sequel Supergiant Games has ever made.
Hades 2 sees players taking control of Melinoë, a daughter of Hades and sister to the original game’s protagonist, Zagreus. Her goal is to defeat the titan Chronos, who attempts to escape imprisonment in the Underworld to seek revenge against the gods of Olympus who trapped him there. The roguelike game is already out in early access, but here’s what we know about the full release.
Hades 2 release date estimate
We expect the Hades 2 release date before the end of 2025. The current early access build of Hades 2 has recently received its final pre-1.0 patch, and players can already complete the game from start to finish.
Just like the original, Hades 2 has been made available as an early access title on PC to help keep the game’s balance in check. Supergiant confirms that Hades 2 patch 11 is the last update during its early access period, delivering some final balance tweaks before the 1.0 release date.
“We expect Early Access development of Hades II to continue during 2025,” Supergiant says on the official Steam page. “We don’t have a specific end date for our Early Access at this time.”
While Supergiant has been radio silent following the patch, Hades 2’s appearance at Gamescom as part of the Nintendo Switch 2 line-up suggests that the launch isn’t too far away. Both Hades 1.0 and Hades 2 early access were shadow dropped, so it stands to reason that the full version of Hades 2 could arrive at any moment.
Hades 2 has been in early access for over 15 months, which is quite a bit less than the 22 months that the original Hades required. While it did launch with less content than Hades 2 currently boasts, Supergiant’s experience with the previous game can certainly expedite the development process for the sequel.
