This event was not preceded by any announcements or presentations. Without any warning, Hades 2 was released in early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Developer Supergiant Games hopes to receive feedback from players to make improvements to the game. That is why they launched it quietly to lure those who played the first part and know exactly what this game needs. Since Hades 2 is in the early access phase, of course, it does not have all the features that the full version will have.

The developers also said that they already have a major update that will be released this year. The feedback from players will be taken into account when working on this update. They also stressed that early access will last until the end of 2024.

The game in early access has enough content to analyse and enough opportunities to play. However, some characters have not been added to Hades 2, and the game also lacks dialogue. Therefore, early access is not suitable for those who are more interested in the plot and character interaction. However, the progress made during the early access will be transferred to the game after its official launch.
