First Look at Hades II

For a select few players, the chance to be among the first to experience Hades II has arrived. This much-anticipated follow-up to the 2020's favorite roguelike game is at the top of many gamers' must-play lists, yet only a lucky few will have the opportunity to participate in the technical test.

Developer Supergiant decided to share the experience with fans who weren't selected by hosting a surprise livestream. This gave the public a sneak peek at what to expect when Hades II eventually launches in Early Access.

What to Expect in Hades II

The sequel to Hades is shifting away from the original protagonist, Zagreus, and the familiar territories players have battled through countless times. The new star of the sequel is Zagreus' sister, Melinoë, the princess of the Underworld. She's on a mission to conquer new biomes and defeat the titan of time, Chronos, in his war against the Olympians.

In a fun twist to the original game, Melinoë isn't trying to escape hell but is instead attempting to break in and reclaim her home. From the details shared during the livestream, Hades II is a direct sequel to the first game, though it appears to be set some time later. Melinoë, who wasn't even born in the first game, is now a young woman.

Similarities and Differences in Gameplay

Initial impressions reveal that Hades II closely resembles its predecessor. The game retains its roguelike nature, isometric perspective, and stunning art. Players will find themselves returning to a home base, The Crossroads, upon death. Here, they'll encounter new characters like Hecate, Nemesis, and Odysseus, along with some familiar faces such as Hypnos, the god of sleep.

Despite these similarities, the introduction of a new protagonist and the shift in narrative direction promise to bring a fresh and exciting experience to fans of the original game.
