Summary

  • Independent developer Supergiant has added new features, including Ares, the Greek god of war, and a new creature called Gale, a polecat that increases player mobility, to its rogue-like game Hades 2.
  • The update includes additional story elements, dialogue and character interactions, and new enemy types, as well as new artwork at the Altar of Ashes.
  • The studio is now working on a successor update, due in a few months, which will focus on boss battles and character relationships.
  • There is no indication yet as to when the company will declare the game ready for full release, suggesting it is still very much in the early access stage, over a year after it was first released.
  • This is the latest in a series of updates designed to give players greater variety and a feeling of progression, Supergiant said.
