Developer Supergiant Games revealed that the Early Access stage if the upcoming charming rogue-like dungeon crawler Hades II arrives in Q2 2024. The team teases that Hades II will have at least as much content from day one in Early Access as the original game did back when it launched in Early Access on Steam.
Prior to the Early Access launch, there will be a technical test with a limited sample of players. It will contain much less content than what’s in store for the game as its main purpose is to ensure there are no compatibility issues. After the EA stage beings, the game will receive several Major Updates, adding the rest of the game’s core content and introducing changes based on players’ feedback.
The story of Hades II will expand with each update, culminating in v1.0 launch which will feature the conclusion.
“We don’t yet know exactly how long it will take us to get to v1.0 of Hades II, as our experience developing in Early Access has taught us (among many things) to expect the unexpected. For now, our focus is to keep building core content — environments, characters, weapons, Boons, story events, music, and more — as we gear up for our Technical Test and Early Access launch in Q2 this coming year. Thank you again for your patience and support as we work to ensure our first sequel meets our standards, and hopefully yours, too!”
