Supergiant Games’ game is getting a sequel, but it won’t be available in full version at first.

Here’s the game’s overview: “The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft. As the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you’ll explore a more extensive, deeper mythic world, conquering the forces of the Titan of Time with the full might of Olympus behind you in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment.

Infuse your legendary weapons of Night with ancient magick so that none may stand in your way. Become stronger with powerful Boons from more than a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus. There are nearly limitless ways to build your abilities. Meet a cast of dozens of fully-voiced, larger-than-life characters, including plenty of new faces and some old friends. Grow closer to them through various new interactions, and experience countless unique story events based on how your journey unfolds.

New locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and surprises await as you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld again and again. Reveal the mysteries of the Arcana Altar, tame witchy familiars, and gather reagents using Tools of the Unseen to get closer to your goal. Thanks to various permanent upgrades and the return of God Mode, you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience what Hades II has to offer. But if you are one, you can brave escalating challenges for greater rewards and prove just how divine you are. Rich, atmospheric presentation and storytelling fused with responsive action is the hallmark of Supergiant’s titles. Vivid new hand-painted environments, even smoother real-time 3D characters, and an electrifying original score make this mythic world burst with life.”

Player feedback was critical to the developers of the original Hades, and they will repeat this process if they get to this point in the development of Hades II. The game will therefore launch in early access in 2023 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store).
