Hades 2 has rolled out its final early access update before the official 1.0 launch, marking a significant milestone in the game’s development. While fans eagerly await a concrete release date, this eleventh patch delivers a host of refinements based on player feedback and developer observations.
Supergiant Games detailed the changes in a recent Steam blog post, highlighting balance adjustments for weapons and boons, tweaks to enemy encounters, and visual and audio improvements. The update also addresses various bugs, ensuring a smoother experience for players. Notably, the studio confirmed that Zodiac Sand and Void Lens resources will automatically convert to Prestige once the full version launches, hinting at upcoming story content tied to the True Ending.
Despite these updates, the team remains tight-lipped about the official release date. Back in June, Supergiant mentioned entering the final development phase, focusing on polishing the True Ending and other key elements. While anticipation builds, players can still dive into the early access version on Steam.
When Hades 2 does launch in full, it will follow in its predecessor’s footsteps as a timed console exclusive for Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2. The original Hades eventually expanded to PlayStation, Xbox, and even mobile platforms, suggesting a similar trajectory for the sequel. For now, fans will have to stay tuned for further announcements as Supergiant puts the finishing touches on this highly anticipated roguelike.
