Okay, so, here’s the deal. Supergiant Games—they’re those folks behind Hades 2—just dropped this update on Tuesday. It’s kind of a big one, and apparently, they’re now trotting toward the final version of the game. Like, we’re in the home stretch here!
They’ve called it The Unseen Update. Such a dramatic name, right? They’re going on about “expanding core combat, Guardian encounters, and character relationships.” I didn’t even know Guardian encounters needed expanding. But hey, they’re adding new fighting styles and some story bits. You want all the gritty details? You can hunt them down on Steam, or be brave and find someone to read it with flair. Like, really go for it.
Now, here’s the juicy part. With this new update out there, Supergiant is laser-focused on wrapping up Hades 2. Like, boom, done. They’re tinkering with the ending and adding achievements—always fun. But, no more big updates are on the horizon, aside from squashing bugs. They literally said they have “no plans for additional regions, encounters, abilities, and so on.” Kind of a bummer, but also, thank you for the heads up.
The game went into early access in May 2024. Feels like yesterday, right? There’s no set date for the big full release yet. Total suspense. Although, Supergiant is buzzing about it, just like the players. “We’ve got a massive game to finish!” they said—or something like that. They can’t pinpoint the version 1.0 launch, but they’re eager to share everything they’ve cooked up.
Oh, and about platforms? Hades 2 is already on Windows PC in early access, and when they finally roll out version 1.0, it’ll be first on Nintendo Switch and uh… Nintendo Switch 2. Didn’t see that one coming?
Also, like, past updates named Olympic and Warsong, Unseen is free during early access. Thank goodness, right? Supergiant’s keeping it generous.
So, here’s the lowdown on what’s packed in The Unseen Update—you didn’t ask for this rundown, but here it is anyway. Expect Hades 2 to just be all-around beefier. Like, the hero you didn’t know you needed.
