Supergiant Games Drops the Bomb: Hades II Early Access Unveiled
Mark your calendars, gaming enthusiasts! Supergiant Games has just revealed that Hades II will make its grand entrance into the world of early access in the second quarter of 2024. While we’re on the edge of our seats awaiting more juicy details, the developer has promised to spill the beans on launch date, pricing, and system requirements as we draw closer to the big day.
More Content Than You Can Shake a Stygian Blade At
Supergiant Games is pulling out all the stops with Hades II, vowing that it will launch in early access with at least as much content as the original Hades did when it first hit early access on Steam. And let’s not forget, the epic saga of Hades initially graced the Epic Games Store in 2018 before making its way to Steam a year later, with the full release in September 2020. In other words, Hades II’s early access is kicking off with more content than the original game started with on Steam. Now, that’s a bold promise!
Striking the “Sweet Spot” for Player Feedback
In a recent blog post, Supergiant Games had this to say: “We believe the timeframe we’re planning for will be the ‘sweet spot,’ where the game is far enough along that player feedback won’t mostly consist of stuff we already know isn’t there yet, but isn’t so far along that it’s too late in development for us to act on the feedback we receive.” Sounds like they’re aiming to hit the bullseye for player engagement and refinement.
Early Taste with a Technical Test
Before Hades II graces early access, players can look forward to a tantalizing technical test. While it won’t offer the full buffet of content, it will give a select few gamers a sneak peek. Stay tuned for more details as the test build nears completion.
Updates Galore: A Journey Through Early Access
Hades II’s early access roadmap is reminiscent of the first game’s journey. Post-early access launch, players can expect a series of major updates, injecting fresh content and refining the game based on player feedback. These updates will expand the story, introducing new characters and deeper interactions with familiar faces. Ultimately, they’ll pave the way for the game’s full release, bringing the story to its thrilling conclusion.
A Mysterious 1.0 Release Date
As for the highly-anticipated 1.0 release, Supergiant Games remains tight-lipped about the specifics. But don’t fret, you can already add Hades II to your wishlist on Steam and the Epic Games Store, ensuring you won’t miss a beat when more information drops.
Stay tuned, fellow gamers, for more updates on Hades II as we inch closer to its epic early access launch in 2024!
