Supergiant Games has recently released a major update for Hades 2, the sequel to their popular roguelike action-adventure game. The Olympic Update brings a plethora of new content, including a brand-new region – Olympus. Players can now explore the mountain of the gods, along with multiple new locations within Olympus and other existing regions.
In addition to the new region, the update introduces a new weapon called Xinth’s Black Coat, two new allies with unique Keepsakes, and two new Animal Familiars – Raki the Raven and Hecuba the Hound. Players can also expect to find dozens of new cosmetic items to customize their Crossroads, as well as hours of new dialogue with 2,500 new voice lines to further develop the game’s plot.
One of the notable additions in the Olympic Update is the new world map that appears as the protagonist, Melinoë, moves between regions. The update also includes native support for Apple’s M1 Macs, catering to a wider range of players across different platforms.
As Hades 2 continues to evolve, Supergiant Games plans to release more updates before the game leaves early access next year. There are also talks of a console release in the future. Despite its early access status, Hades 2 has already received positive feedback, with critics praising its comfort and familiarity, coupled with the element of surprise that keeps players engaged.
For a detailed breakdown of all the new additions in the Olympic Update, players can refer to the extensive patch notes available on Steam. Additionally, Supergiant Games has released a nearly 27-minute dramatic reading of the patch notes for those who prefer a more immersive experience. With its continuous updates and engaging gameplay, Hades 2 promises to deliver an exciting experience for both new and returning players alike.
