Hades 2 has just unveiled its second major update, aptly named The Warsong, which introduces the formidable god of war, Ares, into the game. This update brings a wealth of new content for players to dive into. Let's explore what this significant update has in store for the fans of this roguelike dungeon crawler sequel!
Hades 2 Releases Warsong Update
The God Of War, Ares, Has Arrived
Hades II's latest patch, The Warsong Update, propels protagonist Melinoë into the "Final Confrontation" past the Guardian of Olympus. This update also welcomes the bloodthirsty god of war, Ares, complete with his unique Boons that promise to add an exhilarating edge to your gameplay.
Beyond Ares's introduction, The Warsong Update boasts a plethora of new features. Players can now encounter a new animal familiar, face new foes, and explore an updated Altar of Ashes with fresh art and Arcana effects. Over 2,000 new voice lines enrich the game's narrative, and new events await discovery. For those looking to take a break from the intense dungeon crawling, the Crossroads offers a place to unwind, enjoy new soundtracks, or even share a melodic duet with Artemis.
Planning Ahead For The Third Major Update
Even as players delve into The Warsong, Supergiant Games is already laying the groundwork for the third major update, slated for release in the coming months. As detailed on their Steam news post, Hades II remains in Early Access, with the developers noting that "it’s still too early to share our plans beyond that, including when our v1.0 launch will be." However, they've hinted that the full release might be closer than expected, given that the core structures of both the Underworld and Surface routes are now nearly complete. The focus now shifts to enriching the existing content.
Following the release of all post-launch patches for The Warsong Update, Supergiant Games plans to focus on several key initiatives:
- Hidden Aspects: The Nocturnal Arms harbor secrets yet to be uncovered, which the team intends to make available for players to wield.
- Enhanced Guardians: Boss battles, a cornerstone of Hades II, will undergo enhancements to keep players on their toes with new challenges and surprises.
- Expanded Story: Further development of Melinoë’s narrative and the intricate web of inter-character relationships and subplots is already in the works.
Supergiant Games concluded their update post with heartfelt gratitude to their player base. "In the meantime, thank you very much for playing Hades II! You're helping us get closer to achieving our goal of making our first-ever sequel our biggest, most replayable game yet, and a worthy successor to the original Hades that's filled with its own surprises and special touches."
