With the launch of Hades 2 in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, Supergiant Games, the game’s developers, have provided a general roadmap for updates leading up to the official, full release. A roguelike based on Greek myth, Hades 2 is the first direct sequel to be developed by Supergiant, a studio known for its strong lineup of standalone games like Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre. As a direct sequel, however, Hades 2 represents an opportunity for the studio to more directly build on the mechanics and narrative of the first game.
