Early Access Release for ‘Hades II’ Slated for Q2 2024

Supergiant Games, the creators of the critically acclaimed ‘Hades,’ have revealed a revised launch date for ‘Hades II’ in Early Access. Originally slated for a release this year, the game will now debut in Early Access in the second quarter of 2024.

The development team has elucidated the reasoning behind this shift in schedule. Their primary objective is to ensure that ‘Hades II’ boasts a substantial amount of content upon its Early Access release, akin to what the original game offered when it first entered Early Access. Despite the understanding that Early Access titles are works in progress, Supergiant Games is committed to making ‘Hades II’ a rewarding experience from the outset.

In addition to this announcement, the team has revealed plans for a Technical Test phase before the official Early Access launch. This test will involve a select group of players and aims to identify and address any technical or compatibility issues that may have been overlooked during development. It’s important to note that the technical test will feature considerably less content than what will be available in the Early Access version, and participation will likely be limited to a small subset of players who express their interest. More details about this test will be provided in the coming year.

As for the duration of ‘Hades II’s’ stay in Early Access, it remains undetermined. The developers’ primary focus is on expanding the core content and ensuring that the game aligns with their high standards, as well as those of their dedicated player base.
