Hades 2 guides and release date estimate

Hades 2 is out in early access right now, but when is the Hades 2 full release? Here's everything we know, including the latest guides.

Hades 2 release date: Melinoë performing a magical spell in a dark room

When is the Hades 2 release date? The mythological roguelike game was revealed during The Game Awards 2022. Despite receiving critical praise for their previous titles, Hades 2 is the first sequel Supergiant Games has ever made.

Hades 2 sees players taking control of Melinoë, a daughter of Hades and sister to the original game’s protagonist, Zagreus. Her goal is to defeat the titan Chronos, who attempts to escape imprisonment in the Underworld to seek revenge against the gods of Olympus who trapped him there. The roguelike game is already out in early access, but here’s what we know about the full release.

Hades 2 release date estimate

We expect the Hades 2 release date to fall anywhere between Q2 — Q4 2025. The current early access build of Hades 2 is very far in development, players can already complete the game from start to finish. 

Just like the original, Hades 2 has been made available as an early access title on PC to help keep the game’s balance in check. While the original Hades needed 22 months in early access (December 2018 – September 2020), it also launched with less content than Hades 2. In addition to this, the devs now have experience balancing a game like this, so their expertise should accelerate the development process.

As Hades 2 was initially revealed at The Game Awards back in 2022, we believe there’s a chance Supergiant Games could reveal the full release date during The Game Awards on Thursday, December 12, 2024.
