Hades 2 Devs Reveal Release Date

The highly anticipated dungeon crawler Hades is gearing up for its sequel launch from Supergiant Games. Following the early access release of Hades II in 2024, here's our projection for the full version's arrival and insights from the developers about the upcoming launch.

Estimated Release Timeline for Hades II

Hades II entered early access for PC players on May 6, 2024 through Steam and Epic Games Store, with macOS users joining on October 16, 2024 alongside a major content update. The most recent early access update arrived on February 19, 2025, while console players await the full release. Supergiant Games continues refining the game based on player feedback during this extended early access period.

Considering developers need time to implement feedback from February 2025's update, we anticipate a full launch in Q2 2025 (April-June). While April seems unlikely due to limited turnaround time, a May 2025 release would mark one year since early access began - potentially offering developers adequate time for final refinements.

Early access impressions already suggest Hades II is shaping up to meet the high standards set by its predecessor. Though the official 2025 release window is confirmed, the exact timing depends on Supergiant's development roadmap. An official launch date announcement appears imminent as we write this preview.

Developer Insights on Hades II

Development on Hades II commenced in early 2021, with most original team members and voice actors returning for the sequel. The studio has maintained silence about the full release schedule, preferring to let the early access version speak for itself. Their last major promotional push coincided with the May 2025 early access launch, after which the team refocused on development.

In May 2025 interviews, Supergiant expressed their commitment to preserving the original game's acclaimed formula while introducing fresh elements including new protagonist Melinoë. Fans eagerly await the complete experience that made the first game a breakout success.
