Hades II Gets Second Major Early Access Update

Supergiant Games is setting a stellar example of how games should be nurtured during their early access phase. The second major update for Hades II, aptly named Warsong, brings a comprehensive list of changes. While scrolling through the full changelog might take a while, it's nowhere near as daunting as the 1,700 fixes found in the latest patch for STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl.

Accompanying the update, the developers have enriched the game with over 2,000 new voice lines, fresh music tracks, and enhanced character interactions. Players can now engage with Ares, the God of War, alongside a new familiar, and benefit from a slew of quality-of-life improvements, enhancements, and bug fixes.

A standout feature of the changelog is the inclusion of changes specifically requested by regular players. This might seem like a minor detail, but it's a powerful statement that underscores the importance of player feedback in shaping the game's development.

Looking ahead, the third major update is slated for spring, though it's premature to discuss a definitive release window for the full game.
