Hades II gets a new location and new pets

Source: The Verge

The first major update for Hades II, which is still in early access, is out now, adding things like a new region, the game’s sixth and final weapon, new pets, native support for Macs with M1 chips, and more.

The big feature looks to be the new region. You might be able to guess what that region is based on the update’s title — “The Olympic Update” — but if you haven’t played the game yet, I’m not going to say anything else. I’m looking forward to exploring it as soon as I can and trying to take down the boss, who seems to be featured in the update’s release trailer. (I’ll probably try to get there with the new weapon, “Xinth, the Black Coat.”)

There are a bunch of other updates, too. Supergiant has added two animal familiars to the game: a bird and a dog (which, yes, you can pet). You can get boons from Athena and Dionysus, who were both in the original Hades. There’s new music; the song in the update’s trailer is very good. I could go on, but you should just watch the trailer for yourself or read the extensive patch notes.

As for what’s next, Supergiant plans to add a “climactic confrontation” after the new region, additional boons, and more enemies. The company says it’s planning to launch its next major update in “early 2025.”
