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, as she fights the titan Cronos who attempts to escape imprisonment in the Underworld to seek revenge against the gods of Olympus who trapped him there. The 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. 

While the original Hades needed 22 months in early access (December 2018 – September 2020), it also launched with less content than Hades 2 did. In addition to this, the devs now have experience balancing a game like this, so their experience should accelerate the development process this time around.

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. As Hades 2 was initially revealed at The Game Awards 2022, we thought we would get an early access update at Summer Games Fest 2024 in June, but it was dropped as a surprise in May 2024.
