Supergiant Games has announced that Hades 2 is now available for early access on PC via Steam. The game retails for $29.99, or PHP 910.00 in the Philippines.

Hades 2 is a rogue-like dungeon crawler that builds upon the best features of the first game and adds new systems, areas, and encounters that players can look forward to.

Even as an early access title, Supergiant Games states that Hades 2 already has more content than the full version of the original, and will receive a major update every few months that will add new features, content, areas, foes, and more.

The first major update is slated for later in 2024. Hades 2 is expected to remain in early access at least through the end of 2024.

Here’s an overview of Hades 2:

The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like roguelike dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.

Key Features
