- Supergiant Games announced the technical playtest for Hades 2.
- According to the developers, the early access for the game is coming soon.
- The playtest will be available for more than a week and less than a month, says Supergiant Games.
After Hades’ wide success that saw Supergiant Games propel to the top, the studio is back with yet another roguelike adventure. In a new Supergiant Games blog, the company revealed it’s close to launching Hades II in Early Access! Furthermore, a technical test for Hades 2 is starting soon.
Hades 2 will be a direct sequel continuation of the original. Just like its predecessor, Hades 2 will be available in Early Access for some time leading up to its full v1.0 launch. As of now, there is no concrete release date, but it seems after the playtest, it should be announced soon. Players can already wishlist the game on popular platforms like Steam or the Epic Games Store.
The technical test will come with the first major area of the game, as well as other early-game characters, systems, and content. In the original game’s terms, you cannot get past Tartarus even if you vanquished its guardian. So, once you clear the playtest content, you will be asked to stop playing with a message that early access will come soon.
