Hades 2 Release Date Revealed by Developer

The highly anticipated dungeon crawler Hades is gearing up for its sequel release from Supergiant Games. After launching an early access version of Hades II in 2024, here's what we know about the projected full release timeline and developer insights regarding the game's launch.

Projected Hades II Full Release Window

PC players have been enjoying Hades II in early access since May 6, 2024 through Steam and the Epic Games Store, with macOS users gaining access on October 16, 2024 alongside a major content update. The most recent significant update arrived on February 19, 2025. Console players will need to wait until the full release - which could potentially arrive in Q2 2025 (April-June).

Given the development timeline and Supergiant Games' commitment to player feedback, a May 2025 launch appears most plausible. This would mark one year since early access began while allowing adequate time to implement improvements from the recent update. While still in development, early access gameplay already demonstrates the sequel's potential to match its critically acclaimed predecessor.

The development team continues refining Hades II during this extended early access period, with an official release date announcement expected soon.

Developer Insights on Hades II's Development

Development on Hades II commenced in early 2021, reuniting most of the original team and voice cast. Following its technical test and early access launch in 2024, the studio has primarily focused on development rather than marketing.

In previous interviews, Supergiant Games emphasized maintaining the first game's core mechanics while introducing fresh elements through new protagonist Melinoë and other characters. Fans eagerly await the full release to experience the refined dungeon-crawling action that made the original a standout success.
