Hades II Olympic Update Unleashes Divine Features

Hades 2's "Olympic Update" Ascends with New Content!

Supergiant Games has unleashed the first major update for Hades 2, titled "The Olympic Update," introducing a wealth of new features to the already impressive roguelike. This substantial update includes a breathtaking new region, powerful weapons, compelling characters, and much more, promising countless hours of additional gameplay.

Conquering Mount Olympus and Beyond:

The update's centerpiece is the addition of Mount Olympus, a stunning new region brimming with challenges and rewards. Players will encounter:

• A New Weapon: Master the otherworldly Xinth, the Black Coat – the final Nocturnal Arm.
• New Allies: Forge alliances with two fresh characters, each offering unique benefits and storylines.
• New Familiars: Discover two adorable new animal companions to join your adventure.
• Crossroads Revamp: Customize the Crossroads with dozens of new cosmetic items.
• Expanded Narrative: Immerse yourself in hours of new dialogue, deepening the game's compelling plot.
• Enhanced World Map: Navigate the expanded world with a redesigned, more intuitive world map.
• Mac Support: Hades 2 now runs natively on Apple silicon Macs (M1 and later).

Melinoe and Enemies Enhanced:

This update doesn't just add content; it refines existing mechanics. Melinoe, the protagonist, receives enhancements to her dash and abilities, offering greater responsiveness and control. However, the increased challenge is matched by adjustments to existing enemies:

• Enemy Overhaul: Numerous enemies, including Chronos, Eris, Infernal Beasts, Polyphemus, Charybdis, and Headmistress Hecate, have received significant adjustments to their attacks and behaviors, creating a more dynamic and balanced combat experience. Ranged enemy attacks have also been rebalanced for smoother gameplay.

The Olympic Update significantly expands Hades 2's already robust content, adding hours of replayability and solidifying its position as a leading roguelike. With the full release slated for next year, this update is a strong indicator of the exciting adventures yet to come.
