Hades 2 Edges Toward Full Release with the Unseen Update

Alright, so here we go. It’s, like, Tuesday or something, and Supergiant Games just threw out this big ol’ update for Hades 2. Not exactly sure why, but I’m kinda pumped about it. It’s like when you’re waiting for the kettle to boil, and you randomly get caught up watching the bubbles dance around. Anyway — wait, what was I talking about? Ah, yeah, Hades 2.

They’re calling it The Unseen Update. Because, I guess, you literally didn’t see it coming? Or maybe they’re just really into mysteries. It’s all about shaking up the fighting style, guardian battles, and how the characters are getting along (or not). I mean, they’ve got new ways to bash your enemies and some fresh plot twists. Can’t complain. Full patch notes are on Steam, but if you ask me, it’d be more fun to hear them read aloud by someone doing Shakespeare. Imagine that.

Supergiant’s saying that with this update done, they’re all hands on deck to finish up Hades 2 — the whole shebang. They’re talking about wrapping up the ending and throwing in some achievements. But don’t hold your breath for any mind-blowing new stuff until they’re ready to squash bugs. No new regions or abilities; the basics, you know?

So, here’s the kicker: Hades 2 has been in early access since May 2024 — no joke — and there’s no clear end in sight for its big release. But hey, the devs are buzzing about it like we are. They’re, like, “Guys, we’re almost there!” Which is cool, but vague.

Oh, and here’s the scoop on where you can get your hands on it: It’s doing its early access dance on Windows PC. When they finally drop v1.0 — whenever that is — it’ll first crash land on the Nintendo Switch and the next one — Switch 2? Nothing like a bit of exclusivity to make you feel special.

And just like their previous updates, Olympic and Warsong, The Unseen Update is totally free for you early birds. Neat, right? Supergiant just keeps giving.

Take what you will from that. Maybe I’ll go check out those bubbles again.
