Hades 2 is set to come to consoles, including hopefully PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. But it’s still too soon to know for sure which consoles it will be on and when. Right now, it’s only available in early access on PC.
It’s a bit disappointing that it’s not on consoles yet, but Supergiant, the game’s developer, has promised that they plan to bring it to other platforms. They’re just not sure which ones yet. We’re still waiting for more details about when Hades 2 will be available on consoles.
Hades 2 Release Date PS5
We think Hades 2 will come out around March 2025 because the early access version is out now. This guess is based on how long it took for the first Hades game to go from early access to full release—it was about 22 months.
In September 2023, Supergiant, the company behind the game, said that Hades 2 will have as much stuff in early access as the first game did when it first came out. That’s why Hades 2 isn’t available in early access yet. Even though the team wants to release it early, they need more time to make sure there’s enough cool stuff in the game.
Like the first game, we think Hades 2 will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. But the console versions might come out later, like they did with the original Hades.
Hades 2 Story
In Hades 2, players control Melinoë, who is Hades’ daughter and Zagreus’ sister from the first game. The big bad guy this time is Cronos, a titan who escapes from the Underworld to get back at the gods of Olympus who locked him up.
Now, Cronos is a mix of two Greek characters: the titan Cronos, who is Zeus and Hades’ dad, and Chronos, who represents time. Greeks often thought these two were the same. It’s a bit confusing!
The game takes place in the Underworld again but with new places, scarier enemies, and more excitement.
Even if you didn’t play the first Hades game, you can still enjoy Hades 2. But there will be lots of nods to the first game for fans. Supergiant, the company behind the game, promises even more Greek mythology and culture to make the world feel rich and exciting.
We don’t know a ton about Hades 2 yet, but from the trailer, it seems like the gameplay will be similar to the first one. It’s still a roguelike game with an overhead view. It looks like the Boons system is back, but this time, a new set of gods will give you power-ups.
Melinoë, the main character, focuses more on magic during fights compared to Zagreus. Supergiant calls her “an immortal witch and sorceress” with powerful magic skills and deadly weapons. You can see her magic in the trailer, especially when she fights Hecate and in the gameplay.
Hades 2 Trailer
The first and only trailer for Hades 2 was revealed during The Game Awards 2022. It starts with an animated scene showing Melinoë, the main character, battling Hecate, a Greek goddess known for witchcraft.
Hecate seems to be guiding Melinoë in some way. After Melinoë loses to Hecate, they both say “Death to Cronos,” talking about Cronos, the big boss of the Titans in Greek stories, who is also Zeus and Hades’ dad.
In the second part of the trailer, we see gameplay footage, showing new places players can explore.
It also introduces some gods players will meet, like Apollo, Nemesis, and Moros, who is Nyx’s son. The trailer ends with a picture of Hades, the god of the Underworld, in chains, warning about Cronos. Melinoë promises to save him.
