The immensely popular dungeon crawler, Hades, is getting a highly anticipated sequel from Supergiant Games. With Hades II currently in early access, many are wondering when the full game will launch. Let's explore what we know so far.
Hades II Full Release Estimate
Hades II entered early access on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) on May 6, 2024, followed by a macOS release on October 16, 2024, alongside a significant content update. Another substantial update arrived on February 19, 2025. Console players will need to wait for the full release. Supergiant Games is using this extended early access period to gather data and refine the game before its official launch.
Considering the February 2025 update and the time needed for Supergiant Games to process feedback, a full launch could occur as early as Q2 2025 (April-June). An April release seems unlikely, leaving May 2025 as a more realistic possibility, marking a year since early access began.
Even in its unfinished state, Hades II’s early access demonstrates a strong sequel, living up to the original's high standards. A 2025 release is widely expected; the question is precisely when. An official announcement regarding the release date is anticipated soon.
Hades II Release: Developer Insight
Development on Hades II started in early 2021, with many members of the original game's team and voice cast returning. Supergiant Games has remained relatively quiet about the full release date, preferring to let players experience the early access progress. Their last major press push was around the technical test and initial early access launch in April/May 2024, shifting focus back to development afterward.
In interviews around May 2024 (with outlets like Game Informer), Supergiant Games indicated their intention to maintain the core elements of the first game while introducing new characters and features, such as the protagonist Melinoë, to ensure a fresh experience. Fans eagerly await the full release of Hades II.
