During the Direct, Hades II revealed a splashy new animated trailer, reminiscent of the first Hades trailer. It features Melinoë, Hades II’s protagonist and sister to Zagreus, the prince of hell who spent the first game trying to escape it. This time, Melinoë isn’t trying to leave hell, but break in to deal death to her grandfather, the god of time Chronos. As in Hades, Melinoë is aided in her quest by the gods, heroes of mythology, and the death-dealing power of her own two hands.
Hades II has been in early access on PC for a little over a year now. The game has undergone several chunky updates, slowly adding new content and weapons in the lead-up to its full release. According to the Direct, Hades II will launch on Switch, Switch 2, and PC on September 25th with a physical release launching in November. No word yet on when it’ll come to Xbox and PlayStation.
