Hades II

A more ambitious sequel

Developed and published by Supergiant Games, Hades II reached version 1.0 on 25 September 2025 on PC, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, after a period of early access. You play Melinoë, who battles the Titan of Time across repeated runs, combining weapons, god-given powers and progression between attempts.

What the press says

GamingBolt praises an outstanding cast and voice acting, richer weapons and combat mechanics, regions that are a joy to explore, the art direction and music, calling it the studio’s best work; it notes some returning characters get less focus. GamesRadar+ finds the combat impeccable and the characterisation flawless, enough to surpass the first game, while noting a mid-game lull tied to the larger scope. GameGrin (10/10) says it doubles the first game’s content with a fuller, slightly more serious story and more viable weapons; Screen Rant (10/10) calls it a surefire classic; Eurogamer.de (5/5), which tested it on PC and Steam Deck, finds it gorgeous, punchy and “incredibly motivating”.

Platforms and prices

On 11 November 2026 Hades II costs €28.99 on Steam (PC and Mac) and €29.99 on the French Nintendo eShop, for Switch and for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition; the eShop also lists a free upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition. Steam lists French interface and subtitles, with English voice-over.

Who is it for?

Fans of fast action and roguelites who don’t mind replaying runs to progress, and players of the first Hades.
