Hades 2 Nears Full Release with the Unseen Update

Okay, so get this: Supergiant Games just popped out with this major update for Hades 2—yeah, it’s like they’re in the last lap of this wild race to the final release. I swear, it’s like they can see the finish line, almost like it’s teasing them.

They’re calling this one the Unseen Update. What a name, right? Makes me think of invisible stuff creeping about, but no, it’s more about beefing up the core combat, those Guardian face-offs, and some juicy character bonding. Yeah, not the ghostly stuff at all. The blog spills the beans, saying there are fresh fighting styles, new story bits, and all that jazz. Seriously, you could totally just read it on Steam. Or, even better, have someone with a theatrical flair narrate it for you—fun, right?

Now, since this update is out there, Supergiant’s diving headfirst into wrapping up the main game. Word is, they’re crafting a complete ending and throwing in some achievements for good measure. But hey, don’t get too pumped for more big updates. Nope, no new regions or wild abilities on the horizon. Just keeping it tidy with bug fixes now.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, Hades 2 hit early access back in May 2024. Still no full release date in sight. Typical, right? But they’re super hyped about closing this chapter and dropping the full experience on us. Like, “Hold tight, it’s coming,” kind of vibe from their message.

And, oh yeah, they’ve nailed down the launch platforms. For Windows PC folks, it’s already in early access. And when it’s out, it’ll be on Nintendo Switch and, wait for it, Nintendo Switch 2. Talk about a timely exclusive!

Remember those past gems, Olympic and Warsong updates? Free treats for everyone living the early access dream. So, naturally, The Unseen Update follows suit—won’t cost you a penny.

Quick peek at what’s inside? Supergiant’s rolling out the details, and it sounds like Hades 2 is getting juiced up. Can’t say I saw this coming, but hey, bigger and better is always welcome.
