Supergiant Games has unleashed the highly anticipated Olympic Update for Hades 2, promising significant improvements based on player feedback. This substantial update introduces a wealth of new content, including a stunning new region, powerful weapons, additional characters, charming animal familiars, and much more!

Key highlights of this expansive update include:

• New Region: Mount Olympus: Explore the legendary home of the gods, and face the challenge of saving it.
• New Weapon: Xinth, the Black Coat: Master the otherworldly power of this Nocturnal Arm.
• New Characters & Familiars: Forge alliances with two new allies and bond with two new animal companions.
• Crossroads Revamp: Customize your Crossroads with dozens of new cosmetic items.
• Expanded Narrative: Immerse yourself in hours of new dialogue as the story unfolds.
• Enhanced World Map: Navigate the game world with a refined map presentation.
• Mac Support (Native): Hades 2 now runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and later).

Currently in early access, Hades 2 has already garnered praise for its replayability and rich content. The Olympic Update further expands upon this, adding considerable playtime with new dialogue and storylines. The addition of Olympus, the mythical realm of the Greek gods and Zeus's throne, promises to significantly elevate the game's intensity.

The update also includes significant reworks to Melinoe's abilities and several Nocturnal Arms (Witch's Staff Specials, Sister Blades, Umbral Flames, and Moonstone Axe), enhancing her adaptability. Her dash has been improved for increased speed and responsiveness. However, these improvements are matched by enhancements to enemies and challenges.

• Chronos: Reduced downtime between phases; minor adjustments.
• Eris: Various adjustments; no longer prone to standing in flames.
• Infernal Beast: Resurfaces sooner after the first phase; minor adjustments.
• Polyphemus: No longer summons Elite foes; minor adjustments.
