Hades 2 Release Date: Developer Insights

The highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed dungeon crawler *Hades*, *Hades II*, is making waves with its early access version released in 2024 by Supergiant Games. Fans are eager to know when they can expect the full game to launch and what the developers have hinted about the release. Here's a comprehensive look at what we know so far.

Hades II Full Release Estimate

*Hades II* entered early access for PC users on May 6, 2024, through Steam and the Epic Games Store, with an early access launch for macOS users following on October 16, 2024, accompanied by a significant content update. The most recent update for early access players was on February 19, 2025. Console players, however, will have to wait until the full launch to get their hands on the game. Supergiant Games plans to use the feedback gathered during the extended early access period to refine the game before its official release.

Considering the timeline and the feedback from the February 2025 update, a full launch for *Hades II* is projected for Q2 2025, spanning April to June. An April release seems unlikely due to the short timeframe for Supergiant to implement changes based on the latest feedback. A May 2025 release, marking a full year since the early access began, appears more feasible, allowing the developers ample time to incorporate player feedback effectively.

Even in its early access stage, *Hades II* is showing promising signs of being a worthy sequel that meets the high expectations set by its predecessor. With the game's development still ongoing, the community is buzzing with anticipation for the full release, expected sometime in 2025. An official announcement regarding the release date seems imminent, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

Hades II Release Developer Insight

Development of *Hades II* kicked off in early 2021, with the return of most of the original game's production team and voice cast. Since then, Supergiant Games has kept relatively quiet about the full release date, allowing players to experience the game's progress through early access. The last major press push came around the time of the technical test and initial early access launch in April and May 2024, after which the team shifted their focus back to development rather than promotion.

In interviews with outlets like Game Informer around May 2024, Supergiant Games expressed their desire to preserve the core elements that made *Hades* a success while introducing new characters and features, including the new protagonist Melinoë, to keep the sequel fresh and engaging. As fans eagerly await the full release of *Hades II*, the excitement for more dungeon-crawling adventures continues to build.
