Hades 2 gets major update with new weapons, region and characters

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement as Hades II unveils its major update. The tantalizing prospect of soaring through Olympus with a jetpack has me reminiscing about Kratos’ aerial escapades, albeit with a touch more finesse and less Spartan rage.

The initial significant update for Hades II has been declared and is now accessible. Alongside the introduction of fresh characters and skills, players now have the ability to soar to Olympus using a jetpack.

With the latest upgrade, we now have a fresh area to delve into – the long-awaited realm of Olympus, the divine mountain of the gods. As per the patch details, it appears that we are destined to “rescue” this sacred place.

In addition to encountering fresh obstacles along our path, we’ll also find ourselves in the presence of new deities and their divine favor. The god Dionysus, who represents wine, revelry, and ecstasy, will join us on our expedition, and Athena, the goddess revered for her wisdom and martial prowess, will bestow upon us favorable advantages with her blessing.

To aid us in overcoming the fresh obstacles, the creators have additionally equipped us with an innovative tool. The Black Coat, encompassing two mechanized gloves and a rocket pack, is not just capable of packing a powerful punch, but also launching homing missiles. Although it seems unconventional for this setting, it harmoniously fits within the Hades visual aesthetic.

Other additions feature the introduction of not one but two new companions, who join you on your journey and with whom you can grow closer over time. Additionally, there are approximately a dozen fresh fashion accessories to earn.

Hades 2 is currently in Early Access on PC. There is no set date for the full release.
