Supergiant Games, the company behind Bastion and Transistor, has announced that Hades II will be launching into Early Access in Q2 of 2024 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

However, the exact date as to when the Early Access will be available has yet to be revealed.

The announcement was made in a development update blog where the devs go into more detail about the Early Access.

“You may be wondering, why can’t we launch in Early Access, like, right now?! The game looked pretty far along in the first trailer,”

“The reason is, Hades II will have at least as much content from day one in Early Access as the original game did back when it launched in Early Access on Steam.”

“And, even though Early Access inherently means a game is not yet complete, we still want to do everything we can to make sure Hades II is worth your while as soon as you can play it in any capacity.” Supergiant writes in the development blog.

Additionally, the devs plan on holding a technical test with a limited sample of players, where it aims to find and solve any technical or compatibility issues it might have missed to ensure players trying out the game in Early Access can have a smooth experience.

Hades II was announced by Supergiant Games during The Game Awards 2023 back in December of last year, with plans of launching the game into Early Access.
