Hades 2 gods somehow even hotter than Hades gods

The technical test for Hades 2 has barely begun, but first-looks at the game have already set feeds on fire. Supergiant Games released a version of the game to a limited number of players on Wednesday. But instead of keeping details of those playthroughs under wraps, the developers busted the doors to its mythical underworld wide open and streamed roughly three hours of gameplay on its official YouTube channel. Now, everyone has gotten their first big look at the game and social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) have become the worshipping grounds for all of the game’s sexy Greek gods.

Sure, yeah, the stream showed other important details like new gameplay and a deeper look at some of the new dungeons, but the characters really stole the show. Just like in the original game Hades, Hades 2 features a large cast of character inspired by Greek mythology all rendered in a stunning digitally painted art style. As the Princess of the Underworld, Melinoë, makes her way through the various dungeons, she will bump into and chat with its various eclectic characters.

Some characters have gotten full on redesigns, while other screenshots revealed new characters. The main takeaway: the developers delivered! The team put Aphrodite in what I would describe as a “lore-correct” outfit that has her tiddies out and basically clothes her with her hair. There are armored muscle mommies and as well and more mysterious characters, like the moon-bathed Selene. Clearly, no one is able to be normal about just how great everyone looks because every feed is filled with people sharing images of the new characters and redesigns. You can see Artemis, Hestia, Mel, and Selene embedded below.

Does this count as the kind of “technical” feedback Supergiant was looking for? Playing the game has resulted in bizarre behavior where all fans can do after playing the game is post screenshots of its characters. I’m not sure if that’s an issue the development team can actually fix, but these are the results of the test.

Regardless, if you too have suddenly taken an interest in the Greek mythology of Hades 2, good news: the game is still on track to come out in early access this spring.
