Hades 2's Olympic Update: Conquering Olympus

Enhanced Melinoe & Fiercer Foes

Key features of this monumental update include:

• New Region: Mount Olympus: Ascend to the home of the gods and face a new challenge to save Olympus itself.
• New Weapon: Xinth, the Black Coat: Master the power of this otherworldly 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: Delve into hours of new dialogue as the story unfolds in the new region.
• Enhanced World Map: Experience a refined presentation when traveling between regions.
• Mac Support (Native): Hades 2 now runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and later).

Currently in early access (PC), Hades 2 has already garnered praise for its replayability and substantial content. This update further expands the game's offerings, adding significant gameplay hours and enriching the narrative. The arrival of Olympus, the legendary home of the Greek gods, promises to raise the stakes considerably.

The update also includes significant refinements. Melinoe's abilities, including Witch's Staff Specials, Sister Blades, Umbral Flames, and Moonstone Axe, have been reworked for improved responsiveness. Her dash is now faster and more effective for escaping attacks. However, these improvements are balanced by enhanced enemy encounters.

Mount Olympus brings a host of new enemies, including formidable Wardens and a powerful Guardian. Existing Surface enemies have also received adjustments:

• Chronos: Reduced downtime between phases; minor adjustments.
• Eris: Various adjustments; no longer prone to standing in flames.
• Infernal Beast: Resurfaces quicker after the first phase; minor adjustments.
• Polyphemus: No longer summons Elite foes; other minor adjustments.
• Charybdis: Fewer phases; more intense attacks and reduced downtime.
• Headmistress Hecate: Loses invulnerability sooner after her Sisters are defeated.
• Ranged Enemies: Fewer simultaneous attacks.
• Numerous other minor enemy and combat adjustments.

The full release of Hades 2, along with console versions, is anticipated next year.
