Supergiant Games is setting a stellar example of how to manage early access games with the release of the second major update for Hades II, titled Warsong. This update brings a comprehensive list of changes, making the full changelog a lengthy read—although it pales in comparison to the 1,700 fixes included in the recent STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl patch.
In addition to the extensive updates, the developers have enriched the game with over 2,000 new voice lines, fresh music tracks, and enhanced character interactions. Players can now engage with Ares, the God of War, as well as a new familiar. The update also introduces a variety of quality-of-life improvements, enhancements, and bug fixes, all designed to elevate the gaming experience.
A noteworthy aspect of the changelog is its inclusion of changes specifically requested by the community. This might appear as a minor detail, but it's a significant gesture that underscores the importance of player feedback in the development process.
Looking ahead, Supergiant has announced that the third major update for Hades II is slated for spring. While it's premature to discuss a full release date, this roadmap keeps the community engaged and excited about what's to come.
