Hades 2 Nears Full Release with the Unseen Update

Gosh, Tuesday was… kind of a big deal, if you’re into Hades 2. Supergiant Games decided to drop this monster update — The Unseen Update (dramatic, right?). So, they’re basically saying, “Hey, we’re in the home stretch for the big 1.0 release.”

This update’s all about beefing up battles and relationships. New weapon styles? Yep, more story bits? Check. It’s like they took the game out for a makeover and came back with a new haircut and outfit, ready to slay. There’s a detailed patch note spiel on Steam if you’re into that kind of thing, or you can sit back and have someone read them to you. Imagine it with a Shakespearean flair or something… could be fun?

Now, here’s the kicker: no big updates after this, except for squashing bugs. They’re saying, “Sorry folks, no new worlds, no new powers.” The developers are super busy, heads down, working on the grand finale for Hades 2 and adding some achievements. Basically, they’re putting all their energy into tying up those loose ends and making sure everything’s shiny for the final show.

Launch in early access happened way back in May 2024. But when’s the full release? Ah, the mystery! They’re not saying, which is a bit of a nail-biter, honestly. I guess we’re all supposed to sit here, twiddling our thumbs, getting all excited about sharing “the complete experience” someday. Who’s counting days anyway?

Oh, and where’s it gonna be, this mythical v1.0? Windows PC already has it on early access, but for console peeps, it’s coming first to Nintendo Switch and the hypothetically named Nintendo Switch 2. Can’t you almost feel the thrill of exclusivity?

Just like the good old Olympic and Warsong updates — if you remember those — this new update’s free for folks who’re already dancing around in Hades 2 early access.

Here’s what you’d wanna know: brace yourself for a more epic Hades II, whatever that means.
