Just three days after it was confirmed that a patch would be coming, Hades 2 has now received its first early access patch. It is largely based on community feedback and fixes many issues that players have encountered during their runs.
Hades – v1.0 Launch Update Patch Notes Dramatic Reading
Hades 2 Early Access Patch 1, as Supergiant Games calls it, focuses almost exclusively on implementing “targeted improvements” to multiple areas of the game where players have raised concerns. Community feedback is so integral to Hades 2’s development at this stage that the dev team is even actively noting which parts of the update were inspired by players who made their voices heard.
“Impressions posted here on Steam, our official Discord, and beyond help us gauge what everyone is thinking about the game and how that aligns with our goals,” Supergiant said when announcing the patch. “We’re also collecting anonymous gameplay data voluntarily submitted by players, which helps us identify opportunities to improve the balance of blessings, weapons, enemies, and so on. This is an ongoing process that’s just beginning.”
Hades 2 Early Access Patch 1 went live on May 16th and focused on community feedback, making collecting less frustrating and giving Melinoë a more distinctive and expressive style.
