Hades 2 is officially in early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, meaning anyone on PC can enjoy Supergiant's latest adventure. Along with the shadow drop, however, the developers have also confirmed that this game is already bigger than its predecessor, even though it's still far from finished.

Much like it did with the original Hades in 2018, Supergiant Games has released Hades 2 into early access today in an effort to gather more player feedback and improve the game over time using that data. According to the team, Hades 2 was designed "from the ground up" to go through early access and will only get better with time. As a result, the game is currently planned to remain in this testing phase "until at least late 2024," with no specific timeframe for a full release or additional updates confirmed.

Even with the early access launch, Supergiant has confirmed that Hades 2 already has more content than the original game. That means there are more environments, enemies, voiced characters, and other content available to enjoy, though the team has confirmed that "key areas, characters, enemies, narrative events, and systems are still to come."

"We've been actively working on the game for over three years," Supergiant said on Steam. "For our Early Access launch, we wanted Hades 2 to be far enough along that as many players as possible could have a good experience right away, but not so far along that it would be too late in development to take action based on the feedback we receive."
