Supergiant Games is setting a stellar example of how early access games should be maintained with the release of the second major update for Hades II, aptly named Warsong. The update comes with an extensive list of changes, making the full changelog a lengthy read—yet, it pales in comparison to the massive 1,700 fixes included in the latest patch for STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
In addition to the update, Supergiant has enriched Hades II with over 2,000 new voice lines, fresh music tracks, and more expansive character interactions. Players can now engage with Ares, the God of War, as well as a new familiar, enhancing the game's depth and appeal. The update also brings a plethora of quality-of-life improvements, enhancements, and bug fixes, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.
A notable aspect of the changelog is its inclusion of specific changes suggested by the game's regular players. While it may seem like a minor detail, this approach is a powerful testament to Supergiant's commitment to valuing and incorporating player feedback into their development process.
Looking ahead, fans can anticipate the third major update in the spring, although it's still premature to discuss a full release date. Supergiant's dedication to continuous improvement and community engagement is evident, promising an exciting future for Hades II.
