About the Game
Hades II shifts the spotlight from Zagreus to his sister Melinoë, princess of the underworld. In the sequel she faces Chronos, the Titan of Time and Hades’ father. The 1.0 release promises the full, finished experience, including the true ending.
Notes
Only the Switch versions were shown during the Nintendo Direct, but Supergiant and other sources confirm simultaneous PC/Mac availability. The sequel is expected to follow a similar console timing strategy as the original Hades (timed exclusivity on Nintendo hardware is possible).
