Olympus-Sized Hades 2 Update Adds New Weapon, Explorable Region, And Adorable Familiars
As development continues on Hades 2, Supergiant Games has released its first major update for the roguelite adventure. In addition to general fine-tuning and tweaks to the gameplay, the Olympic Update also adds in a ton of new gameplay content, like a new region to explore, a brand-new weapon to master, more characters to meet, new decorations, and best of all, new animal familiars to bond with. On top of that, there's also more artwork to gawk at and new music tracks to listen to, making this a hefty expansion of the game during its early access journey.
The new location--which we're not spoiling here--will take players to the peak of the Hades 2 world, while the last of the Nocturnal Arms can be unlocked for Melinoe's arsenal. This weapon--another part of the game we're not spoiling--sounds like it'll require quick reflexes to master as Supergiant teased that players will be able to guard and retaliate with powerful attacks when using it.
Other updates in the weapons department include a reworked special attack for the Witch's Staff, a deadlier Moonstone Axe that sacrifices its blocking ability for a powerful rising slash attack, and projectiles from Umbral Flames that will spin left or right depending on your movement. Overall, weapons are going to be even more powerful with all the changes that Supergiant is making in this update.
