Heracles can easily fill in the same niche as Theseus though

I always hoped they’d do an Elysium DLC that let you fight other Greek heroes in the arena as bonus bosses. Heracles is ideal bonus boss material.

Would be hilarious if the fan reaction to the Underworld siblings changed the game's plot.

"We planned for Zagreus to be dead, but our creative vision was defeated by the memes."

Edit: love how almost all the art posted so far is roughs or draft material, cause like yous said, it been a day.

Hades puts Zagreus in charge of Underworld security and then Chronos breaks free.

I didn't know I needed bearded Zagreus, but it's so obvious in hindsight.

His sister also has a really badass visual design. I can't wait to slaughter monsters left and right with her.

Isn't there a god mode that significantly easier? The story and characters alone are worth experiencing imho, even if you can't really participate in the combat.

There is but I thought the combat was super fun.

You're right though, I need to suck it up and enable that thing to finally finish it

My guess is magic. She's definitely gonna play differently than Zag which will be interesting.

From the trailer, it notes that she's going down so it may be a non-zero chunk of levels will be above ground before actually entering Hades and descending to wherever grandpa Kronos is.

I was so sure that Hades 2 wouldn't be the next game they made, that I'm actually feeling a little weird about it?

Like I had already gotten over my disappointment about no more Hades, and consoled myself with "well, whatever they do next will be original and probably awesome". So now I'm having to actively re-hype myself for more Hades, which was the thing I really wanted a year ago. What the heck.



I also think it was kinda not great to make this announce with a long delay before the game will be available. Hopefully 2023 means like January or February, not six months from now.

Were you playing with a controller? I think it's a lot easier on your hands. I had a friend who stopped playing Hades because it was wrecking his hands, but he was using mouse and keyboard.

I'm honestly kind of surprised that the announcement didn't conclude with "it's available in early access RIGHT NOW". The hype would see them reach their sales target in ten minutes.

A hammer is probably gonna be in the mix, or an axe, if they're trying to diversify from the first game.

Whip seems like a cool option they haven't done yet, plus you could get an Aspect of Megaera.

Have any of you restarted Hades on a fresh file? I sort of want to but I also feel the dialog was a huge part of my enjoyment the first time around and I guess I would end up just skipping it all?

You can't tell me that Hera being the saltiest person ever would not be gold. Also he's kinda implied to be a jerk I'm curious to see if they can pull it off honestly.

Than would not be happy to see him either. Though in Than's case he has a right to be angry. Well Hera too but that's more Zeus's fault than Heracles'.

He wasn't missed in the first game, but if Hera is in 2 then having Hercules around would be fun for drama purposes alone (though I guess Perseus or some other scion of Zeus could be used)

Heck, if you want drama purposes, throw in one of Zeus's mistresses.

Along those lines I'm a little sad they never got an interaction between Athena and Dusa into Hades 1 somehow.

Went back and did a very simple clear to celebrate, trying to incorporate a lot of cast stuff into the build in honor of our baby sister. Good to see that even though I'm terribly rusty, all the accumulated bonuses and burning the controls and reflexes into my brain enough means that a 0 Heat clear basically poses no challenge at this point.
