Hades II announced for Nintendo Switch 2 by Supergiant Games
During the recent Nintendo Direct presentation, Greg Kasavin at Supergiant Games announced the upcoming Hades II port for Nintendo Switch 2. The creative director is joined by Amir Rao and Darren Korb in the Creator's Voice behind-the-scenes video streaming on the Nintendo YouTube channel.

Rooted in Greek myth, the direct sequel builds on the roguelike action role-playing gameplay of the original. Princess of the Underworld Melinoë, sister of Hades protagonist Zagreus, invokes the assistance of fully-voiced Olympian Gods in a bid to defeat Chronos, the Titan of Time. Hades II is also in development for the Nintendo Switch console.


Supergiant Games recently launched the Warsong Update of the Early Access build, available for Windows and Mac through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Original Soundtrack by composer Darren Korb is published through Steam and the Epic Games Store. A "Singles Playlist" is streaming on YouTube Music.

The musician is collaborating with Journey composer Austin Wintory on "new, massively orchestral music." Warsong Update introduces new music tracks "Winged Apprentice," "Moonlight Guide Us, "Mother of All Storms," and "Father of All Monsters."

The digital soundtrack features vocals by Erin Yvette, Ashley Barrett and Judy Alice Lee, with saxophone by Sam Gendel and flute performed by Josh Plotner. Mastering is by Hans DeKline. Hades II is verified for use with the Steam Deck.


From the product page:
As the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you'll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the forces of the Titan of Time with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment.
