I’m sorry, is {that a} jetpack? Hades 2’s first main replace is stay and I’m fairly positive that is a jetpack within the trailer. Supergiant Games calls it the “Black Coat” however that is a jetpack with big metallic fists, which is 2 legs away from a mech.
The Olympic Update is out right now and together with the brand new jetpack weapon is a whole record of updates to the roguelike motion RPG, together with a brand new area, boss struggle, and round 2,500 new voice traces. If Hades 2 weren’t in early entry we would name this an enlargement, but it surely’s only one the free main updates rounding out the sport earlier than it totally releases subsequent yr.
Supergiant is making it actually exhausting to attend for the total Hades 2 when there’s already a lot stuff to do already. Even minor issues, like the power to brighten the Crossroads, your woodsy predominant hub, are in there now. Like I mentioned when it debuted earlier this yr: If you need extra Hades, simply play Hades 2 proper now. Supergiant made a pledge to do its finest to protect your saves all the best way to launch so there’s actually no threat.
There are lots of bullet factors to undergo within the patch notes, however a couple of standouts embrace:
- A brand new area for the different half of the sport (no spoilers!)
- A brand new jetpack weapon known as the Black Coat
- A brand new possibility to brighten the Crossroads
- New characters and tons of recent dialogue
- New animal familiars
- Lots of recent music
- A brand new capability to save lots of Arcana card setups
- A handful of recent boons to play with
A fast CTRL F for “new” offers me round 98 entries and nearly all of them are legitimately new issues. Hades 2 might be going to really feel like a special sport in case you’re like me and have not jumped in since across the time it dropped.
The roadmap for Hades 2’s future on the primary menu has additionally been renovated. Supergiant notes that the following replace will not take so long as this one and needs to be out early subsequent yr.
