Synopsis of Hades 2:

"As Melinoe, the immortal princess of the underworld, you'll explore a larger, deeper mythical world, defeating the forces of the Titan with all the power of Olympus behind you, in an extended story that unfolds continuously through each of your setbacks and achievements. New locations, challenges, upgrade systems and surprises await you as you plunge again and again into this ever-changing underground world."

As far as the story of this new opus is concerned, note that the brand-new hero - in this case Zagreus' sister - is also inspired by Greek mythology (stemming from Orphism, a religious current of Greek worship as we know it), Melinoé being, as the developers explain on their site, based on"an ancient subterranean deity" - goddess of ghosts and nightmares, to be precise - and potentially linked to Hades. We learn that she'll be taking a trip to the underworld to kill Cronos, son of Ouranos and Gaia, Titan and father of Zeus.

Trailer for Hades 2:

Gameplay as intense as the first installment, but with new features

In terms of gameplay, Supergiant Games intends to offer plenty of great things, starting with virtually unlimited weapon customization, with "bonuses" that the gods of Olympus might grant you. Challenges are also planned, as well as new areas to explore, so as not to bore gamers who have already played the first opus.

A game that was also set to feature voice acting for several characters, tapping into what players praised in the original Hades. In the meantime, shall we dive back into the first installment, friends?
