Hades II Release Date — When Can You Play?

Hades II launched into Early Access on Steam in May 2024. Supergiant Games has committed to a thorough Early Access period, with major content updates rolling out before the full 1.0 release.

The official hades 2 release date for Early Access was May 6, 2024, giving players immediate access to the first major region, the Crossroads hub area, and a substantial set of weapons and boons. This initial hades 2 release date marked the first time Supergiant opened early access for any of their titles, reflecting the scale and ambition of the project.

Supergiant has been transparent that no firm full-release hades 2 release date has been set. The studio plans to keep the game in Early Access for at least through late 2024 and likely into 2025, using player feedback to polish balance, add the full Olympic update content, and refine the narrative across all biomes.

While waiting for the full hades 2 release date, you can dive into the Hades II Beginner Guide to master Melinoë's arsenal, or check the Hades II Price & Editions page to see what's included in each tier. Make sure your rig is ready by reviewing the Hades II System Requirements before the full launch.

FAQ

When is the full Hades II release date?
Supergiant Games has not announced a specific full-release date for Hades II. The game entered Early Access in May 2024 and the studio has indicated it will remain in Early Access for a substantial period — likely through 2024 and into 2025 — to incorporate community feedback, add the complete Olympic pantheon of boons, and deliver all biomes and the full story ending.
Will the Hades II release date be the same on all platforms?
No. The Early Access release date only applied to PC via Steam. Console versions for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch will launch later, likely around or after the full 1.0 release. Supergiant has confirmed console versions are planned but has not given specific dates for those platforms.
