Hades II v1.0 is out — Early Access is officially done

Supergiant Games has officially launched Hades II v1.0, wrapping up Early Access and releasing the full game to everyone. Whether you've been running the Underworld since Early Access kicked off or this is your first time, the doors are open.

Hades II is a roguelike dungeon crawler where you play as the immortal Princess of the Underworld, fighting through Greek myth's Underworld using dark sorcery to take down the Titan of Time — with the full backing of Olympus. The full release brings new locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and story beats that unfold across every run. Alongside v1.0, Supergiant has also completed the Hades II Original Soundtrack, composed by Darren Korb — clocking in at just under four hours of music. It's available on Steam or free to stream on the studio's YouTube channel.

Development on Hades II ran for more than four and a half years in total, with roughly a year and a half spent in Early Access. Supergiant says the Early Access model was foundational to the original Hades and proved just as important here, shaping the final game through player feedback. This is the studio's first-ever sequel since founding in 2009.

Supergiant signed off the announcement with a thank-you to the community and a nudge to dive back in — or in for the first time.
