The highly anticipated sequel to the beloved dungeon crawler, *Hades*, is on the horizon with *Hades II* from Supergiant Games. Following an early access release in 2024, fans are eager to know when the full game will be available and what insights the developers have shared about its launch.

Hades II Full Release Estimate

*Hades II* entered early access for PC users on May 6, 2024, via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and later for macOS users on October 16, 2024, accompanied by a significant content update. The most recent update for early access players was released on February 19, 2025. Console players, however, will have to wait until the full launch to get their hands on the game. Supergiant Games plans to use the extended early access period to gather crucial feedback, which will help refine the game before its official release.

Taking into account the feedback from the February 2025 update, a full launch for *Hades II* is speculated to occur in Q2 2025, covering the months of April to June. While an April release seems unlikely due to the time required to process and implement feedback, a May 2025 release, marking a year since the early access began, appears more realistic. This timeline would allow Supergiant Games sufficient time to incorporate changes based on player feedback.

Even in its early access phase, *Hades II* is proving to be a worthy sequel that meets the high expectations set by its predecessor. The gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for the full release in 2025, and it's only a matter of time before Supergiant Games announces the official release date.

Hades II Release Developer Insight

Development on *Hades II* kicked off in early 2021, with much of the original team and voice cast returning to bring the sequel to life. Supergiant Games has been relatively quiet about the full release date, preferring to let players experience the game's evolution through early access. The last major press event was around the technical test and initial early access launch in April and May 2024, after which the team shifted focus back to development.

In discussions with outlets like Game Informer in May 2024, Supergiant Games expressed their intent to preserve the core elements that made the first game a success while introducing fresh characters and elements, such as the new protagonist Melinoë. This approach aims to keep the experience both familiar and exciting for fans. As the community eagerly awaits the full release of *Hades II*, the anticipation for more dungeon-crawling adventures continues to build.
