What is the current state of the Early Access version?
Hades II in Early Access already has more environments, foes, and fully-voiced characters than the full version of the original Hades game. But it isn't complete, and key areas, characters, foes, narrative events, and systems are still to come.

You may reach certain points in the game where it becomes clear that you've reached the end of the current content. Furthermore, various interface screens, HUD icons, and character art are still temporary or work-in-progress, along with various other aspects of the presentation.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
Depending on the duration of Early Access and the scope of additional content we add to Hades II over time, we may raise the retail price at a later point.

Beetje vreemde comparison als het origineel exclusief uit kwam destijds op EGS. Ik kan mij nog wel herinneren dat ik vlak na launch de game voor zo'n 5 euro heb gekocht. En ik zal vast niet de enige zijn.

Early Access Patch 1 Notes
Here's our first patch in Early Access
!! We're very grateful for all the feedback so far, which inspired this first set of targeted improvements and fixes. Next, we'll be working on a patch with balance changes and additional improvements based on what we've observed. Thank you for playing!

Note:
📢 indicates a change inspired by community feedback! (Almost everything in this case...!)


General Gameplay
📢 Your Sprint
is innately faster and turning is more responsive; re-scaled abilities that boost this
📢 You now can Dash
out of many attack recovery animations more reliably
📢 You now can gather from any
resource point once you have unlocked the corresponding Gathering Tool
; you now can Prioritize
any available Tool in the Training Grounds to make its resources appear as often as before, while resources for Tools you do not
Prioritize will appear far less often

Altar of Ashes
📢 The Swift Runner
: now also makes your Dash immediate (note the faster speed means you are invulnerable for very slightly less time); re-scaled Sprint speed bonus since Sprint is innately faster now

Level Design & Environments
📢 It is easier to Dash across chasms in Oceanus

📢 Driftwood
resources are more common in the Rift of Thessaly


Menus & UI
📢 Using a Well of Charon
displays your current Gold
without the need to check your Boon Info

📢 The Grasp
Upgrade Tutorial in the Altar of Ashes
will repeat if ignored
📢 Added Patch Notes
option to the Main Menu (where you can read this!)


Miscellaneous
📢 Early encounters with Eris
are less likely to occur; she also drops something of value...
📢 Related, if this already occurred, look for a one-time bonus in the Crossroads
while Eris
is present
📢 Entries in the Book of Shadows
are generally easier to reveal
📢 You can gift Echo
without having to wait around as long after conversing
📢 Adjusted Animal Familiar
upgrades invalidated by the Gathering Tool
changes above
📢 In the Hades
Flashback, a hint will eventually play for players who don't realize they are in control
📢 Improved mouse selection in various cases
📢 Improved support for some additional controllers
• Abilities that boost Sprint speed display more-accurate numbers (generally lower than before)

• Updates and fixes to translations in some languages

Bug Fixes
📢 Fixed several issues with Dark Side (Selene)

📢 Fixed Sun Worshiper (Apollo)
sometimes preventing new foes from spawning
📢 Fixed Fire Extinguisher (Hestia)
not dealing damage as expected
📢 Fixed Sister Blades Omega Attack
not hitting Chronos
reliably from certain angles
📢 Fixed Satyr Hoplites
retaining the ability to block while afflicted with Twilight Curse (Selene)

📢 Fixed various cases of foes sometimes spawning out of bounds
📢 Fixed camera zoom-in getting stuck vs. Polyphemus
in certain situations
📢 Fixed cases where you could Dash out of bounds in the Crossroads

📢 Fixed Fishing Pier events in the Crossroads
not passing Whiles like other similar events
📢 Fixed autolock not clearing as expected while using mouse controls
📢 Fixed keyboard inputs sometimes getting stuck unexpectedly
📢 Fixed several input issues switching from gamepad to mouse-and-keyboard controls
📢 Fixed several issues playing in ultrawide resolutions
📢 Fixed some visual effects vs. Chronos
lingering between phases or after the fight
📢 Fixed a Melinoë voice line repeating unexpectedly around the City of Ephyra Bat Cages

📢 Fixed various rare crashes
📢 Fixed several text errors
📢 Other minor fixes

Quote of the Patch
'...now plain to the eye, now shadowy, now shining in the darkness—

all this in unnerving attacks in the gloom of night.'

~The Orphic Hymns, 71: To Melinoë
(Anonymous; A. Athanassakis translation)

Deel 1 (nog) niet gespeeld, staat wel ergens op een verlanglijstje. Is die niet op Gamepass? Vanavond eens kijken. Speel dit jaar behoorlijk veel uit (voor mijn gevoel), heb ik dan eindelijk de smaak te pakken?
