Hades II

Hades II is a third-person action roguelite (each death resets the run, but progress accumulates) where you control Melinoë, a princess of the Underworld and the sister of Zagreus from the first game. Training in dark magic at the Crossroads camp under Hecate, she moves toward a single goal: to destroy Chronos, the Titan of Time, who has enslaved Hades and all the Olympians.

Choose one of six Nocturnal Arms: Witch's Staff (a staff with ranged attacks), Sister Blades (paired daggers for fast melee combat), Moonstone Axe (a slow axe with high damage), Umbral Flames (fire casting attacks), Argent Skull (thrown grenades) or the secret Black Coat. Two paths open for the run: the Underworld path through Erebus, Oceanus and Tartarus, and the Surface path through Ephyra, Rift of Thessaly and Summit, each with its own distinctive enemies and bosses.

Every run builds permanent progress: Boon powers from the Olympians (Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hephaestus), upgrades through the Mirror of Night and a new resource, Magick, for brewing potions at the Crossroads. Compared with Hades I, the game adds surface biomes with a distinctive ecosystem and a potion-brewing mechanic.

The game reached its full release on September 25, 2025, and immediately became the top PC game of 2025 on Metacritic (94 points). On Steam it has more than 64 thousand reviews, 96% of them positive, and peak online reached 112,947 players in the first week.

Russian subtitles and interface have been officially supported since release. The voice acting is the original English: Supergiant Games traditionally releases all of its games only with EN voice.
