- ABOUT THIS GAME
Battle beyond the Underworld using dark sorcery to take on the Titan of Time in this bewitching sequel to the award-winning rogue-like dungeon crawler.
The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed,
endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft. - Hry
grandma is in her ass kicking outfit. shit is going down.
Aphrodite as well!
I’d like to remind everyone that this is the same goddess who almost ended all life on earth to get her daughter back, Kronos might wanna stay in the underworld.
@@julianius484we got Aphrodite Areia
@julianius484 she brought out the old spear and warpaint
As she is also a part time goddess of war
My biggest complaint about the first game is that they didn't have Hephaestus giving Zagreus his weapon upgrades. Glad they've thought better of it in the sequel!
Yeah, like, why the literal god of crafting, metallurgy and technology isn't giving you some pretty stuff?😊
We still use daedalus hammers for weapon specific upgrades.
Perhaps Hephaestus will have boons that interact with the hammer rewards like we had for other room reward upgrades. Maybe he has a boon similar to rare crop/sunken treasure were it acts like the anvil of fates, you sacrifice one of your current hammer upgrades in exchange for another, with higher rarity giving multiple randon upgrades in exchange of only 1.
They probably ran out of either time or other resources. However it can be also explained with lore: Hephaestus does not like to mingle with other gods, as the ugly one. He prefers to be alone with his workshop. So he is pretty unlekily to help a child joining a party/social event
My biggest complaint for Hades 2 is that the main character is a girl. Suggesting that Zagreus was incapable of doing what this bich can. What a joke.
@@HelloOnepieceThat’s precisely it. He didn’t want to meddle in godly affairs too much, almost as fed up with his family’s posturing as Persephone was. He’s probably have left too, if not for Aphrodite actually loving him in this iteration of the character. And for what it’s worth, he IS regretful he didn’t pitch in; I can only guess he got to know Zag after the fact, and quite liked the young lad.
I love how Demeter remarked how pissed she was with Hecate for not telling her about Melinoe.
In the myth when Demeter went on a search for Persephone after her kidnapping, Hecate offers her some light from her torch so that Demeter can continue with her search when night falls.
WHOAAA!
The light of the Lampedes. Hecate often directed shades in the underworld that help lost souls to their rightful places, which are known by their eerie light the Lampedes.
My biggest surprised playing the first game, which I just started doing last week, is how polite Zagreus is with everyone who isn't his father. Judging by his design alone I thought he was going to be waaay more sarcastic and snarky, arrogant and swagger but from the very first time I heard him calling Sisyphus "sir" I was so pleasantly surprised. I see the apple didn't fell far
With the introduction of more “niche” deities like Moros and Selene, there really isn’t a single deity that you can write off as unlikely to appear in this game. I hope we get a BUNCH of new characters to interact with now. I especially hope we see Oneiros!
really hoping the goddess of discord and chaos ( eris ) makes an appearance!
edit: MY GIRL CAME AND IVE NEVER BEEN MORE HAPPIER OH MY GODS
@@daeity1 one of the rail aspects in the first game eas hers, and we had dialogue about her and that aspect with Thanatos, and im pretty sure Hecate mentions Eris as well, so she is likely to appear.
I hope Helios shows up. Seeing Selene gives me hope Apollo is not the sole sun deity in here.
@@unkindled6410 Yes! Maybe since Apollo is the God of Light in-game, Helios will be the God of the Sun!
@@jiggiesmalls9034 if i also remember correctly, didnt demeter mention helios? like how she blotted the sun out of complete spite or something? maybe we'll see helios in here.
Oh no they are (once again) hot.
I mean, did you expect any less???
If they weren't any hot as they were in the previous game, we finna riot! XD
FR😭
I expect nothing less
really appreciate the fact that you can still see zeus's nipples despite the fact that he's wearing an armor plate. it is vital to his character
I love how they have hooded figures for the characters that don't have designs yet, or at least not at the technical test since we do have art of Hestia now and she looks just as much of a sweet ol' granny as she sounds ❤️
Artemis once again being the best deity in Hades. If anything she seems more confident than last time.
That or her appearance is deliberately hidden until a certain point in the story
Zagreus influnced her pretty hard i guess
She’s hot now
@@uzuwi9782she is been hot already
Love how this outrider also stalk Chronos' minions here, in the lands, while other olympians defend their mountain.
Really sad that they hint Zagreus fell alongside Hades.
Let's just headcannon he went a little hard on the ambrosia the night before. Got caught off guard.
From what I understand- he was frozen in Stasis with a chunk of the household, As Chronos did not wish to 'involve' them. While a bit of a cop-out in my opinion, we have to remember that Zagreus's experience was trying to find ways to keep shades from breaking out and keep mortals fearing death, A titan that encompasses time, even with all the boons Zagreus has gained, would be too far outside his repertoire. Also, If I saw the scene correctly, he was stretched out with titan-slaying blade in hand, so he likely went down swinging.
@@joemomma2189 He fought hard but not that fast enough to reach Chronos, when Hades alerted with the jailbreak, he immediately sent Melinoe with Hecate before he makes for war preparation. Chronos however appear out of nowhere sitting on Hades's throne and the first one to strike is Zagreus while the others ready themselves for a fight only to be frozen in time by Chronos.
Maybe in the third game or whatever they're dong next we'll get to play both the siblings? Assuming that Zagreus is still around anyway.
I am soooo happy that Hestia is here. She was always my favourite goddes
Samee!
tbh im kinda disappointed that they didnt give her an actual sprite its just the recolor of charon (and even then i preferred charon in the first game he just looks better)
@@tabz906 if it is just a recolor of Charon then I am sure she will get her own sprite eventualy
@@mrfutrzaczek9127 oh thats good to hear, cant wait to see her design :)
@@tabz906 Yeah, she'll almost definitely have her own design. You just have to remember that we're still pre-Early Access.
I like how Artemis and Zagreus’s friendship transferred over to a sort of Big/Lil Sis relationship with hid sister
I hear Shenpai going feral in the distance.
She is getting closer... I can feel it...
Geez, Demeter is kitted out. Woman is ready to battle.
Her past weapon is fucking war gloves, she sure know some things about beating shit out of people and tearing them apart like in Doom under berser buff 😅
Hestia is the Goddess of the Hearth in traditional Greek myth. Making her a fire goddess is a pretty good way to connect to that.
Also a goddess of family, she is the sister every other god treasures. One of her brothers being in danger is one of the few things that would turn her to war.
It isn't a myth. They are our gods, and frown upon the non Greeks such as you.
Artemis' outfit is giving me serious Princess Mononoke vibes
A pretty cool princess imo.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it was the inspiration
I like the detail that Aphrodite and Hephaestus are here, but not Ares. Hephaestus and Ares have a tempestuous relationship due to both liking Aphrodite, so it makes sense that Ares isn’t here!
Ares probably busy right now defending Olympus
It is probably because the Aphrodite we see here is Aphrodite Areia, an aspect that encompasses both love and war, and that's why you can see Ares's mask in Aphrodite
Maybe he got trapped in a jar again?
Well, after Hephaestus & Aphrodite got their divorce finalized, the guy got hitched almost inmediatly with one of the three graces, with whom he actually had a happy marriage and even had children.
So depending on which era we're talking about, Hephaestus will be either pining and/or desiring Aphrodite (it was never known wheter he actually liked her or it was a simple show of power), being horrendously married with her or being amicable exes... since the guy did go and snatch her servant almost immediatly after the divorce only to actually have the happy marriage that the goddess of love couldn't have.
@@maximilianorousseau3799 Maybe it isn't that she can't have a happy marriage but that she simply doesn't want to be married? It's not like she got a choice in marrying Hephaestus after all.
Good glad to see there are some gods that are exclusive between the siblings.
I'm hoping for Moros romance option
Hoping that zagreus isnt dead
I don't think he can die, that's the main premise of the first game.
personally I’m kinda hoping for a Zagreus boss fight where he’s under Kronos’ control and we gotta free him
@@indigostudio2245 That would be depressing because this is a roguelike, so we would be bound to beat him for an infinite amount of times without being able to save him.
@@benjaminrecalde7628 they ended up changing the context of why you fight the final boss in the first game, cant see how they cant do the same here
First can be under control of Chronos, then for training.
The virgin god of fire and hearth of the home Hestia, is her design not finished yet? I know she has a hood in some depictions but this one seems a bit bleak
Her design, and Charon’s design are a work in progress
Its a placeholder like Charons portrait.
the cloak is a place holder kinda like in the first game all the gods were hooded up before they had the designs
@@dudejoe24 the first game also had those? Was it this exact same cloak design or was it diferent? Im kinda curious.
I am really hoping for a Zagreus favor later on. It'd be an awesome tie in while keeping the focus on Melinoe
Hecate: Nice abs.
She is sure not dumped strength attribute
Oh no, they're hot again
Is the voice actress for Hecate the same as the narrator from Baldurs Gate 3???
yes!!! such good casting imo amelia tylers voice truly fits hecate as a character
The only thing I didn’t like was the original death jingle wasn’t used, unless that particular jingle is meant to represent Chronos like the other one with Hades.
I’m also hoping that after the true ending, your family will at least hang around like Persephone in the first game, but how that would work into the story while still making Chronos a boss to revisit is hard to say.
(Cannot wait for what Hades’s art looks like…)
I love how Demeter has a new, armored design. Hair done up and everything, even has a scowl now. Lets you know that she *really* means business.
I loved playing Hades....and i shall enjoy playing the sequel.
Can time be stopped?
Momentarily, yes.
Dio: ZA WARUDO!!!
I am so happy about Hestia
Selene's always been a favorite of mine from the old Greek myths. Glad they didn't disappoint with her design here!
I hope that they get some more dynamic poses in the full one
i have only hear 10 to 15 ish seconds of Hestia and i already love her
6:04
I know exactly what the internet is going to do to you.
I hope Prometheus makes an appearance
Hades 2: The Return of the Thirst
Loving Hestia's accent
Does Artemis have a different voice actor?
(SPOILERS)
0:41 Apollo
1:08 Poseidon
1:53 Charon
2:10 Demeter
3:00 Hestia
3:26 Aphrodite
3:51 Artemis
4:52 Selene
5:21 Zeus
6:00 Arachne
6:42 Hephaestus
7:12 Hecate
9:27 Moros
Tysm!
thank you! But won't we get Athena Ares and Dionysus???
@@berilsevvalbekret772 I hope so. I also really want to see Nike make her debut in this game as well since she's a really cool goddess from the mythology
@berilsevvalbekret772 This is the technical test. Things are bound to change and they haven't revealed all the contents yet
Still no Hera... wait maybe she suppose to be the villain along side the Titans?
Kronos ate her too as a baby so no.....
Absolutely love the design of Hecate
I wonder if they will add ares it would be cool
really hoping to see Circe in Hades 2! it would make sense narratively too as circe is a goddess of witchcraft
hestia is bestia
The design of the Olympians in Hades 2 looks more gaudy and much brighter than Hades 1
Artemis is Melinoe's sister? Or did they know each other before Hades? What's the deal here?
I'm assuming that they're more akin to "Sisterly bond" since Artemis from what I recall has a in-group of all girls.
Technically they are cousins, but as the comment before says, she is using "sister' as in sisterhood in either combat or friendship, considering in the first game Artemis and Zagreus establish a bond of friendship too (subtle nod to Zag being a god of hunting too in certain versions of his myth) maybe Melinoe got an even closer bond with Artemis.
It's like comrades calling each other as brother in arms
@@bazzjedimasterSelene at one point mentions the “silver sisters” which is most likely referring to Selene, Artemis, Hecate and Melinoë as the are all goddesses of the moon, so it’s most likely something related to that
@@percy2054 They all have a band with each other's colors on it, so that's probably it.
is selene and nyx the same actress
damn Hecate is jacked for a goddess of witchcraft lol
Can someone explains why Hestia looks like that?
Mmmmm, hello there Aphrodite
HOLY FUCK SELENE??????
Aphrodite •_•
I sure do hope we get the greek god of gardening 😂
Damn what happened to Hephaestus
Hera threw him down a mountain
@@hexbug9737And he got a limb from that not missing a foot and stuck in a wheelchair....
Honestly the box ticking in these games is becoming annoying.
@@thehermit8723 not a limp a mangled foot
@@thehermit8723 What do you mean?
Why Apollo and not Helios? I'm kinda disappointed. They even have Selene here.
Where are Athena and Ares ??? They are the two gods of war, but they don't appear in a game where Olympus is at war ???
That's a great question 😁😁
PMG THEY HAVE CHARACTERSS
Moros is really hot OMG 🤭🥵
It's a Hades game, everyone's super hot. (Even Hephaestus who, in the original greek myths, was thrown off Olympus at birth due to being ugly.)
Hades II is officially Lore Olimpus fan fiction.
Man they downgraded tf out of artemis her design and pose are just so meh now
There are a few things the Devs could do so it feels like a sequel and not a 1.5; enemy combat design needs a bump up (they need to be doing more than just chasing us), more environmental interactivity (they can't all be bombs), and less blatant lore drops would be nice (like the intros are so stiff). I hope the test reveals points of improvement for them.
Hephaestus and Apollp are meh....
piss poor worksmanship" hephestus isnt that your work?
My only complaint is that Melinoe doesn’t have her own personality. She’s literally just Zagreus as a woman. Her cadence of speech is almost exactly the same too. I just don’t see why we couldn’t have had Zagreus again as a protagonist.
We don’t actually know that. This is just a glimpse of a much bigger game.
Aren't they siblings? I mean it can kinda make sense
Thanks for not having black people in Greek mythology. That racist drivel is infuriating.
homie i'm not sure they're the racist here
@@redmage5251 wights aren't allowed to have their own history, culture and folklore. The fact that me pointing it out seems racist to you, makes you a racist.
Either treat all cultures with respect. Or don’t. Stop retconning history/reality/the world/existence/life. To suit a small resentful, jealous, aggressive group's narrative. The DEI cult.
How about we allow the Greek Pantheon to represent the… oh I don’t know: the Greek Pantheon!!!
