Hades II's Warsong Update: Ares Arrives, New Boss Emerges
The highly anticipated Warsong Update has dropped for Hades II, introducing the formidable god of war, Ares, and a wealth of new content. This substantial update propels Melinoë further into the "Final Confrontation," beyond the Guardian of Olympus.
Ares and His Fury Unleashed
Ares' arrival adds a thrilling new dimension to gameplay, introducing his unique Boons and significantly altering the game's dynamic. The update also boasts a new animal companion, challenging new enemies, a revamped Altar of Ashes with fresh artwork and Arcana effects, over 2,000 additional voice lines, and exciting new events. Players can even unwind in the Crossroads, enjoying new music and a duet with Artemis.
A Glimpse into the Future
While the Warsong Update is still fresh, Supergiant Games has already begun planning the third major update, promising a reveal in a few months. While a v1.0 release date remains unannounced, the developers confirmed that the core structure of the Underworld and Surface routes is complete, with current efforts focused on expanding existing content.
Post-Warsong patch releases will prioritize:
- Unveiling Hidden Aspects: Unlocking the mysteries surrounding the Nocturnal Arms.
- Enhanced Guardian Encounters: Refining boss battles for increased challenge and surprise.
- Expanding the Narrative: Further developing Melinoë's story and enriching character relationships.
Supergiant Games expressed gratitude to players for their contributions in shaping Hades II's development, aiming to create their "biggest, most replayable game yet."
The Hades II Warsong Update is available now as a free download on Steam.
