Hades 2 Warsong Update Reintroduces Ares and Brings a New Boss

Hades II's "The Warsong" Update: Ares Arrives, New Content Unleashed!

Supergiant Games' Hades II has dropped its second significant update, "The Warsong," introducing the formidable god of war, Ares, and a wealth of new content. This major patch propels Melinoë's journey to the "Final Confrontation" beyond Olympus' Guardian.

Ares' arrival isn't the only exciting addition. Players can expect a new animal companion, challenging new enemies, a revamped Altar of Ashes with fresh visuals and Arcana effects, over 2,000 new voice lines, and engaging new events. Take a break from the Underworld's relentless challenges to unwind in the Crossroads, enjoy new musical scores, or even share a song with Artemis.

Looking Ahead to Update Three

While "The Warsong" is still fresh, Supergiant Games is already planning the third major update, slated for release in a few months. While a v1.0 release date remains unannounced, the developers confirm 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 Nocturnal Arms' hidden potential for player use.
• Enhanced Guardian Encounters: Refining boss battles for increased challenge and surprise.
• Expanding the Narrative: Further developing Melinoë's storyline and enriching character relationships.

Supergiant Games expressed gratitude to players, highlighting their contribution to making Hades II their most ambitious and replayable game yet. The "Warsong" update is available now as a free download on Steam for existing Hades II owners.
