Supergiant Games is setting a prime example of how to handle games in early access with their latest update to Hades II, titled Warsong. This second major update brings an extensive list of changes that players will need to take their time scrolling through. While it's not as daunting as the 1,700 fixes in the latest patch for STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, it's still a significant overhaul.
Accompanying the update, the developers have enriched the game with over 2,000 new voice lines, fresh music tracks, and more in-depth character interactions. Players can now encounter Ares, the God of War, along with a new familiar. The update also includes a variety of quality-of-life improvements, enhancements, and bug fixes that enhance the overall gaming experience.
One noteworthy aspect of the changelog is the inclusion of specific changes that were suggested by regular players. This may seem like a minor detail, but it's a significant gesture that underscores the importance of player feedback in the development process.
Looking ahead, Supergiant has announced that the third major update for Hades II is slated for spring. While it's still premature to discuss a full release window, the commitment to continuous improvement and responsiveness to the community is clear.
