Supergiant Games is setting a stellar example of how early access games should be maintained, as evidenced by the second major update for Hades II, aptly named Warsong. This update brings a comprehensive list of changes that players will need to take their time scrolling through, though it might not be as daunting as the 1,700 fixes included in the recent STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl patch.
Alongside the extensive changelog, the developers have enriched the game with over 2,000 new voice lines, fresh music tracks, and deeper character interactions. Players can now engage with Ares, the God of War, explore a new familiar, and enjoy a host of quality-of-life improvements, enhancements, and bug fixes.
One of the standout features of the changelog is the inclusion of changes specifically suggested by the game's community. While it might seem like a minor detail, this inclusion is a powerful acknowledgment that player feedback is valued and integral to the development process.
Looking ahead, Supergiant has announced that the third major update for Hades II is slated for spring. However, it's still premature to speculate on a full release date. This approach to continuous updates and community engagement demonstrates Supergiant's commitment to delivering a polished and enjoyable gaming experience.
