Misschien wel één van de grootste hype momenten van The Game Awards Show afgelopen nacht was de onthulling van de nieuwe game van Supergiant Games.
De nieuwe game is Hades II, een vervolg op één van de beste roguelikes ooit gemaakt met een Metacritic gemiddelde van 93 van de 100. Deze tweede game neemt je naar de onderwereld van de Griekse mythologie en de connectie met hekserij. Jij gaat aan de slag als de Princess van de onderwereld met de volledige ondersteuning van de goden van Olympus. De god Hades uit de eerste game, maakt hier ook een opwachting.
Dit zijn de key features van Hades II volgens ontwikkelaar Supergiant Games:
- Battle Beyond the Underworld – As the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you’ll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the forces of the Titan of Time with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment.
- Master Witchcraft and Dark Society – Infuse your legendary weapons of Night with ancient magick, so that none may stand in your way. Become stronger still with powerful Boons from more than a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus. There are nearly limitless ways to build your abilities.
- Mingle with (More) Gods, Ghosts, and Monsters – Meet a cast of dozens of fully-voiced, larger-than-life characters, including plenty of new faces and some old friends. Grow closer to them through a variety of new interactions, and experience countless unique story events based on how your journey unfolds.
- Every Run is its Own Adventure – New locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and surprises await as you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld again and again. Reveal the mysteries of the Arcana Altar, tame witchy familiars, and gather reagents using Tools of the Unseen to get closer to your goal.
- The Perks of Immortality – Thanks to a variety of permanent upgrades and the return of God Mode, you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience what Hades II has to offer. But if you happen to be one, you can brave escalating challenges for greater rewards, and prove just how divine you really are.
- Signature Supergiant Style – Rich, atmospheric presentation and storytelling fused with responsive action is the hallmark of Supergiant’s titles. Vivid new hand-painted environments, even smoother real-time 3D characters, and an electrifying original score make this mythic world burst with life.
Hades II heeft geen releasedatum, maar in 2023 verschijnt de game in Early Access op Steam en de Epic Games Store.
