Hades II announced its third update today. The sequel to 2020 indie game
darling Hades is technically still in early access on PC and Mac, but has
been getting some beefy updates ahead of its expected official release later
this year. The Unseen Update is a free, automatic update that mostly focuses
on new combat development.

There's a new Vow of Rivals that allows players to challenge more powerful
Guardian foes. All of the main weapons have received hidden aspects that
offer new forms and fighting styles. There's also new hexes and blessings,
some fresh artwork, and new story events to help grow your relationships with
the many members of the ancient Greek pantheon.

When Hades II does exit early access with the launch of v1.0 ΓÇö and
developer Supergiant said that it doesn't have a timeline for that yet ΓÇö
the game will follow its predecessor's launch schedule. Switch 2 and Switch
will be the first consoles to get the full release alongside PC and Mac, with
PlayStation and Xbox players needing to wait before they'll get a version of
the rogue-like.
