Hades II: Ares and New Boss Arrive in Warsong Update

Hades II's Warsong Update: Ares Arrives, New Boss Emerges

The highly anticipated Warsong Update has dropped for Hades II, introducing the formidable god of war, Ares, and a wealth of new content. This substantial update propels players further into the game's compelling narrative.

Ares and His Fury Join the Fray

This update pushes Melinoë towards the "Final Confrontation" beyond the Guardian of Olympus. Ares, the bloodthirsty god of war, makes his entrance, bringing with him a fresh set of Boons to dramatically alter gameplay.

Beyond Ares, the Warsong Update boasts a new animal companion, challenging new enemies, a visually enhanced Altar of Ashes with updated Arcana effects, over 2,000 new voice lines, and exciting new in-game events. Players can even unwind in the Crossroads, enjoying new musical tracks and a delightful duet with Artemis.

A Glimpse into the Future: Update 3 on the Horizon

While the Warsong Update is fresh, Supergiant Games has already begun planning the third major update, promising its reveal in the coming months. While a v1.0 launch 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: The Nocturnal Arms hold undiscovered potential, slated for player use in future updates.
• Enhanced Guardian Encounters: Boss battles will receive significant refinements to increase challenge and surprise.
• Expanding the Narrative: Melinoë's story will continue to unfold, alongside the development of character relationships and subplots.

Supergiant Games expressed gratitude to players, highlighting their crucial role in shaping Hades II's development. The Warsong Update is a free download for existing Hades II players on Steam.
