Hades 2 launched in Early Access earlier this week (May 6) and the roguelike dungeon crawler has quickly become a hit.
The original Hades was released by Supergiant Games in 2020 and following a technical test last month, Hades 2 has now been released into Early Access. The sequel has already doubled the highest concurrent player count for the original as well.
According to SteamDB, 103,567 people were playing Hades 2 at the same time shortly after its release, while the peak for the original Hades was 37,749.
A string of positive reviews has also given Hades 2 an “overwhelmingly positive” rating on Steam. “It’s like Hades, but they did it again,” reads one review while another says they “accidentally played for 11 hours straight.”

Hades 2 is the first sequel Supergiant Games have ever made, with the game “building on the best aspects of the original god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.”
