The content of the bonus content patch remains a mystery, but in the new, beautifully animated trailer, which sees protagonist Melinoë preparing for battle, there are a few hints about what players can expect.
For example, it looks like there will be a new scene with Heracles at the hot spring, a place where players can further their relationship with several other romantic possibilities.
Hades 2 made TechRadar Gaming’s Game of the Year 2025 list thanks to its exciting combat and gameplay loop, striking visual art style, and electric soundtrack, making it a worthy sequel to one of the best roguelike games of all time.
“Roguelikes are usually hit or miss for me, but like the first game, Hades 2 has managed to hold my attention and keep me coming back even after hours of battling through the underworld,” I wrote.
“Its unique characters and compelling narrative, inspired by the great Greek myths, and dynamic gameplay accompanied by a diverse replay structure and challenging boss battles will keep you on your toes and reward you for your efforts.”
