New bonding events, a revamp of the Flames of Ygnium, balance adjustments, new songs, improved artwork, and more await players.

Supergiant Games has released its newest major update for Hades 2, adding several new features. These include the Vow of Rivals, allowing players to unlock tougher versions of the Guardian fights; new Wardens in Erebus and the City of Ephyra; and the final secret Aspect for each Nocturnal Arm.

The Flames of Ygnium have also been revamped for “smoother, snappier” play, and Selene’s Hexes can now be infused with Olympian powers, making them much more potent. Scylla and the Sirens have new songs, and various bonds can now be further courtesy of new events. Even Narcissus finally shows his face.

You can also expect the usual balance changes and improvements, from new enemy waves spawning a little bit sooner to increased damage for the Black Coat in almost every facet. Check out a dramatic reading of the patch notes below.

Hades 2 is in early access for PC with Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 versions in the works.
