Hades 2 Olympic Update patch notes bring Mount Olympus biome
Also arriving are new characters, animal familiars, weapons, and dialogue as the story expands.
With Hades 2 continuing to chug along through early access, Supergiant Games has prepared a supergiant update for the game this week in the form of the Olympic Update. True to its namesake, this update brings the area of Mount Olympus, cloudy kingdom of the gods, as a new biome in Hades 2.

Supergiant Games rolled out the Olympic Update for Hades 2 in early access on PC alongside its accompanying patch notes. The headliner of this one is obviously Mount Olympus. Things are not quite right up there and it’s up to you to venture into the lands of the gods to see what’s going on. Along the way, you’ll run into two new characters, two animal familiars, a new weapon, and expanded story through a wealth of new dialogue. Read on to see the highlights in this latest update:
- New Region: Can you reach Olympus, the mountain of the gods? And if so... can you save it?
- New Weapon: Wield the otherworldly might of Xinth, the Black Coat — last of the Nocturnal Arms
- New Characters: Track down two new allies on their home turf and earn their favor
- New Familiars: You now can bond with two new animal companions... once you find them!
- Crossroads Renewal: Unlock dozens of new cosmetic items to liven up the Crossroads your way
- Expanded Story: Discover hours of new dialogue, as the plot thickens once you reach the new Region
- World Map: Look for this new presentation when moving from one Region of the world to another
- Mac Support: The game now runs natively on Macs on Apple M1 or later
In particular, this update is said to offer over 2,500 additional lines of dialogue, making for a more fleshed out story and adventure, but it’s worth noting that even in early access Hades 2 is a head turner of a roguelike adventure. Be sure to read the full notes and stay tuned to our Hades 2 topic for further updates.

Big update for Hades II early access today:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/1145350/announcements/detail/7057794870232159706-
We are planning our next Major Update to launch sometime in early 2025, in a little less development time overall than The Olympic Update. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we press on!
Wonder when they are shooting for full release -
How come they released Hades2 like this? Needed more money to pay the devs? Other projects? Should I buy now (and likely never playing the actual release) or wait for the game to finish baking?
Also, what’s the best game that’s like a two player version of Hades?-

Pretty limited time. Id have about 40 hours to spend on it whether or not it’s finished. With the original I escaped twice and called it a day.

Roguelikes benefit greatly from player input in early access, in terms of tuning the RNG, balancing abilities if you don't want the game broken with certain builds, etc. They dud it Hades, and both Slay the Spire and Dead Cells used that same approach. It's not a plot to get money but to make sure the v1. 0 release is tight.

Man I'm looking forward to jumping into more Hades.

sounds like it might still be almost a year or more from completion?

I played to the first mini boss/boss and put it away till release. I loved the first one and played through most of the story, possibly all of it and then some. I'm not a completionist but to me the story was worth grinding for. I suck as far as skillz in rogue likes go so I did god mode pretty early and intend to with Hades 2 also.
