Hades II is a 2025 roguelike action role-playing game developed and published by Supergiant Games, serving as a sequel to Hades (2020), making it the studio's first sequel. Announced in December 2022, it initially released in early access for Windows in May 2024 and for macOS in October 2024. The full game released in September 2025 for both platforms alongside Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, and later for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in April 2026. The game follows Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld and sister to Zagreus, the protagonist of the first game. Melinoë aims to defeat Chronos, the Titan of Time, with the aid of other Olympian Gods. Hades II received critical acclaim for its gameplay, art style, music, and voice acting, although its ending on release received some criticism.
