Hades II is back in the news and better than ever, after stealth-dropping "The Olympic Update"! This latest patch features a new weapon, a new area to explore, a boss to defeat repeatedly fail against, and all that sweet sweet dialogue. Did anyone have "flight suit" on their Nocturnal Arms bingo card? Some highlights include:

  • "Xinth, the Black Coat" weapon: take to the skies with this mecha suit, utilizing seeking rockets and retaliation attacks.
  • Olympus is now fully accessible...can you climb the mountain and save the gods?
    • Includes a boss fight against a...certain well-known historical figure.
  • Athena and Dionysus are available once again to assist us.
  • Updated art for several people, including Charon.
  • The ability to spruce up the Crossroads with cosmetics, similar to what you could do in the first game.
  • Two new animal familiars.
  • "Hours" of new dialogue!
