Supergiant Games has announced that their latest game, Hades, is coming to Steam Early Access in December.
The game has previously only been available on the Epic Games store since it launched in December of last year. It is now coming to Steam Early Access on the 10th of December. This move is highly anticipated by fans who have been eagerly waiting for the game to be available on more platforms.
We think it combines the best aspects of our previous games, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre. As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you’ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus as you battle out of hell, toward the surface, growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.
Gameplay and Features
Hades is a rogue-like dungeon crawler that offers a unique blend of action, story, and character development. Players take on the role of Zagreus, the son of Hades, as he attempts to escape the Underworld. The game features a variety of mythic weapons and abilities that players can unlock and upgrade, providing a deep and rewarding gameplay experience.
One of the standout features of Hades is its dynamic narrative. The game employs a storytelling technique that evolves with each playthrough, ensuring that no two escape attempts are the same. This narrative depth is complemented by the game’s rich atmosphere, which draws heavily from Greek mythology. The characters are well-developed, each with their own backstories and motivations, adding layers of complexity to the game.
Community and Development
The decision to release Hades on Steam Early Access is a strategic one. Early Access allows developers to gather feedback from the community and make necessary adjustments before the full release. Supergiant Games has a history of engaging with their player base, and this move is expected to foster a collaborative development process.
Since its initial release on the Epic Games store, Hades has received numerous updates and improvements based on player feedback. The transition to Steam Early Access will likely continue this trend, offering players a chance to be part of the game’s evolution. This approach not only helps in refining the game but also builds a strong community around it.
