Hades II brings several new Greek gods and goddesses into the fold, and that includes Hecate, the witch of the crossroads. She is also the headmistress of our protagonist Melinoë.
But this isn’t the first time Hecate has appeared in a video game — far from it. This short gives a brief overview of her appearances in Smite 2, Stray Gods, and Persona 5. She’s got a striking design in every one of those.
For those looking to play Hades II themselves, the early access version is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The first game is available in the same place, as well as Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo consoles.

Also Hecate in touhou being the most powerful character in the series
Hecate not showing up during Kratos rampage is a good indicator of how clever of a goddess she is
The things I’d do to those abs.
no god a titan
Hecate not being in god of war is like j.cole quitting the beef with kendrick
Personas always got a really interesting way of interpreting real life people, characters and deities. The mainline smt games too if only they got nearly as much funding as the persona series post p4 🥲
all fun until you notice Aphrodite have male trait for her face in hades 2
Touhou 15
You guys seen Hekate from Ac Odyssey? Now that is a mommy
Actually Hecate in Stray Gods was very well made. She had that Dr. Manhattan ability to be simultaneously at the past, present and future and know how events will play out 😅
Immortals Fenyx Rising also lacked appearances from legendary figures like Hecate and Chaos.
“That art style is impeccable” what the actual fuck are you talking abt 😂
“That art style is impeccable” Maybe it’s time to get off the drugs bro 😂
Age or myrhology too
Unrelated to games, I couldn't care less about the hater's empty takes, Lore Olympus is dope… and Hecate from LO is literally the best 😂😂😂😂
Don’t care for the abs but that’s just me
Hecate saw what was happening with Kratos and decided to fuck off and become part of some other foreign pantheon. We'll find her hanging out with the Egyptians or something.
Touhou 15 lolk also has Hecatia lapisluzili, she is the goddess of hell.
Bro said hek-a-tea and Mel-on-ae😂
Hecate also appears in the 15th game in the Touhou series as the boss of the postgame stage. In that she's the Goddess of Hell and wages war against the Shinto gods who live on the Moon.
I'd say Hades 2 Hecate is almost a perfect recreation of Hecate from the myths. She's associated with crossroads. She's usually depicted as having 3 heads and bodies (the 2 copies during her fight). Her weapon of choice is torches and she summons witches during her fight. She can also cast hex to shapeshift Mel during the fight and she's also a subordinate of Persephone. A great representation on their part.
