Sean Bean!
Hades 1 didn't have humor around corporate culture. It had humor around bureaucratic culture. Mainly the idea that the underworld is some sort of family run government department reliant on mounds of paperwork hades does. Where everyone is on government wage and doesn't really care but trudges on with the job anyway. Even the idea of contracts being less legal contracts and more construction/government contracts is fairly evident.
Interesting. Some of aphro is like a reverse dio from hades1.
Interesting. This haephestus is in a wheel chair. The one from Lore olympus has two prothesis from the knees down. Nice to see some disability rep.
8:09 if I can’t taste the gods what is even the point of a sequel?
People trying to say "well its just like hades 1" when the game ain't even came out yet bro. For all we know they could be using boons from hades 1 because they ain't got new boons yet and its a placeholder. Or maybe they keep it, its a sequel who cares long as its fun.
Yeah true only so many different attacks you can have from first game,it has to end somewhere
Those squares on the ground starting at @13:14, does that look like it might be a code of some sort to anyone else!? They look like blankets on the shore, but it's very peculiar for them to be there in that configuration.
Regarding the big bad … I suspect it will still be Hades. I'm calling it the Diablo rule, if a bad guy's name is in the title, they're still the ultimate baddie of the series. There may be other bosses along the way, but they'll always end up there at the end. So my theory is that while Chronos is the lead antagonist, Hades is still there pulling the strings and you'll have to confront Dad eventually.
Game looks amazing!

Why are there like upgrade arrows on Aphrodite's door?
"Nay…" -Homer, 2024
When it comes to Hephaestus, in the first game we only got his hammer that only added upgrades to Zagreus’ gear. In Hade 2, we get to see the God of the Forge in all of his glory and the developers nailed his character design to a T!
Hephaestus was labeled as the “Ugly Son” of Zeus due to his disability courtesy of his “lovely” mother Hera the Goddess of Marriage who “lovingly” threw Hephaestus off of Olympus! An his marital status is worse because he’s married to Aphrodite who doesn’t believe in monogamy and chooses to have an affair with the Ares.
Me who was just here looking for my sleepy boy
mfw Hades 2 isn't in 4D.
I thought I saw that if you upgrade Hephaestus’ Boons, it actually Shortens the cool down time
game has same name but with 2 in it?!?! sad
Yeah. Anyone really b*thing about this EARLY ACCESS version: shhhhhhhhhh. 1)It exists to balance everything AND find errors and whatnot. 2) Why is it BAD that there are so many different and new mechanics?? Isn't that EXACTLY what we weve been talking about for a solid 2 years?? Also: Like the man said, you've spent zeroes of dollars…. Also, ALSO: I spent $49.99 on a fresh copy of Hades for Switch 3 years ago. Aside from FF7(400hrs and did EVERYTHING except beat Ruby Weapon), Chrono Trigget and the RE and Dead Space games; I haven't gotten more bang for my buck out of any other game than Hades(I'm on my 378th run. So, that's apparently 6.4 cents a run. Worth it.
Given that Melinoë's weapons and base move sets with the magic and everything feel so distinct from Zagreus' I think it's fine if a chunk of the boons and hammers are the same, they'll still feel different enough. like, when picking the Flurry hammers last game, doing so didn't suddenly mean that the spear and sword felt or played identically
"You want them to go to the 4th dimension?!"
Meanwhile the main antagonist is literally Time.
8:24–8:38. Please correct me if I’m wrong But isn’t the forth
Dimension usually time?
If so, technically, since this games BBEG is the Titian of time it already is 4d Hades.
I think instead of a bureaucratic motif it feels either more militaristic or maybe academic
My biggest wish for hades 2 is that we will be able to play them in eachothers campaign <3
0:33 Is Hephaestus on a wheelchair?
I hope Aphrodite ans Hephaestus have dialogue about each other! Can't wait to see their Duo Boon if they have one.
bro how can this guy already play hades 2?
The similarities in the hammers is satisfying to me, bc I always thought Daedalus had left a bunch of magical hammers, with like, pre-loaded labor in them, lying around the afterlife; I figure the hammer just do certain stuff, and its applied in relation to what the weapon is. And I figured the hammers would be the same hammers we were supposed to be finding in the first one.
Im so excited for this game!
Hephaestus: "SCOTLAND FOREVER!"
I thought this is all I wanted. I thought a tiny sliver of hades 2 content would be enough to satiate my craving. i was wrong.
The wait is so much pain
