Been waiting for this video. 😆
i'm so sad you couldn't show your surprised reacts
I hope the third boss is Zag and Mel destroying Theseus and his army together.
Hades, one of the best fckng games I've ever played
Dude, plug your nose and blow to pop your ears.
Cant wait for all aspects all games speedrun
Zag probably is running the underworld while his dad is imprisoned, but I feel he would be a cool secret battle, like with Charon
The trailer is so seck c. I am excited for another SGG masterpiece
"Zags sis?"
Yes… maybe? Half-sister/cousin
Melione is the daughter of Persephone and … ZEUS… sometimes treated as a two-sides/same-coin with hades but… Greek family trees are more of a wreath
F yeah !
been waiting for this reaction
when you inevitably live stream hades could you post a notif on YouTube before please with a link
kind of a bummer there is no appearance or mention of Zagreus
My body is ready. TGA really fucked up showing Hades 2 as their first game. I didn't care about the rest of the presentation
"You should play every game they put out…" Respectfully, no. Don't get me wrong, I love this studio, but that's how you get modern Blizzard.
Haelian gonna hit 150k subs by 1 month after Hades 2 launches
its a coop game, zag is 2p
I can’t wait to backseat Dan’s choices hour 1
My theory is that that Kronos killed Hades and aged Zagreus up to look like his father.
Check out Jon Solo, he made mythology videos for Hades, sooner or later he will make for Hades 2 as well
FINALLY!!!
Hades 2 will need a lot less time to develop, most of the code they can take from Hades (level randomizer or whatnot) and the way boons work, they dont need to make and bugfix from scratch
It might be a "cash-in" for them to make a sequel, but it's one of the best games of all-time. It deserved a sequel.
I can't believe he didn't know it was comming tbh lol
HHYYYYPPPPEEEEEE
This and Mythology Guy literally the only reaction that matters.
I like how one of the chat comments is "but I don't wanna play as a woman". Now you know what it's like!
is this game better than soulstone survivor?
God I hope Charon returns also, nemesis having the sword back I feel is a really crazy story point (for Zag) for them to show off
God of time
Will reset time before he lose !!!!!
Hades is back baby!!!
Looking forward to the game, but also just watching Haelian dominate it!
To break down some of the mythology for people:
The figure the main character is fighting at the start is 100% Hecate (pronounced HECK-uh-tee). She's the goddess of magic and witchcraft , which is why she is wearing the stereotypical witch hat. She is often portrayed carring two torches, which is what she was fighting with. She is also often portrayed as having 3 faces, which is referenced in the fact that her shoulder pauldrons have faces on them.
Cronos (or Kronos or Chronos) is the Titan of Time. The titans were the ones who controled the earth before the gods were born and took over the earth. Cronos was the king of the Titans, but there was a prophecy that his children would overthrow him. So, whenever his wife Rhea gace birth, he would eat his children. First was Hestia, then Demeter, Then Hera, then Hades, then Poseidon, and finally, Zeus. But Zeus' mother got fed up with Cronos eatong her children, so she actually tricked Cronos into eating a rock shaped like a baby, and his Zeus away. When Zeus grew up, he tricked his father into throwing up all his children (because they were gods, they were just trapped in him and couldn't die) and with their help, they chopped up their father to pieces and imprisoned him in Tartarus (again, because he couldn't ACTUALLY die).
The main character is Melinoe, a minor goddess associated with nightmares and madness, and child of Hades (or possibly Zeus?) and Persephone. Similarly to Zagreus, there isn't much known about her.
Pressumably, Cronos has escaped Tartarus and captured Hades, and our job will be to go down the opposite way Zag did and kill him, but because he is the Titan of time, he will likely reverse time every tine we kill him and we will have to start all over.
antagooonist XD
antaaaagonist dude 😛
so glad you posted a reaction video
what would Haelien think was the first thing I thought when I saw it
The boon choices looks very reminiscent of the very early builds in Hades' Early Access. They used to have much more generic descriptions before they started to work on balance and get the numbers locked in.
I waited for this reaction on the day the game was announced!
as soon as i hear the hades music i feel so comfy
Wait… Doesn't that look like a grown up Zag in chains at the end? I feel like Hades is bigger than that, that looks like a slightly beefier Zag….
I'm guessing we get a new protagonist because Supergiant wanted to develop a new playstyle. You said it yourself, they like to reinvent the wheel. You can't really push this new Magick system on good old Zag, right?
maybe apart from the Olympians who were present in the first game maybe we'll get to see Hera, Hestia, Eris(?) and so on
Just gonna point this out, the pronunciation of the Goddess of Magic/Witchcraft’s name is, in the bluntest terms: “Heh-cuh-tee”
I been playing this game the last month enjoying hades a lot, and im now even more hype hades 2
"The greatest teacher is out there" So we'll need to find Zag?
Actually i really think that their games kept getting better with time. Transistor and pyre was so good but also very unique which explains why they has worst sells imo.
When they came back with a rogue like obviously it had to be a huge succes
