This month, Hades II favors Game InformerCover of After playing several hours of the Early Access build (which is publicly available starting today), we traveled to Supergiant Games Studios in San Francisco to interview several key team members — creative director Gregg Kasavin, studio director Amir Rao, art director Jen Zee, composer Darren Corb, and voice actor Logan Cunningham. – To get the full story of the creation of the game. The cover story reveals why Supergiant decided to create its first sequel, how it chose a new heroine in Zagrius’ sister Melinoe with her legendary roots, and how the team is changing its approach to early access and content in the future. It also includes an in-depth breakdown of Hades II’s new features and our impressions of the game so far.
Our cover story on Hades II is a celebration of gameplay and a peek behind the scenes at Supergiant, with the hope that anyone who reads it will have a more exciting and informed experience playing the highly anticipated sequel. If you’re a fan of the original game or this new installment, we suspect you’ll read what we learned and learn more about what makes the franchise so special.
The amazing cover art is an original piece by Supergiant’s famous artist Jen Zee. It depicts Melinoe, princess of the underworld, with her mentor Hekate gazing at the lunar horizon.
