Hades II Shared the Early Access Patch 8 Notes

Developer Supergiant Games is back with a new patch 8 for Hades II Early Access. Following the Warsong update, this patch includes fixes and targeted adjustments for a smoother play experience as you battle toward the final confrontation. The developers have now switched their focus to the third major update.

In Hades II, players take on the role of Melinoe, Princess of the Underworld. She is an “immortal witch and sorceress” and has plenty of scores to settle. Her brother is Zagreus from the first game, which ties things up nicely for those who like continuity in their games.
