- DEATH TO KRONOS. Supergiant revealed it’s next project, their first ever sequel, Hades II, the follow up to the seminal rouge-like experience. Like it’s predecessor, Hades II will come to early access as it develops.
IN THE NAME OF HADES, OLYMPUS, I ACCEPT THIS SEQUEL
Underrated comment.
IN THE NAME OF THALIA, AARON, I ACCEPT YOUR ATTEMPT AT COMEDY
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Hey there, Zag man, how’s it going? Look, you’ve got to get up here with us olympians already. We’ve been saving you a spot! Let me see what I can do to make this game arrive sooner, maybe I can make life a bit sweeter in the meantime!
Best comment.
For anyone who doesn't know, that's Melinoe, and like Zagreus, she's an actual minor goddess from the myths.
Is she a daughter of hades or what is her relation to zag and hades?
@@ededdneddy4ever34 Zagreus and Melinoe are both Persephone's children. The father varies from story to story, often flip-flopping between a mortal king, Zeus, and Hades.
@@masterwizardwither7444 I know a lot of the ones saying Zeus is the father can usually be attributed to Hades being known as "Zeus of the Underworld"
@@CrownofMischief yes, exactly
There’s also a third child of Hades I hope we see at some point; Macaria/Makaria.
Anyone else admire the symmetry that Zagreus was trying to escape up to the surface and Melinoe is trying to sneak down from the surface?
I had come up with a concept for a prequel to Hades where you'd play as Persephone fighting her way down to escape Olympus. glad to see that SGG also keyed into the idea of flipping direction like that
isn't it called Contrast? Symmetry is different
and while he has to go to the surface and fight Hades in every run, she has to go to Tartarus to fight Chronos in every run
That word does not mean what you think it means.
Another good candidate for this approach would have been Psyche, who had to go into the Underworld to get back her beloved Eros.
Melione; goddess of souls lost before reaching the underworld; goddess of ghosts and judgement, who is sent to the surface with her lost soul army and retrieves the offerings left for the dead. Described as a being half of light and half of shadow, daughter of Persephone and Hades.
I thought she was Macaria.
@Tahiti Plan Der linde Nah it's Melione according to the supergiant press release
Wait so she’s zags sister or something
@@Idk-lr5xd yeah she is
@@Idk-lr5xd
Exactly
The year Hades came out my home was destroyed by cat 4 hurricane. I spent about 4 months living in hotel rooms, out of a suitcase in random peoples living rooms, and in my car for some time. Because of the massive damage to our town we couldn’t do much but wait for fema to process disaster relief. Literally all I had during this time was my phone, some clothes, and my switch with hades on it. Playing this game got me through the darkest months of my life and even added a bit of joy and light to some days that seemed genuinely hopeless. When I saw this art style in the first few seconds of the trailer I teared up. I have since been able to relocate to a home with a roof over my head and have now played almost all of supergiants games. Can’t wait to play this next one.
Awesome story my dude
Didn't ask
@@Now-gn1vk ya didn't have to comment
@@Now-gn1vk Didn't ask ya your opinion
@@Now-gn1vk tf is wrong with you? get a life
I'm so unbelievably hyped for this sequel.
Same, ready to 100% it!
@@Vahlosteus huh. I guess jumped to conclusions. Should probably re watch it. I cant recognize anyone so it being a prequel with chronos as the big bad was completely pure fact to me.
I guess not..
I don't believe you
Believe it. This game worth your hype
Same! But looks that it is a prequel
this game was my comfort game during tough times, so the fact that it's getting a sequel?? i might cry 😭😭
Tough times game number 2 for me man 🤧😭
When
Sorry to hear that hope your doing ok
Im literally through the war right now and I need the sequel so badly
@@leobonnes921 wheb
So from what I got so far, you're playing as Melinoe, who is a child of Persephone like Zagreus; she's his sister. The father varies from myth to myth, but going off of what she said in this trailer, it seems like her father is Hades. Unlike Zagreus, who constantly fights to get to the surface, Melinoe seems to be fighting to get into the underworld. Not only that, she is trying to reach her father, mirroring Zagreus's adventure where he was trying to get to his mother.
Correct
I feel like based on the "Death to Kronos", it's less about reaching her father, and more about killing Kronos, a titan, which have been locked away in tartarus if I'm not mistaken
But while Zagreus’s mission was reconnection between his family, Melinoe‘s mission is to save her family from Chronos’s temporal grip
@@privatizitat815 but there are actually 2 of them a primordial( time incarnate) and a titan (god of harvest, father of elder olympians) this made me confused
@@mokshitsati7248 Yes, Χρονος (Chronos or Khronos) and Κρονος (Cronus, Cronos, Kronos) are two distinct dieties by some texts.
However, as usually happens in Greek Mythology, they are sometimes correlated, mixed up and even combined. Sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously. It was decently common to mix them during the Ancient period.
The names don't help either. Χρόνος in Ancient Greek literally meant "time". There was no specification that it was the "god of time". Ζευς doesn't mean "father" or "King" or "lightning". Δημήτηρ doesn't mean "crop" or "mother". He could have been less of a god and more of a facet or abstract concept, just like Chaos in some interpretations.
Also, Chronos is supposed to be the father of Chaos and other primordial gods, but it's usually said that *Chaos* is the father of the primordial gods.
The debate between different gods and different facets of the same god is recurring. Athena and Pallas Athena are sometimes confused as two different goddesses. Both Hades and Zeus are sometimes referred to as "Zeus of the Underworld" (Ζεὺς καταχθόνιος), which may have caused confusion between the two.
It's all a huge mess of myths that constantly contradict (like any religion).
Thanatos: "Zag! Your father has be taken hostage!"
Zagreus: "Oh no. Anyways."
My guess is the witch is Hecate, associated with magic/witchcraft. She was often depicted as three-formed, and her design could be Supergiant doing a neat little wink to that depiction of her by having her shoulder pauldrons also be faces for a total of three faces.
The strophalos is a dead give away.
Yep, it’s hecate
Yes! Thought the same from the pauldrons.
also her staff being a torch since her description is she went looking for Persephone when she went missing and she had a torch with her
Like the touch of the pointy hat, a more modern accoutrement that denotes her traditional status as Queen of witches.
I've never been so excited for a sequel in my life
Same brother, Hades is the best game ever
Silksong, if it ever comes
You clearly, clearly is not a Hollow Knight player.
@@TheShicksinator i bet that there will be news tonight
🤡
@@biduMandias what you mean?
Fun fact: Melinoe seems to have an athame and a boline as weapons. An athame is a ceremonial blade used in modern witchcraft to channel and direct energy, not usually used to actually cut things. The boline is the small sickle shaped blade, and is used in modern witchcraft for more practical things like cutting cords, carving runes or sigils, and harvesting plants.
So Melinoe has learned how to fight from Hekate, the goddess of witchcraft and crossroads, and subsequently uses tools of witchcraft as weapons.
she also uses what appears to be a magic stuff, so yeah, i would say you are correct
Super hyped they went in a witchcraft direction for this sequel.
WE'RE FIGHTING KRONOS, HADES IS IMPRISONED AND ZAGREUS HAS A SISTER?!?!
I legit squealed when I saw this pop up HADES 2 LET'S GO!!!
She’s the daughter of Hades and Persephone in mythology
@@astrea4020 Thats Zagreus's sister then.
@@astrea4020 YES THAT MEANS SHE'S HADES DAUGHTER LIKE ZAGREUS IS HADES SON
SO THEY'RE SISTER AND BROTHER.
I’m pretty sure the new player character is Melinoe, the obscure goddess of ghosts, and yeah she is zargeus’s sister
@@Jerrymonrock Obviously? I was clarifying her parents.
A darker tone compared to the first game, Zag seemingly missing, and Hades captured? Lord I can't wait
Was zag born at this time? Thought this was before that time
Maybe because Zag can’t stay long in the surface (look at the moon) but Melinoe can?
@@Defnotkorean that's an interesting theory, maybe we will see Olympus this time.
@@buto1542 It s set after the first game according to SuperGiant's website
It'd be so sick if zag helps you or is playable. Just please don't abandon him for this game
Words cannot express my my excitement right now. The 1st game was a masterpiece
Agreed!
My theory is because of Zagreus' escape antics, Chronos was able to escape and imprisoned Hades in his place. To free him they need to defeat Chronos who escaped to the surface. Zagreus can't survive on the surface & maybe has to cover his father's job now, so it's up to his little sister Melinoe to save the day. Seems like she trained with Hecate much like Zagreus trained with Achilles
Solid theory man
This’d cool!
Didnt his escape attempts became his job to better the security of the underworld?
Interesting theory, except we already know that Melinoe is trying to get down into the underworld from the surface, not the other way around. Its the reverse of Zagreus. As for whats going on with chronos or zagreus, we don't know yet.
@@MrMeow-ox6jpexactly yeah but with hades missing there's a lot more to manage than just ransacking domains
I have more than 700 runs on Hades and i never get tired of it, one of the best games i have ever played. I was hoping for a DLC, but a new game is more than welcome. I am so excited for this !!!!!😄😄😄
Smart sale timing for Hades 1! I bought it this week for like 10 bucks and have been absolutely blown away by it. Good to see they're rolling with this epic ball theyve built.
Same but I got it for around $5 around 4 days ago and already spent like 27hrs in jt. And I was even trying to keep myself from playing nonstop too. Amazing game and can’t believe it gets a sequel. I’m sold already can’t wait!
i got it 5 days ago and have been playing nonstop. i just beat hades today on my 33rd attempt, just in time for the announcement of the next game 😭 i’m already so excited
SOOOOO EXCITED!!!
The music and everything are going to be so good in the sequel!
Supergiant games never miss
The first game was and still is a masterpiece. Tbh I'm not sure how they'll top that.
They won't lol. I feel like anything they add to the universe of the first game is just going to make it worse.
@@jakestamper1031 as long as the core gameplay loop is the same it'll be good on release, will have even more fans doing EA to help balancing
@@jakestamper1031 jesus, negative much? Bet your fun at parties lol
More of the same
@@revilo1735 he's that elitist boomer lol
I've had a genuine heart attack as soon as this trailer dropped. Hades was one of my absolute favorite games back when it released so a sequel definitely was jaw dropping. One of the best announcements of the game awards in my opinion, I can't wait
Genuine? Sounds scary, hope you're doing okay! My head literally exploded at this trailer drop
@@graydhd8688 Yeah, "genuine" was probably a term way too worrysome, I'm fine though ahahaha
Not enough people are excited for Dora, who if patterns from Hades I indicate, is probably _Pandora_
I already ship it xp
I cannot wait to play this game! I was always hoping Apollo would show up in Hades, the music sounds as rad as ever!
Wait isn't Apollo a roman god?
@@silkdust8069nope, he's Greek, twin brother of Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt
She's going for a walk.
A very enthusiastic walk.
If any of y'all are unsure, supergiant confirmed this is Melinoë - Goddess of ghosts, nightmares, and funeral rites; also the sister of Zagreus.
0:57 that music always give me goosebumps and make me realize that "There Is No Escape"
This looks and sounds AMAZING. I can't WAIT to play! Legit shivers while watching this trailer. The animation team did such a good fight sequence at the beginning; the colours are wonderful.
"He is no mere titan, he is time itself, and time cannot be stopped" man i've got the chills
Never expected that supergiant would make a sequel but here we are and IM ALL FOR IT
I think it's a prequel
This is awesome 😍
So my guess is that Cronos has captured Hades and Melinoe is trying to safe him. It explains why the other characters we know and love won't appear or will have very minor roles, they will be busy running the under world.
Wonder how the siblings will get along 😍
Haha I believe hades is just taking some days off ;)
Got here straight away after it was revealed on games awards
I find it funny that Hades 2 gets it announcement at VicomCBS game awards, when you remember what award Supergiant has that only they have. Remember Hades is the First and to date only Video Game ever to win A Hugo award, you know whats considered the premier award of Science Fiction and Fantasy.
IM SO HYPED!!! hades helped me through so much, i can’t wait! also i love the new gods we’ll get to me - and i love apollo’s design! the fact that his bow has multiple strings to make it like an instrument is great.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? THE ONE TIME I SIT OUT FROM WATCHING THE GAME AWARDS AND THEY DROP THIS BOMBSHELL.
1:07 is so flipping epic
it IS! i love that moment!!!!!
I love how much this captures the beats and tone of the original Hades trailer. I am so excited for this game.
I am so ready for this! But I am definitely most curious about the weapons, the story, and most importantly wondering were Zag is going to be during the timeframe of game!
I could see some kind of event like the ones we had with Thanatos during the runs in the first game with both siblings crossing paths, one going up from Tartarus (Zag) and the other on her way down to fight Chronos
That would be so cool! I can already imagine it, “Oh, hey sis! Want a hand?” “So, you fight these things, that different from me!” Or we get the original enemies that don’t show up typically and we would be lending Zag a hand!
@@enriquepx1698 wouldn’t really make sense for zag to just continue trying to escape when his dad is captured and in Hades with him. He either figured out how to leave and doesn’t care, is on Kronos’ team, or is also captured
@@shanedancer3895 I mean he could be escaping FROM Chronos, trying to avoid getting captured and maybe as a "last resort" sort of thought trying to get to the surface and alert the Olympians so that they can help free Hades (not knowing Melinoe is already working on that )
We don't really know how long it's been since the first game so it's anyone's guess (I just thought it would be an interesting encounter)
@@enriquepx1698 yeah I guess he could be fighting Kronos but I doubt he’d be going up considering the olympians obviously know and they can communicate with him. Although idk why he wouldn’t be just attacking Kronos considering he can’t really die bc he just respawns out of the river styx even if he dies. If Kronos controls time my guess is he’s doing some crazy time magic stuff the stop zagreus from being able to do anything otherwise he’s be fighting him forever
Hades was one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played. I cannot explain how excited I am about this sequel.
Finally I loved the first one I can't wait for the full game to come out
I'm glad someone finally remembered the existence of Moros. In any case, I'm really looking forward to this. Melinoe is just as underappreciated as Moros and many other Chthonic Gods.
When I head about it I was worried but knowing it’s a completely new cast of characters and follows a different story line I’m extremely hyped
This looks like its on the surface??? how is she not melting into the Styx??? I AM SO FASCINATED and I can't wait to learn all the lore.
.....also to see all the new hot characters.
I'm so hype for this and hoping to see Primodial Chaos again and see the new weapons, other gods and new lore!
The first game is so absolutely incredible to grind through so this will be a much needed new take. 🙌🏾
I wasn't expecting this, i'm VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW.
My only demand with this game, is Zagreus pops up at some point, I want to see the cast of Hades 1 make a return in some compacity. That includes our beloved Alpha-Beta-Gamma Good Boy Cerberus.
I’m so surprised and happy about this announcement, Hades is one of my favorite games. the fact that we are getting a sequel is amazing. And it looks just as good and sounds as good as the original.
With animation like this I’m dying to see what a show might look like!
Crazy to see that Nemesis is actually wielding the Nemesis sword !!!
incredible art style
i want her to have silly goofy sibling banter with zagreus sooo bad
when I say I YELLED and had to stop myself from full on crying..... I'm not exaggerating.
Holy gods. 😭😭😭 I've never been more excited for a game. The first one was my LIFE for so long...
Really hoping Zagreus makes an appearance. Love that guy.
well, this is his sister we are playing as now...
if this is a sequel, it probably happens some time after Zagreus reunited his family
the plot for Melione's story goes some thing along the lines of... her father, Hades, was captured and imprisoned by Titan Kronos and now she is on her way to rescue him after completing her training in witchcraft and combat by who we assume is Hekate, and in order to achieve her goal, Melione will have to accept help from her relatives among the Olympians and gain power boosts, she may end up dying and reviving again and again like her brother before her before she can win
If this does well, we'll probably be getting another sequel, since Zag has two sisters, Melinoe and Makaria.
It's nice that they keep making those interactive music videos for every Darren Korb album
Supergiant simply doesnt miss. Every single game they've released has been amazing.
After 130hrs in, I still need to come and see this again. Friggin Supergiant did it *AGAIN*.
I wasn't told that Nemesis was a Muscle Dommy Mommy
So that's why her aspect was so strong in the first game
I can’t wait to play this, I’m extremely hyped, excited and other similar words to describe how much I want this game
I would LOVE to see a tv series with this animation style based on these two games.
Just bought Hades this week and I can honestly say that it is one of my all time favourite games! I am having so much fun and I never get tired of pushing the mechanics of the game to new levels with every victory and loss! Such an incredible game and story! ❤️ 🙏
Gaining all the trophies in Hades brought out the best in me and took me 90 hours to achieve. Now, I'm more than ready to do that again.
I'm really curious if this is going to continue the themes of the first game, that even dysfunctional, family is still worth loving and making peace with, or if the titans are going to be cast as genuine, irredeemable villains whose defeat was right and proper. My guess is that it's going to start with Melinoe thinking the titans are pure evil and Kronos (or however they decide to spell his name) doing little to dispel that notion, but over time she realizes that the titans were just lashing out because they were scared, likely due to prophesies that came to pass as a result of their misguided efforts to stop them, and finds a way to make peace.
Now i want this for the story. The last one was so good.
Every holiday season since 2020 I'm getting back to Hades but this year is different as I finally really dwelved into it, managed to beat the game and enjoying it very much! It is practically flawless. I'm hyped!
Can't believe they're working on a sequel so fast! Can't wait!
It came out 4 years ago
Imagine Zagreus is a boss and he uses his different weapons and boons each time you fight him? This would be GREAT!
In reality i don't want them to fight, but the gameplay of fighting the past protagonist would be awesome xD
Well, one more game for my list of all-time favorite games (I hope at least).
I hope that the game has some lines with Zagreus, it would be really cool to see him talk to his sister. Like, finally some nice family member to give him a hug
I cannot wait to see what they've been working on! Rarely get this excited, tbh
This got me so hyped. Looks very similar to the first one but that's good folks! The game was absolutely perfect and if this just a 'more of the same' I'd be incredibly happy. Can't wait and I hope this launches on the switch too because its my only console now
0:56 THE THEME CLICKING IN AT THIS PART ???? THEN SEEING HER EYE ???? MY GOOOODDDD I GOT CHILLS
I like how at the end it sounds a ticking clock, like you're racing against all reason to try to stop time
Ok, now I definitely need a team up of more Minor Deities of the Greek Pantheon. I NEED it.
I thought the sequel would be Zagreus navigating his way up Olympus, but this looks great. Totally unexpected, but welcome.
Have you finished Hades yet?
I fell in love with the first game while recovering from surgery, I cannot wait to see what the next one brings!
As someone who's never played the initial game or is even into this style of game.. this trailer has me SOLD
"Don'T wOrRy ZaGreuS! wE'rE nOt hAvINg mOre cHiLdrEN" - Persephone 2000 B.C
I thought the same!! xD
Zag is me fr
The protagonist is probably either Macaria or Melinoe, sisters of Zagreus in the Orphyc Mythology.
Seems incredible, can't wait to play it
Looks like Selene to me.
It is Melinoe, in the trailer description on the Supergiant Games account it says that.
Since the MC has been referred as a witch, and the one she was sparring with has moon motifs, I'm 99% sure that the teacher is Hecate.
I have another theory, she can may be Medea the first witch and Hecate's priest, because the older woman looks like Hecate
@@pantufla2939 Definitely Hecate, the swirly bit is her symbol.
Hades was my go-to game during quarantine, and i play it every day on my trip to college. I'm very hyped for this sequel
I've bought Hades on multiple platforms. It won't be any different with this one.
"He is time itself, and time cannot be stopped"
And just with this words, this incarnation of Kronos is already scarier and more intimidating than God of War's
You clearly don’t understand greek mythology. There is no Kronos in this game, it’s Chronos. Kronos is a baby devouring Titan who has little to nothing to do with time. Chronos is the God of Time and is entirely different from Kronos. There is no Chronos in God of War, educate yourself before commenting.
@@HauntedFishes except that in this game, Chronos and Kronos are the same
@@HauntedFishes I mean a lot of adaptations combine them because it's a lot simpler that way, including GoW. I mean, having Kronos/Cronus AND Chronos is just too similar
MUITO HYPE ESTOU FICANDO ENSANDECIDO PRECISO DESSE JOGO NA MINHA MESA AGR
Pena que não tem data mano, mas o hype é real!!
I just noticed that Nemesis is holding the same Aspect of Nemesis in the first game nice detail
I actually love the idea of Zagreus having a little sister
I hope Zag's okay. Also I guess this is set way after Hades 1 because this girl was never mentioned
Now I'm waiting for Pyre 2, please make it happen Supergiant!
bastion 2 would be off the chain
i know why hades is such a success, every single button press in this game gives some insanely satisfying feedback either a sound, animation, effect everything is perfection.
I really really wish they add Hector into the game, I would love to see his interaction with Achilles
i highly doubt they will put hector salamanca from breaking bad in this game
I LOVE HER ALREADY SHES GONNA BE ZAGREUS TIER IN MY HEART
Never though they would do a second one, hella hyped!
Given that Zagreus in now officially part of underworld security he might become a late game boss
? Underworld was taken over by Kronos, that's why she's trying to save her dad (Hades) ?
My excitement is insane and yet i'm going to have to resist the urge to buy into Early Access, a game like this i want to only experience as a finished product. God speed, devs.
this is gonna be so lit I already know
I could be wrong but I believe the witch Melione was training with was Hecate, goddess of witchcraft and crossroads. Thoughts?
@FollowTheHowl Thought so. Thanks for clarifying.
I absolutely cannot wait for this I love Hades so much ❤
Lol, we see what they did there with Pandora. Love how she just flat out asked, okay if call you witch like that. I might actually pick this up🙂
Pandora! Dora! Oh my gods that so did not click for me until I read your comment 😅 thanks!
Hades: free me, father
Hades 2: free me father
I'm interested to see if Hades 2 will manage to outperform the original game with Swagreus
I return here to watch the stunning animation at the start of this trailer lol
hoping Zagreus will be an NPC at least. Maybe one also captured and we free him in earl/mid game, so we get interactions with him, maybe him giving advice and teaching some tricks, etc.
YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!
I easily sank a 100+ hours into the first HADES game without it even feeling anywhere near that long. The story-progression, new conversations, new faces, now powers, new combination of powers, new weapons, new stages with EVERY SINGLE death and restart, even after repeating the cycle for dozens and dozens and hundreds of times, it never gets old. The characters, their designs, their voice-acting, their personality are entertaining ALL THE WAY through. AND I was really hoping for a female protagonist, too, this time around. Even though Zagreus' characters was great.
HADES is THE perfect example of how rogue-lites should be done and every other developer needs to learn from them to make their games have even remotely AS MUCH replay-value.
