Now,Supergiant Games has invitedHadesfansto participate inHades 2’s technical test, which was devised to find and correct bugs before the game’s Early Access release. To participate, fans should visit the game’s official page on Steam, and request access. If they are lucky and get chosen by the devs, they will gain access to the game via email. Unfortunately, only a few players will be picked, as Supergiant Games intends to keep this testing period short. When participating, players are encouraged to give feedback to the developers, letting them know if they find any crashes or similar technical issues.

According to Supergiant Games, the upcomingHades 2technical test will only allow players to test a small part of the game’s content. This version of the game will contain only the first major area that will be featured in the final version. If players clear the first area several times, the game may “gently suggest” to them to stop playing, asHades 2’s Early Access is said to be coming up soon.

In any case, participating in the technical test will give gamers a unique chance to peek atHades 2before most people.Hades 2is Supergiant Games’ first sequel, and it will feature returning characters such as Zeus, as well as new ones like Hecate and Melinoe. While the sequel will have a gameplay loop similar to its predecessor, it’s also expected to come up with new mechanics and ideas.

WhileHades 2is aneagerly anticipated indie game, it does not have an official release date yet. In the post, the developers explained that they are not entirely sure how long the technical test will last, as it may range from “longer than a week” to “shorter than a month,” and thatHades 2’s Early Access will only happen after that.
