We are so excited to announce Hades II, our studio's fifth game and first-ever sequel! Meet the Princess of the Underworld in our 4K reveal trailer, which premiered tonight at The Game Awards: [previewyoutube=l-iHDj3EwdI;full][/previewyoutube]
Coming to Early Access
Like its predecessor, Hades II will be available in Early Access here on Steam for some time leading up to its full v1.0 launch. Add Hades II to your wishlist for a handy reminder when the time comes: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145350/Hades_II/ Feedback from our player community through the course of development was foundational to the design and vital to the quality of the original game, so we plan to reprise that type of process with Hades II. Expect more information about our Early Access sometime in 2023.
About the Game
In Hades II, you'll battle beyond the Underworld using dark sorcery to take on the sinister Titan of Time in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.
This is a direct sequel taking place sometime after the events of the original game. No prior knowledge of the original Hades is needed, though there are plenty of connections! As Melino,the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you'll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the Titan's forces with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment. New locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and surprises await as you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld again and again.
Like her brother Zagreus from the original game, Melino is not a character of our own invention, and is based on an ancient Underworld deity thought to be related to Hades. What little ancient mythology exists about her was more than enough to make us want to explore her story and connection to her family, and in so doing, expand on our vision of the Underworld! For more details, check our Hades II FAQ. Please note, much like with our past titles, we plan to leave many details for you to discover!
About Supergiant Games
We are a small independent game studio based in San Francisco, CA. Since 2009, we have strived to make games that spark your imagination like the games you played as a kid.
We now have more than 20 people on our team (a few more than on the original Hades), including all seven of the original members of the team that created our first game, Bastion, who have worked together in their respective roles on all our games ever since. We work on one main new game project at a time, and Hades II is that project for the foreseeable future. The original Hades earned more than 70 Game of the Year awards following its v1.0 launch in 2020, and grew into our most successful game. Now, we are doing our best to make a sequel that lives up to its predecessor, and stands strong on its own merits. Your generous support is the reason we've been able to stick together as a team all this time, so thank you very much for believing in us and for your patience as we develop this game!

We are beyond excited to announce we have completed the Early Access development of our god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler, Hades, and officially launched v1.0 of the game! Whether you've been with us all through Early Access or just now delving in, we hope you have a wonderful time exploring everything the Underworld has to offer. Get it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145360/Hades/
About the Game
Hades combines the best aspects of our critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre. [previewyoutube=Bz8l935Bv0Y;full][/previewyoutube] As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you'll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt. We designed Hades for Early Access from the ground up to see just what we could create in partnership with our community. After three years in development, the result is by far the biggest, most feature-rich game we've ever made. We hope it captures your imagination right away with its fast-paced action and detailed world, and keeps you discovering new events and possibilities for dozens or even hundreds of hours. For more information, visit the Hades FAQ on our web site.

Today we'd like to let you in on a simple alternative: our mailing list, the Supergiant Blast! Sign up right here in just a few seconds.

We're kicking off the Supergiant Blast later this month! Sign up by June 25, 2018 if you want to get the first installment. We've also updated each of our games on Steam to include quick links to our sign-up page. Beyond that, we've got a lot of exciting stuff in the works here these days!

Pyre now features full text translations in simplified Chinese, Russian, German, French, and Spanish!
In the coming days well continue making some improvements based on your feedback and continued testing, though we didnt want to make you wait any longer before launching the first version of this update. Were grateful to our players around the world for their patience and support on what we knew would be a much bigger and more complex translation project than we've done for our previous games. In addition to having a much larger word count than Bastion or Transistor, Pyres interactive narrative means there are hundreds of millions of possible content combinations in the game. Accounting for all that took a lot of time!
We hope this new update means many more of you out there will be able to fully enjoy our latest adventure. Please note that, due to the complexity and costs associated with the translation effort, we're not planning official translations into any additional languages at this time. We appreciate your understanding in this. Thank you for playing Pyre!

Since the launch of Pyre back in July, we've been taking stock of all the wonderful response and feedback from players around the world, as well as getting busy figuring out what's next! By way of saying thank-you to everyone who's supported the game, we're pleased to announce a free update and bonus soundtrack, available now!
About the 'True Nightwing' Update
The centerpiece of our latest update is a new Campaign mode that's unlocked after you reach the end of the Campaign (if you've already finished the Campaign, it should be unlocked automatically). Reminiscent of an 'Ironman' mode in other games, this new way to play really amps up the challenge, and emphasizes many of the unique aspects of Pyre's campaign -- notably in how the story has no 'Game-Over' state, and keeps moving forward, taking your choices and outcomes into account. It's designed to enhance playing through the Campaign successive times, whether you want to visit your favorite characters again, or experience all the many millions of event combinations in a whole new way. Some of the specific changes in this mode: [quote] · Base difficulty same as Heightened. · All Titan Stars unlocked, and some must be used. · Enlightenment required to rank up re-scaled. · Cannot load checkpoints or restart Rites. · Book of Rites and White Lute fully unlocked. · Slugmarket inventory fully unlocked. · Feats of Glory introduced much sooner. · Note: Once chosen, this setting cannot be changed. [/quote] Many of the early tutorials are skippable so you can get into the meat of the action more quickly, and develop brand-new strategies around how to outfit your exiles, and how to take on your many adversaries. Complete the story in this mode, and earn a new Steam Achievement!
ALSO! Introducing the Pyre Original Soundtrack Bonus Album Set
In addition to the new mode, we're pleased to add more than two hours of extra music to the Pyre Original Soundtrack, in the form of two bonus albums. · Pyre: Original Soundtrack - The White Lute features acoustic versions of many of the signature tracks from the game (they're the versions you hear using the White Lute item in the wagon). · Pyre: Original Soundtrack - The Black Mandolin features eight unique variations of the song 'Never to Return', for each of the different triumvirates you confront in the Rites! If you purchased the soundtrack, you'll automatically receive these bonus albums as a free update. You can also stream them for free on our YouTube channel and other streaming services.
Pyre Merchandise in our Online Store!
In case you missed it, we're also now offering a Pyre T-shirt and 24" x 36" Poster in our online store! Follow the links for more info on each item. We ship these and all our store items worldwide, straight from our San Francisco studio. * * * We hope you enjoy the True Nightwing update, and we really appreciate all your support of Pyre.

We really appreciate all the enthusiastic support you've shown our third game since its launch a little over a week ago! We're continuing to support the launch and taking in all your feedback. We hope this update means a whole new group of players out there will be able to experience our biggest game ever, and meet its colorful cast of characters. Thank you for playing Pyre!
