You could call it the summer that Saudi Arabia swallowed sports. On June 6th, news broke that Saudi-backed LIV Golf was merging with the Professional Golfers’ Association, funded to the tune of over a billion dollars by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). In soccer, the world’s most popular and lucrative sport, the kingdom has brought global superstars such as Karim Benzema, Neymar, and Jordan Henderson to the desert to play their trade, laboring not only under the region’s sweltering heat but virulent criticisms of sportswashing. For established institutions, it was a summer of humbling disruption in which they had perhaps quietly sensed, for they would never admit it, the dawning of a new world order.
Beloved roguelike Hades is joining Netflix’s gaming service
12.11.2023 - 19:13 / destructoid.com
Zagreus has found his new home: Netflix. Revealed during Netflix Geeked Week, Supergiant Games’ Hades is coming to Netflix’s gaming service in 2024.
The 2020 roguelike is joining the ranks of Immortality, Spiritfarer, and Oxenfree as one of the available games in the service. Netflix Gaming is free for all Netflix subscribers, so owners of the streaming giant can play at no extra cost. The announcement also came with the news that Braid, Death’s Door, and Katana Zero would be added in 2024.
Hades follows the son of the titular ruler of the underworld, Zagreus, as he tries to escape the Underworld. With the help of the gods of Olympus, you die, die, and die again as you battle through ever-changing maps. Upon its release on Switch and PC, the game was lauded for its character design and addicting roguelike gameplay.
Our own Jordan Devore rated the game a 9/10, citing Supergiant Games’ strong storytelling and stellar RPG combat. Hades was nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards and even won Destructoid’s own Overall Best Game of 2020.
I played the heck out of Hades when it was on Game Pass. Seeing it made available for all Netflix subscribers is a joy. Now, more people can play this stellar game whenever and wherever they want. It’s a trip to Hell I am down to go to.
The timing for Hades to come to Netflix is pretty coincidental, as Supergiant Games is expanding the universe next year with Hades II. The game, which made its way onto my RPGs to look out for, follows Zagreus’ sister, Melinoë. Instead of her father, she’ll face the Titan of Time alongside new faces. The game is set to go Early Access in Q2 of 2024 for PC. While it’s set to release on consoles, no specifics were given.
