With the launch of in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, Supergiant Games, the game's developers, have provided a general roadmap for updates leading up to the official, full release. A roguelike based on Greek myth, is the first direct sequel to be developed by Supergiant, a studio known for its strong lineup of standalone games like,, and. As a direct sequel, however, represents an opportunity for the studio to more directly build on the mechanics and narrative of the first game.
Set after the events of the original, follows Melinoë, a daughter of Hades born in between the two games, as she fights her way into the underworld to free it and her family from the Titan of Time, Chronos. Like the first game, was released in Early Access well before its planned release and will be in active development until that time, with the developers promising major updates that will take player feedback into account.

Hades is known for its outstanding single player experience, but Hades 2 could unite the Underworld siblings in an epic co-op experience.

Additionally, the roadmap specifies thatthe game's first major update will likely take a few months to release, and that it may not include all the game's current major goals.
For the next major updates of, Supergiant's roadmap outlines three major goals, the first of which is a new region to explore. Unlike the original ,which only initially included the first area of the game, 's Early Access already has the requisite four areas needed for complete runs. New to, however, is the ability to take on an alternate run along a different route — the new area planned for a future update is likely planned for this alternate route, as it's currently unfinished in the game's current state.
Currently, runs that go down to the Underworld can be fully beaten, and include the four areas of Erebus, Oceanus, The Fields of Mourning, and Tartarus. On the other hand, runs that follow the alternate route currently only have two finished areas, with (presumably) an additional two to be added in future updates.
The second major goal outlined in the roadmap is the ability to decorate the Crossroads, 's between-runs hub area, with various cosmetics, presumably purchased from the broker. This feature was notably present in the first gameallowing players to decorate
