Less than 24 hours after launching on Steam, the early access version of Hades 2 has already doubled the all-time peak concurrent player account set by the original Hades. While Supergiant Games certainly found success with its earlier titles like Bastion, Pyre, and Transistor, the studio really took off after it released the roguelike action title, Hades. Although Hades was originally an Epic Games store exclusive, it eventually launched on Steam a year later in 2019 through Early access, releasing Version 1.0 on September 17, before eventually launching across most other platforms like the Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles.
Supergiant Games Asks Hades 2 Fans Not To Share Datamined Content
20.04.2024 - 21:24 / thegamer.com
Supergiant Games has asked Hades 2 fans and content creators not to share content that has been datamined from the Technical Test, as it was accidentally left in the files.
We've known for some time now that Hades 2 was going to release in Early Access at some point in 2024, but no one expected it to come bursting out of the shadows like it suddenly has. Just a few days ago out of nowhere, Supergiant Games revealed that a Technical Test for Hades 2 was going live, giving players a great first glimpse at what the sequel is all about.
While the Technical Test has more than enough content to keep Hades fans happy until the full Early Access release starts (including a hint at what has happened to Zag), it seems that the test's files were hiding a few more things that Supergiant Games would rather players discover on their own later in the game's life.
Since the Technical Test released the other day, Hades 2 fans have been able to dive into the game's files and uncover content that isn't currently in the game, like a handful of Gods who will presumably either offer Melinoe Boons or show up to battle her as she goes about on her journey.
Although none of the leaks going around right now are too spoilery (which I can confirm as someone who saw them floating around), Supergiant Games has still asked fans to not share them around and requested that anyone who has posted the datamined content to take them down so they can still be a surprise to fans in the Early Access release.
"Hey, we wanted to ask if you'd be willing to delete this tweet containing data-mined content from Hades 2. It was our mistake to include content in the build that wasn't meant to be revealed yet, and we know no harm was intended by posting it or anything like that. This is just an example of something we hoped players would discover in the Early Access version.
Over on the Hades subreddit, Redditor bunnysong shared a polite Twitter message that they received from Supergiant Games asking that they take down their tweet that showcased the datamined content. In the message, Supergiant blames itself for leaving the content in the game, before acknowledging that it being shared isn't to cause harm and is just representative of the excitement for Hades 2.
Even still, Supergiant requests that anyone who has shared the content (it seems a few Twitter users received a similar message) takes it down as they want it to be a surprise for the Early Access launch of the game, instead of being shown during the Technical Test that not many players can even get into right now.

Hades 2's Early Access Release Already Has More Content Than The First Game
Hades 2 is finally out now in early access, giving us all the chance to jump in and give protagonist Melinoe a spin for the first time. Of course, Hades 2 isn't fully feature complete yet, with multiple big updates planned for later this year and in 2025, so questions have been raised as to exactly how much Hades 2 we'll get to play before we hit a wall. Thankfully, developer Supergiant is on hand to clear that up.
