We've been patiently waiting for this one! At long last, Hades 2 has been announced for PS5, and what's more, it's right around the corner.
The highly acclaimed sequel to Supergiant's superb roguelike dungeon crawler Hades finally comes to Sony's console on 14th April 2026.
Check out the slick trailer below:
Hades 2 follows a new character, Melinoë, sister of Zagreus, who is attempting to save the Underworld from the Titan of Time.
While gameplay looks to be fairly similar to the original, Hades 2 features plenty of original ideas while telling its own story and introducing you to an even wider array of Greek mythology characters.
Our sister site Nintendo Life awarded the game a big fat 9/10 on Switch 2, praising its wealth of roguelike mechanics, well-written characters, and great presentation.
We're very much looking forward to checking this out after loving the original.

Excellent!!!! Been waiting on this!
Michael Scott: Oh my God! Okay, it's happening! Everybody stay calm. STAY [bleep] CALM!
Thank God for this and Ai Limit's dlc keeping me busy til Saros comes out.
Perfect game for my portal. Can’t wait.
Perfect game to play 2 weeks before Saros.
If it's anywhere as good as the first one...
Hell Yeah!!!
Them feet haha
Man I've been in a bubble, I thought this came out last year on everything 🤣
I got it at launch for the Switch, it's as good as the first one, anyone who enjoyed that will have a great time with it.
Now we can actually play it at a decent resolution and frame rate on consoles!
Sorry Pragmata, Hades 2 just stole away all of my time coming up
@Haruki_NLI
It was my 2025 game of the year. I played on OLED Switch 1: some handheld and some docked, and had no issues with the performance. I imagine it would look more crisp on 85" 4K TV with PS5. I didn't try it on my son's Switch 2.
This game is incredible. I put about 80 hours into it on my Switch 2. It now seems like I’ll be doing the same for the PS version, particularly on my PS Portal.
Finally! It's gonna be a day 1 for sure.
I was struggling to find my next game to play, here it is!
Supergiant is one of the rare game studios I purchase from day 1, no questions asked. All their games are great.
That said: What am I gonna do for April? I want to play Mouse PI For Hire too!
Ahh finally. Got it on the Switch 2 (which runs at 120fps!) so hoping for the same but with a much greater res bump. Can't wait to do it all again.
gamepass! nice
Finally! My April dance card is full but as a huge fan of the original who has heard nothing but good about Hades 2 I’m going to pick it up eventually.
Welp my last comment aged like milk. I was sure it would be a years exclusivity on Switch. Glad to be wrong. Easy day 1 buy.
My gaming roadmap for the year is getting clearer. I'm probably still playing Starfield by the time this comes out. And still other things on my schedule. Nice problem to have^^
@HerlockSholmes ha, I had to check if you were in the comments here.
I think you basically willed this into the world by making a prediction, and I thank you. Cant wait to play this!
While I swallowed Hades as a raspberry, Hades 2 somehow didn't catched me. I gave it about 5 hours and was squeezing my mouth rather than feel some excitement... hmmm
Still need to play first one. I am so curious but kind of obssessive about playing Bastion and Transistor first from the studio. We will see.
@Scottyy Don't forget Pyre!
I haven't played the first Hades yet, as want to play Pyre first. I've played the other two, however, and while I didn't really click with Bastion, Transistor is one of my favourite games.
@LordAinsley You're welcome. There's no chance you will win the lottery this weekend. There you go. Enjoy!
Nice surprise! We need more of these shorter release announcements. Euro Truck Sim 2 was announced back in October and not a whisper since. This is the way to do it! Day 1.
I am going down in a roguelike blaze in April , aren’t I? 🔥
@TimeDelayedGamer
It didn't really speak to me from the type unfortunately. 🫠
Best news I’ve heard all year
@HerlockSholmes I just finished Great Ace Attorney 1. I’m heading onto the second game tonight and have to give props to your username. Best detective around 😎🧐
@CWill97 Thanks man. The first one is brilliant but you have got an absolute treat coming up with the second. It's in my top 5 games of all time. Enjoy the ride!
@HerlockSholmes damn, I cannot wait for this then. Usually I take breaks in-between Ace Attorney games but I loved Great Ace Attorney a ton. I’m hoping there’s more jury summations because that may be my favorite gameplay mechanic in all of Ace Attorney.
I’ll be all caught up after this one. Playing through AA1 through AA6, Investigations and Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for the first time has been a phenomenal experience.
Yes, I'm excited!!!!!
Comme on dit chez nous : "mieux vaut tartarus que jamais"
@HerlockSholmes I'll reach out if this happens, thanks again
@HRdepartment Because I am dumb and make bad decisions. Lol.
