Hades 2 creative director Greg Kasavin has explained how Hades 2 spent less time in Early Access than its predecessor, despite being a far bigger game.
As Supergiant Games' first sequel, it was unexpected to see Hades 2 follow up the previous game by launching first into Early Access before a full launch followed. Hades dropped in December 2018 and took just under two years before it was released in September 2020, while Hades 2 arrived in September 2025, a year and four months after its Early Access launch.
