Hades 2 patch is a smorgasbord of tiny additions, adding more closure to sidequests, an extra level of zoom, buffs to boons, and more romance

Melinoe looks down from above, here eyes set in a scowl.

A couple of weeks ago the Xbox and PlayStation 5 port of Hades 2 was announced with a memorably thirsty trailer that doubled as a hint about an impending update, featuring a glimpse of a new scene involving Heracles in a bath. Turns out, Supergiant has been working on a lot more than new hot tub content, with post-launch patch two out now on Steam. Here are the featured additions from the top of a significant set of patch notes.

  • Fated Prophecy Updates: Prophecies about characters such as Odysseus and Arachne now have new narrated conclusion scenes, which can be viewed in the Fated List once those Prophecies are fulfilled.
  • Forever Gifting: Most Crossroads characters now can be gifted Bath Salts, Twin Lures, or Ambrosia indefinitely after forging a bond with them, in various brief new scenes.
  • Going Steady: Characters with whom Melinoë can have non-Platonic relations may occasionally show interest in continuing to have such relations.
  • New Dialogue Events: Many of the game's characters have new things to say at various points throughout the story.
  • ...And More! Look for dreamy new decorative items in the Crossroads Training Grounds, a new alternate form for each Animal Familiar, and additional surprises we hope you'll enjoy!
