The Hades team just can’t help but keep going, launching yet another “final” update after the previous one. But this time, it is genuinely the last one.
The Early Access phase for Hades 2 is coming to a close, and it will be marked by a concluding update. However, multiple announcements have been made regarding this, leading to some confusion on Reddit.
It remains uncertain if the alterations in the last update will truly be the final ones. We’ll clarify what changes you can anticipate and capture the sentiment around the upcoming launch.
The now (truly!) final update
Early Access Patch 11 for Hades 2 was unexpectedly released yesterday. The surprise comes from the fact that the developers had already stated in Patch 10 on Steam that this would almost definitely be the last update before the official launch.
But only pretty likely, as they reiterate in yesterday’s update announcement. According to the developers, this update is indeed the final one and introduces minor enhancements, bug fixes, and balance tweaks that prepare for the release of the complete version. The full (surprisingly comprehensive) list of changes can be found here: here on Steam. The most significant new features can be located further down in the article.
Balance adjustments to weapons and foes
Update 11 doesn’t introduce any major alterations, but it does adjust a few weapons in detail. Umbral Flames now boasts larger projectiles and increased speed, while fans of the Moonstone Axe can anticipate greater damage. While charging your Omega attack, the Black Coat’s block function should now also respond more effectively.
Several Boons, Aspects, and Blessings have also been redesigned. Additionally, you’ll face fewer enemies in the later game zones to improve game fairness. The environment on Mount Olympus has also been subtly modified to ease cover-taking.
A note regarding the current patch notes indicates that most of the changes stem from community feedback. Supergiant Games is likely ensuring that Hades 2 feels genuinely enjoyable for players in its current form before launch.
Final_Final_Final_Update – Reddit approaches it humorously
On Reddit, fans instantly began to poke fun at the announcement. In the comments, users jest that patch versions with titles like Patch_Final_Final_Final or Final_Final_Finalfrtho_3 are likely to come next.
Anyone who has ever had to finalize a project probably understands this dilemma. Nonetheless, the developers are receiving substantial praise for the content – Hades 2 is already more refined and deeper than its predecessor in many gameplay aspects. The final release date is still to be determined, but no additional features are expected to be introduced before then. The actual launch update will then solely concentrate on the conclusion, achievements, and a few final detail enhancements.
