The founding feature of a roguelike is that the player can make repeated runs, growing stronger each time. The conceit in Hades 1 is that Zagreus just doesn't stay dead (and respawns back at the start) and thus, can make arbitrary repeated attempts to escape Tartarus, ascending upwards. My theory about H2 is that it's about Melinoe descending down from the surface into the depths to confront Chronos... but therein lies the question: how can she cannonically make multiple runs? The key here... is time. I'm betting that Chronos has either some sort of time stop or a time loop running in Tartarus, and that Melinoe is somewhat resistant to this effect, allowing her to descend... but each time she 'dies' she just auto-rewinds to the surface, where those above may or may not be fully aware of what's happening (depending on how affected they are by the time screwery). Hectate acting as the 'first boss' as it were to make sure Mel is prepared to start going deeper, or stop her if she isn't yet. As for the post-game, I'm guessing that the endgame is that Mel beats Chronos enough times to finally re-seal him and free Hades and the others (including probably Zagreus) but the time loop 'lingers' after Chronos proper is defeated, leaving either the final guardian or a time-clone of Chronos in place of the original, allowing the player to keep challenging the game like in Hades 1, with an assurance that the temporal knot will correct itself 'soon enough' or 'eventually' without Chronos to keep it going.

"The founding feature of a roguelike is that the player can make repeated runs, growing stronger each time." Well, ackshually... ;) This is a slightly more modern innovation than you might think. Go back as far as games like Nethack and you won't really find that sort of thing, discounting stuff like randomly finding the graves of previous player characters during your run (or maybe my knowledge of the super old school roguelikes is incomplete). It's a VERY compelling design element, so I don't think it's a coincidence that it shows up in all of them these days, I'm just being a pedant about the word "founding." I do think you're right about the premise, though. It makes too much sense.

It’s more likely her ‘daughter’ Medea, as Melinoe was born to Hades and Persephone, and as we know, Persephone was born AFTER the Titanomachy We might see the appearance of Hera and the other six ‘traitors’ seeing as we saw Apollo in the trailer and Hera was also an absent god/goddess in the first game, mentioned only as a previous weirder of the Heart Seeker Bow

From Wikipedia: Melinoë is the daughter of Persephone and was fathered by her father Zeus,[8] whom he tricked by taking the form of Hades via "wily plots", indicating that in the hymn Persephone is already married to Hades. This is paralleled with another Orphic myth, the birth of Melinoë's brother Zagreus, who was conceived when Zeus, disguised as a serpent, deceived and mated with Persephone.[9]

I could see it as a fun challenge. Rather than writing it all, my first guess would be having the actors say a few lines written by the team and then come back, sit down with the creative director or character dev team, and began to start spouting off lines to be written down in a spreadsheet. Depending on the size of the game, this could equate to writing a John Grisham Novel. If pre production had all of the NPC's all picked out and set in the most sturdy stone. They could have the diolgues ready by post production and have them imported and quick tested their ingame pop up dialogues.

Have you really never played another SuperGiant game? No dialogue is ever repeated. But actually, that's very common for these sorts of indie games. Dialogue repetition is more a feature of open-world/very long RPG games, because the amount of dialogue in those is already pretty crazy for a 40+ hour main story. Case in point: Diablo series.

Imagine if Supergiant would make a show about their Greek mythology world in this art style! Amazing

Notable Greek gods I can think of missing from hades 1 that could make an appearance in 2 - Hephaestus/Vulcan, Hera/Juno, Apollo (confirmed by this trailer), Hestia (I believe Exagryph or some weapon aspect is hers in 1), Gaia, Eros, Uranos, pretty much all the titans including Hyperion, Iepetus, Atlas, and others, and also hercules, though legends disagree on whether he ultimately became a god or not. I'm most excited for the reversal of the vibes in hades 2. Like, in 1, weird as it may sound, the deepest depths of hell felt cozy. The house of hades is Zag's home, and so you feel so at ease there. The music is familiar, the landmarks are recognizable, and as you get further and further out, even into the good part of Hades, Elysium, it feels so unfamiliar, so alien and creepy, and the creature design, difficulty, music, and other aspects of the design mirror that. I want Hades 2 to give us a surface that feels familiar, with it getting darker and more terrifying the deeper down we go

I recently learned about Studio Grackle because of following Drawfee (Spencer Wan is a friend of theirs). Absolutely gorgeous art. Very excited to see the Hades art-style back in action. Beautiful game!

It would be pretty neat if they dropped the full soundtrack like they did with the first Hades Game. I listen to the Original soundtrack constantly when i'm doing college homework as it is so well designed.

This has to be one of the best game development teams out there. Even so much I would like to try to apply for a job in the next future.

Thank you so much for everything. I got literal chills! Nothing and I mean NOTHING can even come close to this announcement on the Game Awards today. I hope yall have an great development time. Can't await to know what you guys have in the oven, am just so really happy I... can't even describe it

This is literally a dream come true! My boyfriend and I got addicted to Hades during lockdown, we were alternating between either streaming our gameplay or watching the other's stream about their run. We were racing each other to complete the heat challenges (we did all of them). It was insanely fun. We had so many theories about how we'd envision a sequel and now it's here!!! Or soon it'll be. I am beyond thrilled. Hades got hooked us on Bastion and Pyre as well - those games broke our hearts too in the sweetest way possible. SuperGiant is my absolute favourite gaming company ❤️ and I bet the OST will be lit as usual.

Reading comments about the protagonists gender just makes me laugh. It's a video game. Just enjoy it as a time consuming break from reality where you can feel that nostalgia from childhood again.

I've never been able to stop raving about the first Hades game ever since it came out. Literally _everything_ from the art to the animation to the music to the characters even the damn menu design is just so carefully thought out. You can tell every part of their team puts a lot of love and care into every detail and it just makes me so happy and even MORE excited to see this game because you just know the same love and care has gone into this too.

I love how this studio started out in the early days of indie development, back when it was a very rare thing for an indie studio to just come along and make a full scale game, especially a 3d one. even if top down and limited it was a great feat in a time were many weren't looking for such a thing; its very rare for a game studio to go make something with all their effort just for the passion and idea of making good ass games. Seeing successes in people like this is always a joy to me. And with yet another great title coming, my excitement has peaked.
