It took Hades II 24 hours to reach a peak online of 100+ thousand players, which is almost three times more than in the first part

We wrote that Hades II set a peak online rate twice as high as that of the first part on the first day. But when a couple of hours have passed since the news was written, Supergiant Games' roguelite has set a new record.

Here's What We Know

When the game was in Steam Early Access for only 24 hours, its peak online was already 103,567 players. We would like to remind you that the peak online of Hades for the whole time is 38 thousand players. At the same time, the game has 96% of positive reviews, and it wasn't even a full release.

For those who don't know

The events of the game, as in Part 1, will again take place in ancient Greek mythology, and the main character of the sequel is Melinoë. She is the daughter of Hades and the sister of Zagrei, the protagonist of the first part. This time, the main antagonist will not be Hades, but the titan Kronos. He has escaped from his imprisonment and is going to unleash a war against the divine pantheon, and the main character must defeat him. The developers also promise many new and long-familiar characters, weapons, magic, new terrains, trials, improvements and surprises.
