New Hades 2 Update Released With Patch Notes

Supergiant’s has unleashed its latest Hades 2 update today. The game, which is still in early access, has been a massive success on PC, garnering a cult following with its first installment Hades being a critically acclaimed indie game. Hades 2 keeps that torch alive and has proven to continue the tradition of its dungeon-crawler roguelike RPG gameplay. A Hades 2 Warsong update was released last week and these specific changes, which would be the third major update for the sequel, deal with targeted adjustments for a smoother play experience.

This Hades 2 update isn’t too big, given that we saw the larger one released last week, but there are some key adjustments within. For example, there are increases in Nocturnal Arms and Abilities, which tackle fixes on the Sister Blades and Argent Skull. Several items have also been fixed including the Black Coat, Fig Leaf, and Nova Flourish.

For those who want to see the new Hades 2 Warsong Patch 8 Update, the details are below.
