Hades II is a 2025 roguelike action role-playing game developed and published by Supergiant Games, serving as a sequel to Hades (2020), making it their first project as a sequel. It was announced in December 2022 and was released in early access in May 2024 for Windows and in October 2024 for macOS, with the full game released alongside console versions for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in September 2025. The game follows Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld and sister to Zagreus, the protagonist of the first game. Melinoë aims to defeat Chronos, the Titan of Time, with the aid of other Olympian Gods. Hades II received critical acclaim for its gameplay, art style, music, and voice acting, although its ending on release received some criticism. The game won multiple year-end awards, including "Best Action Game" at The Game Awards 2025 and "Action Game of the Year" at the 29th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards.
