We were first introduced to Hades 2 last year when it was announced, but there is still no official release date. Early access will be the first step, just like it was for the original game, with a tentative timeframe set for the second quarter of 2024. It seems that Supergiant is getting closer to this date, as sign-ups for the first playtest are now open. This technical test is a crucial milestone before early access, allowing for the resolution of any technical issues before a wider audience gets their hands on the game. Here’s how you can be part of a select team to experience the game before anyone else.
How to sign up for the Hades 2 technical test
According to the developers, the technical test will include the first major area of the game, along with early-game characters, systems, and content. The exact date and selection process are still unclear, so it’s best to register as soon as possible. Even if you’re not chosen initially, more players will be included gradually. The test is expected to run for approximately one week to one month.
Step 1: Visit the Hades 2 Steam page.
Step 2: Scroll down to the Hades 2 Playtest section, and while logged into Steam, click on Request Access.
Step 3: That’s all you need to do. If you’re selected, you will receive an email to the associated Steam account with instructions on how to download and play the playtest once it’s available.
