Developer Supergiant Games has announced a Technical Test for their upcoming Action RPG roguelike sequelHades 2. According to Supergiant, the Technical Test is a key step leading into the Early Access launch ofHades 2which is getting closer. Those interested in participating in the Technical Test can do so on theHades 2Steam Pageby clicking the green Request Access button.
Supergiant plans to start with a small subset of players being allowed into the test, and then add more as the more emergent bugs are fixed. Once the team is confident things are more stable, it will wrap up the test and then launch Early Access soon after. While there is no planned duration for the test, Supergiant estimates it will be longer than a week but shorter than a month, meaning depending on how things go it’s possibleHades 2could be launching in Early Access in the very near future.
Those granted access to the Technical Test will be able to play through the first major area and experience the ARPG’s early-game content including characters and systems. For comparison, Supergiant says to picture the originalHadeswithout being able to progress past Tartarus.
Player testing and feedback from Early Access was a huge part of shapingHadesinto an absolutely superb breakout title in the roguelike genre, so hopefully following a similar development style will have the same result forHades 2. I’m ready to take on the Titan of Time!
