Internet, say hello to Zagreus' half-sister and a lesser-known product of one of Zeus' many dalliances, this time with Persephone.
Four years after Supermassive Games unveiled Hades to the rest of the world at the very same event, Geoff Keighley pulled back the curtain on the studio's first-ever sequel. Hades 2 is a follow-up to one of 2020's best games. Just like its predecessor, Hades 2 will follow a similar path in development. It will be initially launched as an Early Access title with more news to follow next year.
After taking us on a romp through Greek mythology, with a cameo from Kratos to boot, Hades 2 will follow a different denizen of the Underworld. Instead of Zagreus, Hades 2 will put players in the shoes of the "Princess of the Underworld". Apparently, the unnamed deity is on a quest to free her father, Zeus, from the crutches of her grandfather and the King of the Titans, Chronos.
As we've already mentioned, Supermassive Games refused to name Zagreus' half-sister in the initial trailer. But, we do know that they're not 100% blood-related because she refers to Zeus as her father. This implies that Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, had an illicit affair with Zeus, which is all sorts of f'd up considering that Persephone is her daughter with Demeter.
