Buckle up, fellow underworld enthusiasts, because the hype train for Hades II is officially leaving the station! That’s right, Supergiant Games is revving up for the sequel to their smash-hit, genre-defining roguelite, and they’re kicking things off with a Technical Test that’s sure to make even the most stoic of deities crack a smile.
I know what you’re thinking: “But how can I, a mere mortal, descend to the spicy abyss of the Hades II Technical Test?” Fear not, dear reader, for I come bearing tidings of joy and easy-to-follow instructions!
Step 1: Summon your inner hero and head to the Hades II Steam Page. It’s like a digital gateway to the underworld but with significantly fewer Cerberus pets.
Step 2: Once you’ve arrived at this sacred site, behold the majestic button marked “Request Access.” Click it with the same gusto you’d use to slay a particularly pesky Hydra, and your journey has officially begun.
Step 3: Now, sit back, relax, and await the divine judgment of the gaming gods. If you’re deemed worthy (read: lucky), you’ll receive an email from Steam with instructions on downloading and joining the Technical Test.
But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just any ol’ test; it’s a unique opportunity to dive headfirst into the fiery depths of Hades II, albeit with a slightly smaller pool of content. Just imagine: you’re storming through Tartarus like the mythological powerhouse you are, only to be gently reminded that your journey ends here, for now. It’s like being handed a Pom of Power and then told you can’t eat it—rude but necessary for the greater good.
Now, I can hear eager souls clamouring, asking, “But when does it start? How long will it last?” Fear not, for Supergiant Games has answers! They aim to kick off this epic adventure with a small group of players before gradually expanding the horizons like an unfolding epic poem. The duration? Somewhere between “longer than a week” and “shorter than a month.” It’s the gaming equivalent of a power nap.
And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: Melinoë, the enigmatic new protagonist poised to revolutionise the underworld. If Hades was a hit for its sharp writing, gorgeous visuals, and addictive gameplay, then Hades II promises to be the sequel that gods and gamers alike have prayed for.
So there you have it, folks! The gates of Hades II are swinging wide open, and you’re invited to be part of gaming history. Sign up, suit up, and prepare to embark on a journey hotter than a thousand suns. Until then, may your arrows fly true, and your dodges be ever nimble. See you in the underworld!
