Supergiant launches “The Big Bad Update” for Hades

Supergiant Games continues to tinker away at Hades, their roguelike dungeon crawler that was originally released in December, and the developer recently dropped the game’s sixth major update… “The Big Bad Update.”

“The Big Bad Update” finally adds a final boss to the game, as well new enemies, new story events, new environments, and new powerups. Here’s a look at all the highlights from “The Big Bad Update” as found on Supergiant’s official website:

Highlights From Hades’s “The Big Bad Update”

  • Temple of Styx: An all-new, labyrinthine biome awaits at the very edge of the Underworld.
  • Final Battle: There is no escape from the Underworld; at least not without a fight.
  • Sinister New Foes: Beware of Gigantic Vermin, Satyr Cultists, and more; plus deadly new traps!
  • Wrath Rework: Now you can call upon divine aid from Olympus much more often during battle.
  • Pool of Purging: Rid yourself of the occasional unwanted Boon, in exchange for some coin.
  • New Boons & ‘Duo’ Boons: The Olympians have a slew of powerful, new blessings on offer.
  • New Story Events: More of the Underworld Prince’s story unfolds if you can reach the Temple.
  • New Music: Not one but two blood-boiling new tracks to accompany the new setting.

Hades is now available in Early Access for the PC exclusively through the Epic Games Store.
