Only Switch 2 for now? Good, the next couple of months are stacked as is lol, day 1 whenever it hits PS5. Based on my experience with Hades though I think yet another GOTY contender might be entering the fray, what a crazy year.

Damn, it's coming out so soon! This is another huge release.

I feel kind of bad for the Baby Steps devs, who moved their release date to late Sept to avoid the Silksong release. Now they have to contend with another heavy-hitting indie.

I would like to know as well. Also, is it annoyingly woke? I remember some stuff about the art being suspect. I'm a huge fan of the first and waited until full release.

There's some race swapped characters, Hephaestus is fat and they made Hestia an overweight black old lady with vitiligo.
But other than that nothing seems particularly woke. And this is a super stylized version of greek mythology anyway, it has never presented itself as some accurate depiction of it.

Yeah, I wasn't looking for accuracy or anything. Those changes seem pretty ridiculous, but as long as the game isn't preachy and is fun, I don't care.

I played through the first three updates in Early Access, essentially half of the "story". Some people were whining about it being "woke" because the main character is female, and they put Hephaestus in a wheelchair, which is all pretty fucking dumb. I'm not sure if I would say this is better than the original, which is one of my favorite games of the last 10 years, but it's up there. The main character's move sets are wildly different from the first game, which I think is great because it makes this game feel like its own thing, but some people didn't like it in Early Access saying it didn't "feel" right, whatever that means.

Like the first game, the voice acting is top-notch and plentiful. The story is outstanding. Some things this does better than the first, like weapon variety and a kind of tarot card system that lets you assign perks based on skill points. The game itself is at least twice as big as the first game, which was kind of hinted at in the trailer ("You know me head mistress, I'll do both").

Lots to look forward to here if you're a fan of the first game.

sounds fire. thanks!
 
Switch 2 physical version is not a game key card, full version on the cart. Coming a bit later though (November 20th)

We're excited to offer a retail version of Hades II for Nintendo Switch 2 later this year! This version, which is also compatible with the original Nintendo Switch, comes on a standard physical game card and also includes a full-color Character Compendium booklet with artwork from the game, a download code for the Hades II Original Soundtrack (featuring nearly four hours of music!), and a reversible cover. The retail edition will cost $49.99 in North America.

Btw is the music from the animated part of the trailer part of the OST? Anyone know which specific track (the OST seems to be on youtube, but I can't find the exact song).
 
Physical edition is actually $49.99, the previous $39.99 was apparently an error
