SAN FRANCISCO: When Supergiant Games was wrapping up Hades, a mythologically rich hack-and-slash dungeon crawler it had spent more than three years developing, the studio concluded it was not quite done. The game’s premise of being trapped in hell, which particularly resonated during the pandemic, had opened paths to untold stories about Greek lore.
It needed a sequel.
