Supergiant Games Tampers Down Expectations for Hades 3 Following Hades 2 Launch
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Supergiant Games has clarified that Hades 3 is not currently in development, as the studio focuses entirely on celebrating the successful 1.0 launch of Hades 2.
As reported by Game Rant in a piece by Dominik Bošnjak, Supergiant Games has confirmed that a third installment in the acclaimed action roguelike series is far from guaranteed. Following the recent 1.0 launch of Hades 2, studio director Amir Rao spoke with prominent community creator Haelian about the future of the franchise.
Rao stated that a threequel is not preordained, noting that Supergiant strictly operates as a one project at a time studio. When the team is heads down building a game, they simply do not discuss what comes next. This development philosophy relies heavily on an iterative process where the game acts as its own design document, building and refining content based on real time community feedback rather than mapping out long term franchises years in advance.
Because of this approach, readers looking ahead should understand that Hades 3 is not currently in active development. Meanwhile, Hades 2 is seeing massive success right now, pulling in concurrent player numbers on Steam that rival its early access peak and selling at twice the velocity of the original game. While the studio will likely pivot to post launch fixes and balancing patches rather than major content expansions or DLC, the current focus remains entirely on letting players dive into the underworld sequel.
