Enemy has time powers so I guess there's some time-based shenanigans and it's a sequel-prequel like with Valkyrie Profile 2.

Did they say who the MC is?

Guaranteed to be the hypest announcement of the night.

It's almost guaranteed to be good as a Supergiants Game, but do kinda wish that it was something totally different like how they usually do.

Supergiant Games is doing a sequel? What kind of weird alternate universe is this?

Hades II is a direct sequel taking place sometime after the events of the original game. No prior knowledge of the original Hades is needed, though there are plenty of connections!

As Melino, the immortal Princess of the Underworld...

Yeah at first I thought prequel and then I saw someone comment on how "Meg and Zag got busy", so if you look at the MC as their daughter + the person in chains not as Hades, but as a grown Zagreus who took over the mantle (and the laurels)...

I am suitably hyped in any case!!!

Oh, got an email from Supergiant with a bit more info.

shes officially Zags sister, not daughter.

Like her brother Zagreus from the original game, Melino is not a character of our own invention, and is based on an ancient Underworld deity thought to be related to Hades. What little ancient mythology exists about her was more than enough to make us want to explore her story and connection to her family, and in so doing, expand on our vision of the Underworld!

and the villain is Hades dad, Chronos

Ah I feel like a daughter-rescuing-imprisoned-father-Zagreus story would've been neat but I guess this makes more sense... canonically?

I would never accept this since my Zagreus is with Thanatos and not Meg.

We do not have much connection, you and I. Still, this encounter feels special. I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend.

Supergiant has only ever made 2 good games, Bastion and Hades anyway so I'm glad they decided to make another good game instead of doing something different.

I really enjoy when Supergiant delves into the story and lore and characters. It's why I loved Pyre so much.

Not saying that Hades doesn't have interesting characters and lore, but that's definitely not the focus of the game. Hades has hella Fun gameplay and I'm sure Hades 2 will be just as fun, but it's just not going to hit that character sweetspot like Pyre did for me :(

For some, the focus of Hades is very much on the characters. That's a big part of why it succeeded for people who aren't rogue-like fans.

The lore was definitely why I enjoyed Hades. The roguelite part was just a vehicle to more lore dumps for me. Although still enjoyable it wasn't the driving factor for me

Uhhh what. Don't even know how to respond to this. It sounds like you just don't like Supergiant games I guess? They make great games so it's almost guaranteed to be excellent
