The second major update for Hades II includes a 'final confrontation' and other new features.

You can also receive gifts from the god of war. (No, I’m not referring to that.)

The recent update for Hades II, known as the Warsong Update, introduces several intriguing elements, including an enigmatic "final confrontation." This new content also features changes to the Ashen Altar and the return of Ares, the god of war. In this update, which is part of the game's ongoing improvements, the "Final Confrontation on the Surface" has been revealed, a highlighted aspect that invites players to discover what lies beyond the Guardian of Olympus, albeit with the warning that they may face imminent dangers.

In this context, Ares brings with him "Varied and Wild Blessings," fitting for such a bloodthirsty god. Additionally, the Ashen Altar has been updated with new artistic elements, revised Arcana effects, and the inclusion of a new Animal Familiar, among other adjustments.

The Warsong update is free and downloads automatically, though it is important to remember that Hades II is still in early access. Looking at the early access duration of the first game, a public release is not likely to be imminent. Players can already explore this new content on Windows and macOS through platforms like Steam or Epic.
