SuperGiant has recently released the official playtest of the highly anticipated Hades 2. I was fortunate enough to participate in the test and experience the game in its rawest form. So far, what I have witnessed is amazing. But will it be able to live up to or even surpass the colossal reputation of its predecessor is yet to be seen.

It took me five runs to complete the playtest which is restricted to the first zone of the game. By the time I ended it, I had come across a bunch of new faces as well as some of my old favorites. This article has compiled all the new and old Gods confirmed so far in the Hades 2 playtest.

Starting the list with my favorite, making her grand return in the sequel is the Goddess of Love, Fertility, Beauty and War, Aphrodite. While in the first game, this pink-haired flirty Goddess was all about the kisses and scandals, this time she is in her battle-ready mode.

This is understandable because what I pieced together from the snippets of the story in the playtest, it seems like the Titan Chronos has not only taken over Hades but is also burning the mortal world as well as the Olympus. When the enemy is at the door, even the Goddess of Love has to pick up her spear.

The divine huntress and my second favorite God in the first game, Artemis, has also made a return in the sequel. But this time, she is more of a pal than a divine guardian. In Hades 2, Artemis has come down from her throne in Olympus and joined the battle in the field against the Titan.

Yes, in Hades 2 Artemis can join you. But when she does that is completely random. She is very much like the Thanatos in the game. Artemis may appear on a random level and shoot arrows at your enemies. You can compete against her and try to kill more
