Hades II's full release turned one on September 25, 2026. To mark the anniversary, Supergiant announced Developing Hell II, a multi-part Noclip documentary about the making of the sequel. The first episode is available through the studio's anniversary post.

There is also a full video of Ballads of the Underworld, the orchestral concert performed at London's Royal Festival Hall in June. It brings music from the Hades games to the stage, with composer Darren Korb and conductor Austin Wintory involved in the performance.

This is an anniversary update, rather than an announcement of another game or expansion. Supergiant also shared new artwork and merchandise to celebrate the occasion.

Our take: the documentary is a useful next stop if you are interested in how the studio builds combat, music, and character writing into the same repeatable adventure.
