"Hades 2" will be released in Early Access later this year, but if you can't wait that long, you can get an early taste by signing up for the technical test announced today on Steam.

The technical test for Hades 2 is limited in scope compared to the Early Access version: developer Supergiant Games says that the test version includes "the first major area of the game and other early characters, systems and content." It also seems unlikely that not everyone who registers will be able to see even a small portion of it.

"Some players who request access will be invited by Steam via email with download instructions," Supergiant said.

"And Supergiant states. So even if you don't get invited to the technical testing right away, you may get invited later. Our process boils down to inviting some players, fixing the problems they encounter, and then inviting more players.

We are also wondering how long the technical testing of "Yomigaeri 2" will last, but this is also a fluid situation: "longer than a week, shorter than a month" is the current estimate.

Despite those constraints, there is a lot of excitement about the technical testing: the original "Yomigaeri," released in 2020, received a 90% review score here on PC Gamer and an "overwhelmingly positive" rating in nearly 230,000 user reviews on Steam The game has been in the works for a long time. Fans have long been waiting for more news, and the looming technical test is good news for those who were unable to attend: Supergiant aims to get this test up and running "as quickly as possible," after which an early access launch will take place, allowing everyone to play the game stating that

"we will be doing this as quickly as possible".

"It is important for us to start the upcoming early access with as few technical issues as possible. We are very much looking forward to sharing the game with you soon and appreciate your patience and support during our preparations."
