Early access for Hades 2 received its first big update. Several changes have been made to the gameplay, and one of them will change the lives of players in the way they collect resources.
Hades 2 received its first big update since its Early Access launch. On May 16, Supergiant Games released a long patch note, listing several changes. One of them will make life easier for those who have already invested hours in the game and have undoubtedly railed against the way in which the gameplay organizes the collection of resources.

Hades 2 indeed incorporates crafting, a new feature that allows you to make objects, cast incantations or even make weapons. However, Mélinoé needs resources for this, and these require collection tools. At launch, Supergiant Games imposed a painful limit: at the start of each attempt, you had to choose a specific tool to amass the linked resource, then sacrificing the others. The new version of the game does away with this constraint.
Supergiant Games is already improving Hades 2 gameplay
“ You can now harvest any resource as long as you have unlocked the corresponding tool; you can prioritize a tool available at the Crossroads to make the corresponding resource appear more often, while the resources of tools that we have not prioritized will appear less often », Indicate the developers.
This means that you will be able to mine a rock without having the pickaxe on you. This change makes it possible to soften the random side of the game a little and to reward players more with each run (resources do not disappear with death).
Resource scarcity remains significant. We selected the tablet to purify souls, and there was not a shadow of a rock to mine in our session ended at the start of the third act. Hades 2 don't intend to be too generous either, otherwise the craft would be much too simple.

Supergiant Games has also applied modifications to sprinting (faster, with easier turns to negotiate) and dodging (easier chaining), among other bug fixes and more marginal changes.
It was feedback from the community that pushed the developers to make these changes – and another update is already in the works. This is precisely what early access is for: Supergiant Games has plenty of time to work on Hades 2 until the final version expected for 2025, depending on its observations and the opinions that the studio collects. A constructive process which will lead to a Hades 2 Perfect.
