Regular readers among you will know that I’m rather partial to a bit of Hades II, and so you won’t be surprised to find out that I was delighted to read about today’s big content drop: The Unseen Update.
This is the third major content update during the game’s now year-long journey through Early Access, but unlike the others, The Unseen Update offers a huge injection of systems-driven tweaks and changes, rather than a big standout feature.
The patch notes are extensive and I’ll not try and condense them here for you as I’d surely miss something important. If you want to get lost in the weeds, you can read the full update over on Steam, however, in the shortest terms possible:
The Unseen Update includes a new Hidden Aspect for every one of the Nocturnal Arms, a variation of each Guardian Encounter, and new story bits, art and music, as well as a bunch of community-driven changes.
Here are the highlights as shared on the Steam post:
· Hidden Aspects: Each of the Nocturnal Arms now has a secret, final form to discover…
· Vow of Rivals: Reveal this in the Oath of the Unseen for all-new challenges from each Guardian
· Revamped Umbral Flames: The Flames of Ygnium now offer a smoother, snappier fighting style
· Godsent Hexes: The Path of Stars now can infuse each Selene Hex with a new Olympian power
· Forge Bonds: Grow closer than ever to a variety of characters in numerous new optional events
· New Wardens: Watch out for powerful new foes in Erebus and the City of Ephyra
· Shinier Artwork: Look for new visual flourishes such as ambient effects on character portraits
· New Music: Listen for new pieces including a hot new single from a certain band…
Now, behold the new update trailer below, should thine eyes require further evidence of… The Unseen Update!
