Supergiant Answers 78 Rapid-Fire Questions About Hades II 

The image of Greg wearing Hypnos' sleep mask and snoring in a hammock brings me joy.

"Is there a greek god that isn't horrible?" Yes, and her name is Hestia, Goddess of Hearth and Home.

"Is she slowly turning into Skelly?" "Now she is." No notes.

R1 to brood

GOATS of the Industry. The SuperGiant team was top-tier all the way back when Bastion was released.

“you can be playing now” that cut to the game was immaculate

Apollo is good at everything .. except having lovers who don't meet with a horrible fate

Nice, interviewing the team behind Game of the Year 2025

Petition to get Danny DeVito in the final build!

If I was interviewing, I’d be asking “what’s the 6th weapon” every few questions to try to catch them off-guard 😂

Mel leaning towards Emo/Goth industrial 90s, The Smiths, LOVE it.

This is how video game interviews ought to be. Pretty awkward with two nerds(who are pretty cool). If people are charismatic, they can deceive you. These dudes let their straightforward and amazing answers show the game’s strength.

15:35 now that's quality editing!

I used to always watch Greg Kasavin's reviews on Gamespot as my favorite reviewer there. That was almost 2 decades ago now. Awesome to see how far he has come in his game developer journey!

Petition for Supergiant to make a game based on Japanese and Chinese mythology in the future!

Greg was Gamespot back when I was a youth. I remember his review of Baldur's Gate 2.

im pressing r1 to brood as i watch this.

I'm really hoping noclip was documenting the development of Hades II the way they did the first game! Would love to get even more in-depth into the behind-the-scenes stuff!

Hades 2 is already incredible its hard to imagine them making a better game than hades 1 but I think they did just that!

8:49 this is the best thing they've said!

HADES series is absolutely stunning! The gameplay, combat, variability, art, storytelling... pure art.

Man, this is some of the best rollout of questions I've seen for an interview in a while

This was a fun and actually informative interview. Nice work!

This interview is really great work

Sounds like Melinoë would listen to Secret of the Runes by Therion! 🤘

This was such a good interview! Thank you for this

Feels great having a rog ally and being able to play this ❤ ive been a console guy my whole life

When the devs very precisely know what they're making. Love them ❤🎉

"It takes place chronologically after Hades " Not sure if deliberate word choice or just linguistic coincidence.

"How do we answer this question without answering it?" *Moves onto next question* 10/10

40k fans getting really angry all of a sudden when they hear the word "Erebus".

“Apollo is basically good at everything.” Except keeping his lovers alive Oooooooooooo- I should avoid going outside under the sun for a while.

6:04 For a brief moment I thought he asked if you could raise your *bong* with other characters. LMAO

That was awesome. You can tell they had fun talking and joking around about the game and the mythology. A1 interviewer and this only made me like Supergiant more.

Question 79: Is Eris's "Blessing" an anti-Fresh File% mechanic? 😂😂

Good video! Just really unfortunate the audio is weird

Super entertaining and fun interview 😂

6:45 so ur saying melinoe would listen to NIN and HEALTH?

this is the best interview ive ever seen

I remember watching Greg’s Elder Scolls Oblivion preview.

Good questions and good answers 👍

My bro!!

fun interview

Audio goofed outside of that nice

How fast could Kratos clear this?

Please mic the interviewer, fun video thou!!

Greg Kasavinnnnnnn!!!!

6:40 bro is definitely an Emperor and NIN fan 😭

This is so dope also I’m begging you to RX Mouth De-Click your lav mics

it would be cool if Medusa or Sisyphus show up in Olympus as bosses

phoebe bridgers would be huge for melinoë

So thats why Chronos is the titan of time! I was always confused because from what little i knew, is that he was some kind of agriculture deity and thats why he used a Sickle

Gamespot legend Greg Kasavin

There’s a few spoilers in this video about characters in 2 (that I’ve not yet gotten to) so if folks want to stay spoiler free I’d give this a miss. It’s lovely to see these two in such good spirits

6:36 just keeping this here for now

There has been numerous Greek mythology games, also Scandinavian/Viking mythology has been explored as well. Chinese mythology is doming up with Black Myth: Wukong. Here's hoping someone to come up with a proper Mahabharata game.

“Does Nickolas cage voice any characters in hades II?”

Best devs in the game right now. Cant wait for Olympus

The guy on the left looks and sounds SO familiar.

The moon is infinite. All hail the moon.

Supergiant Lads keeping it 💯

My question would have been if they want to make a third game, featuring the third Hade's child next

Press R1 to Brood

It's wild to me that Greg is the mastermind behind some of the greatest games of recent times. I remember dude reviewing games for GameSpot back in the day, so sad when he left but it all turned out for the best! man I am old

🐐🐐

depending on what sources you consult hades has 0 to 4 children: Pluto god of wealth, Zagreus god of hunt (catching more than killing), Macaria goddess of the blessed death and Melinoe goddess of funerals

when ya know your lore...

The audio in this is a little weird?

Only been there once, but Philippine mythology is severely undiscovered and an untapped storyline.

Greg looks the same now as he did 20 years ago.

Amir Rao is so handsome 😍

him admitting hephestus is kinda op makes me feel so smart cuz i just KNEW he was a bit busted LOLL

Scandinavian symphonic metal?? 😂😂😂

I wanted to know if they like Zagreus more or Melinoe

“too early to say” 😭 dang i REALLY hope they release hades 2 on console

PLEASE don't nerf Haeph. It isn't easy to make it op, but feels rewarding to.

iPad. What about iPads? I loved playing hades on my ipad

Please dont nerf hephaestus, bring all the other buffs up to his level

Hades 2 runs like a dream on Steam Deck just btw so no worries there if you were worried about that.

the other guy who make the previous rapid fire question is 1000 times better than this guy,

Are we going to see games featuring the other two Hades children?

Hades 3 with Roman mythology or Norse..that would be amazing as well to see.

2:39 As in...God of War Kratos? Or is there a Kratos in Hades II?

Do you guys the interviewer completed Hades 1?

The guy on the left in the thumbnail looks like if Gilbert Gottfried was reincarnated as a super nerdy game designer. 😂

1st question, do you believe in God? Nice! lol

Omg I watched clash of the titans as a kid but I'm half the age

Percy Jackson not being mentioned as a great use of Greek Mythology in media genuinely hurt my feelings here.

That game would be the absolute best game I've played all year long... If I wasn't met with the infamous "fatal error, failed to meet minimum system requirement"... On my souped up HP Zbook X2 workstation (with 32Gigs ram, Directx12, Nvidia Quadro M600 with the latest driver... sure, it's from 2018, but still, you're not going to tell me a $4k workstation is less powerful than a steamdeck ?). Tried everything that was on the book and nothing works. I still can't play the game. And from the looks of it on the forums, I'm far from being the only one. I hope some of the devs can look into this issue quickly, as it's blocking quite a lot of people all over the world to have early access to their game, hindering lot of valuable feedback, which is kinda the point of early access. Other than that, awesome interview ! It's great to peek a bit into their minds about the future of the game (and great editing at the end on the brooding). If you're looking for other quality pieces of medias that feature Greek Mythologies, the ones that sparked my interest when I was a kid were Ulysse 31, a fantastic French/Japanese cartoon of the 80's about the Odysseus but in a futuristic Star Wars sci-ci epic universe, and Saint Seiya, one of the most quintessential shonen animes of history (with fantastic characters, art direction, and my goodness the music ! I'm sure Jen Zee, the chara designer and concept artist of Supergiant Game is an old fan already, seeing as how she designed the "bronze" armors of Asterius and Theseus in the first game), which borrows heavily on greek mythology (most of the big gods are there) while keeping a fairly creative freedom out of it (they don't necessarily behave or serve the same roles like in the myths). Now, LET ME PLAAAAY !!!!

They make a game based around orphic cult mythology and their favorite myth isn't Orpheus 😂😂😂

Since Homer is the narrator of Hades I and II, it is 9th century BC at the earliest, except there are better context clues in Hades I. Not looking at Greek mythology itself, but in the Aspects. Guan Yu lived from 160 AD to 220 AD King Arthur might’ve been a military leader in the 5th century AD, but all we know is that his story was first written as legend in the 1130s AD. Beowulf as publication was disputed between 700 to 1000 AD. Lucifer as a name for the Christian Devil was first found in the 4th century AD version of the King James Bible, for “morning star”, being the planet Venus. Rama and Gilgamesh wouldn’t push the date in the slightest. So I’d say it takes place in the 5th to 7th century AD.

Hephesteus boon getting neefed you heard it here

Hades 3 - Greeks vs Vikings confirmed?😮

"How did Chronos have Nyx under control? Nyx should be much more powerful than him."

Japanese hades

I can't hear the black guys microphone too low

the tiles in the background of this infuriate me

mean while the game is locked by system requirements. i feel so bad for people who bought the game and couldn't even play it.

some of these questions should have stayed in the drafts. Annoying af

Love Supergiant Games but I just can't get behind giving so much coverage to any game that is still in early access.
