I am 99% sure this is not how it's going to go down, but you know what would be a really cool way for Mel and Zag to meet in Hades 2?
Mel finds her way to somewhere on the surface. Zag appears, fresh out of the underworld, desperately trying to reach her and tell her as much as he can...and then he falls face first into a newly apparated puddle of the Styx, which pulls him right back down to the Underworld.
Zag's braved his father's domain in order to reach a blonde-haired female relative he never got the chance to know once already, right? How perfect would it be if he's still been up to it, only this time he's been trying to reach his baby sister instead of his mother?
We already saw what that looked like from Zag's perspective. How cool would it be to see it from the other way around?
As Melinoë, the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you'll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the Titan's forces with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment. New locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and surprises await as you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld again and again.
Like her brother Zagreus from the original game, Melinoë is not a character of our own invention, and is based on an ancient Underworld deity thought to be related to Hades. What little ancient mythology exists about her was more than enough to make us want to explore her story and connection to her family, and in so doing, expand on our vision of the Underworld!
What’s better than one Hades game? A second Hades game. We’re so happy with how this trailer came out and are excited to announce Hades 2 with Supergiant Games.
