In a new post on X/Twitter, Supergiant Games announced an upcoming Hades II Technical Test along with instructions on how to join. The goal of the technical test is to ensure that the upcoming Early Access release has a "smooth play experience from the start." It will have much less content than the Early Access version — including the first major area of the game and early-game characters — and it will only be available to a "relatively small subset" of players who sign up to play. "If you played the original game, imagine a version where you couldn't get past Tartarus even if you vanquished its guardian," Supergiant explains on its [URL='https://www.supergiantgames.com/blog']website[/URL]. Players who complete the area a number of times will see a "gentle suggestion" to discontinue play. [H2]How to join the Hades II Technical Test[/H2] To sign up for the Hades II Technical Test, you need only go to the [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145350/Hades_II/']Hades II Steam Page[/URL] and click the button marked "Request Access." If you're invited to participate, you will receive an email from Steam with download instructions. "We expect to start with a small player population, then grow it over time," Supergiant explains.
