Hades 2 - Melinoe Princess of the Underworld

The Unseen

The Unseen reside within the Crossroads, a hidden realm nestled between Olympus and the Underworld. As steadfast allies, they become familiar companions in your nightly ventures.

Among them are the enigmatic shade Dora, the strategic mind Odysseus, and the offspring of Nyx - Nemesis, Hypnos and Moros.

New Gods

The most exciting draw for Hades 2 is definitely the new Gods and Goddesses that will aid Melinoe on her adventure. Like in the first game, these Olympians will lend their aid in the form of blessings and boons that will empower you on your quest.

So far we've been shown Apollo, the God of Light, Hephaestus, the God of the Forge, and Hestia, the Goddess of the Flame.
