Bastion developer's new game Hades announced and available now

Via Early Access on the Epic Games Store.

Supergiant Games, the studio behind Bastion and Transistor, has announced its latest project Hades.

It's another isometric action game, this time set in a comic book-inspired Ancient Greece.

Most exciting, perhaps? It's available to play right now in early access via Epic's brand new Game Store, priced £17.99.

"Defy the god of death as you hack and slash your way out of the Underworld in this rogue-like dungeon crawler from the creators of Bastion and Transistor," its blurb reads. "Play In Early Access: This is a living game in active development! Expect regular updates with new features, events, characters, places, powers, and more."
