It also goes without saying that you will be repeating many, many runs with randomly generated rooms and enemies.

The perspective and basic flow of clearing rooms, choosing between boons given by different gods and unleashing special attacks all look to return. The trailer shows off a bit of gameplay that looks quite similar to the first game. Chronos, along with Hades and other Godly figures, have escaped the Underworld to begin a war on the Gods of Olympus which Melinoe seeks to prevent. Melinoe is on a quest to free her father Zeus from the Titan of Time, Chronos. Knowledge of the first game, or Greek mythology in general, will lead to some satisfying connections. It will be a direct sequel to the events of Hades but have a completely independent story.

Being the brother of the original protagonist Zagreus, she is also based on an existing mythological figure. The very stylish and well-animated trailer introduces us to the new protagonist of Hades 2, Melinoe, the Princess of the Underworld and immortal witch.
