Hades 2 lead says the best boons from Early Access weren’t killed, just reskinned: “We think it’s important not to be too precious about these things”

Hades 2 Developer Supergiant Games understands that moving on is difficult. You could always miss some early access roguelike features, but try not to dwell on it. Creative director Greg Kasavin assures players that some of these “missing” Gifts are still present in the final game – they're just different.

“In the specific case of Forge Sprint,” Kasavin tells GamesRadar+ of the powerful Gift that causes explosions when dashed, “we wanted something simpler and easier to use for one of the Forge God's main Gifts, although within that we moved the general concept of 'keep sprinting for a big bang' to become an integral part of the Nyx Aspect of the Black Coat weapon. So please check it out if you haven't! I really enjoy using it personally. Sometimes Gifts and Abilities ideas find new uses this way!”
