Get ready for the epic journey as Hades, the acclaimed roguelike masterpiece from Supergiant Games, makes its way to iOS devices through Netflix Games on March 19. The streaming giant officially announced the release date for Apple’s mobile platform, with pre-registrations now open for this thrilling action title. Originally launched on Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac in 2020, followed by PlayStation and Xbox platforms a year later, Hades has captivated gamers worldwide. Now, all Netflix subscribers will have the chance to dive into the underworld for free on their iOS devices.
Netflix confirmed the iOS release date for Hades on X (formerly Twitter), unveiling a captivating trailer and opening pre-registrations for eager players. While Netflix Games typically releases titles on both iOS and Android, Hades will be an exclusive addition to the Netflix Games library on iOS, with no plans for an Android port by developers Supergiant.
Hades, alongside indie darlings Braid and Death’s Door, was announced for mobile as part of Netflix Games last November. In this roguelike dungeon crawler, players assume the role of Zagreus, the brooding son of Hades, as he embarks on a quest to escape the depths of hell and ascend Mount Olympus. With each run, players unravel the gripping narratives and uncover the secrets of the underworld.
Having garnered immense critical acclaim, Hades was nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2020, ultimately clinching honors for Best Action Game and Best Indie Game. The excitement doesn’t stop there, as Supergiant Games is already working on a sequel, Hades II, confirmed at The Game Awards 2022. While a precise release date remains undisclosed, Supergiant has hinted at an Early Access launch in the second quarter of 2024 on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Netflix Games, boasting a library of over 80 titles that are all free to play for subscribers on mobile, continues to expand its offerings with major releases like Hades, in addition to an array of smaller and indie games. Notably, the subscription service welcomed Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition to Android and iOS platforms in December, adding beloved GTA classics to its collection. Get ready to immerse yourself in the captivating world of Hades on iOS and embark on an unforgettable adventure unlike any other.
