So, even if you aren't invited to the technical test right away, you may still be invited later. Our process boils down to: invite some players, fix any problems they run into, invite more players, and so on.

And if you're wondering how long the Hades 2 technical test will run, that too is kind of a fluid situation:"Longer than a week, shorter than a month" is the current estimate.Despite those limitations, there's a lot of excitement for the technical test. The original Hades, released in 2020, earned ahere at PC Gamer and holds an"overwhelmingly positive" rating across nearly 230,000 user reviews on Steam.

"It's important to us to start our forthcoming early access with as few technical issues as possible, so that the focus can be on getting your feedback on the game itself," Supergiant said."We're very excited to share that game with you soon, and appreciate your patience and support as we prepare!"Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
