Hades II is an upcoming roguelike action role-playing game video game developed and published by Supergiant Games. A direct sequel to Hades (2020), it follows Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld and sister to Zagreus, the protagonist of the first game. Melinoë aims to defeat Chronos, the Titan of Time, with the aid of other Olympian Gods.

The game was announced in December 2022 and was released in early access in May 2024. It will initially be exclusive to Windows, though Supergiant has plans to bring the game to other systems.

Like the first game, Hades II is a roguelike dungeon crawler game. Set "sometime" after the events of Hades in the same universe, the sequel stars Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld and sister to the protagonist of the first game, Zagreus. Alongside her mentor Hecate, she aims to defeat Chronos, the god of time. Returning from Hades is "God Mode", which allows the player to gain more power after each failure. New to the game is the "Magick Bar," a combat resource used for moves that recharges at the start of every fight.
