Zagreus has found his new home: Netflix. Revealed during Netflix Geeked Week, Supergiant Games' Hades (https://www.destructoid.com/?s=hades) is coming to Netflix's gaming service in 2024.

The 2020 roguelike is joining the ranks of Immortality (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/immortality-review-barlow-fmv-pc-half-mermaid/), Spiritfarer (https://www.destructoid.com/spiritfarer-is-the-newest-addition-to-netflixs-mobile-lineup/), and Oxenfree (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-oxenfree/) as one of the available games in the service. Netflix Gaming is free for all Netflix subscribers, so owners of the streaming giant can play at no extra cost. The announcement also came with the news that Braid, Death's Door, and Katana Zero would be added in 2024.
It's in the Blood
Hades follows the son of the titular ruler of the underworld, Zagreus, as he tries to escape the Underworld. With the help of the gods of Olympus, you die, die, and die again as you battle through ever-changing maps. Upon its release on Switch and PC, the game was lauded for its character design and addicting roguelike gameplay.
Our own Jordan Devore (https://www.destructoid.com/author/jordan-devore/) rated the game a 9/10 (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-hades/), citing Supergiant Games' strong storytelling and stellar RPG combat. Hades was nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards and even won Destructoid's own Overall Best Game of 2020.
I played the heck out of Hades when it was on Game Pass. Seeing it made available for all Netflix subscribers is a joy. Now, more people can play this stellar game whenever and wherever they want. It's a trip to Hell I am down to go to.
The timing for Hades to come to Netflix is pretty coincidental, as Supergiant Games is expanding the universe next year with Hades II (https://www.destructoid.com/hades-2-reveal-trailer-supergiant-games-game-awards/). The game, which made its way onto my RPGs to look out for (https://www.destructoid.com/rpgs-to-look-out-for-in-2024/), follows Zagreus' sister, Melino?. Instead of her father, she'll face the Titan of Time alongside new faces (https://www.destructoid.com/every-new-god-shown-in-the-hades-ii-reveal-trailer/). The game is set to go Early Access in Q2 of 2024 (https://www.destructoid.com/hades-2-will-return-to-hell-in-early-access-in-q2-2024/) for PC. While it's set to release on consoles, no specifics were given.
