      Haha, I guess you’re implying releasing v1.0 would mean no longer early access?

      Can’t say I’m really sure what defines early access on steam.

        Supergiant Games have a reputation to uphold, I wouldn’t bundle them with other companies in the business of selling unfinished games, even if they belong to that group.

          Oh I’m not worried that they won’t, but I’ve been avoiding playing it until it’s at least at an official release.

          I don’t typically go back and replay games, so I wanted to make sure it was basically done before starting it.

            I’m the same, which sucks because I want to play Hades 2 badly. I think it’s safe to say it should be pretty polished by 1.0, that’s the point of early access when done right.

              Yep, exactly why I was asking. I think if they’re releasing on consoles they think the game is polished enough. I bet they’ll continue to drop new content afterwards, but that you’ll at least have a “complete” game at that point.
