The developer’s publication mentions the translation of the textual content of the game, so you can expect the translation into Ukrainian of texts, descriptions and probably subtitles, but not dubbing. According to the developers, the original Hades game contained more than 300,000 words. The new part should be even bigger, so it will be a rather voluminous project. The developers promise to pay for translation services at the rate of $0.25 for each translated word. Considering the large amount of text, the cost of text-only translation, even in one language, is quite high.
Experienced translators can join the translation of Hades II into Ukrainian. You can familiarize yourself with the terms of cooperation at the following address.

Hades II was announced alongside many other games at the 2022 TGA Games Awards and is expected to release in 2023. It will be a direct continuation of the original game and will be based on ancient Greek mythology. The events of Hades II will take place several years after the end of the first part. The main character will be Melinoia – the sister of Zagray and at the same time the immortal princess of the Underworld, who has black magic, and the antagonist will be the sinister titan Kronos, who escaped from prison and challenged the Olympians.

Hades is a fairly hardcore rogue-lite in the setting of the myths of Ancient Greece. The main character – Zagrei, the son of the god Hades, seeks to escape from the underground kingdom to the outside world. The original Hades became available in early access back in December 2018, and the full release on PC and Switch took place in September 2020. The game from the creators of Bastion and Transistor received high reviews from critics and many awards – at The Game Awards 2020, Supergiant Games’ project was second only to The Last of Us Part II in the number of awards. The first part was a commercial success – in almost two years, while the game was in early access, seven hundred thousand copies were sold. In the first three days of its official release in 2020, another three hundred thousand copies of Hades were sold, bringing her total sales of the game to over one million.
Hades averages a Metacritic score of 93 out of 100 from journalists and 8.8 out of 10 from players.
