Will Hera and Hestia be added to the game?

[Antares]

It seems that for every weapon there are an aspect of a god we can get boons from, an aspect of someone from Greek tales but is not an Olympian god and an aspect of someone from later ages. Now we have Poseidon for the blade, Hades for the spear, Zeus for the shield and Demeter for the fists. So will we get help from Hera and Hestia since they have already given name to the bow and the rail.

"Hera" and "help" in the same sentence? Lmao! You are not familiar with Greek mythology at all.

Joking aside, you do have a point. Good catch! You are probably right.

Well, maybe all of the boons from Hera will come with curses which unlike those from Chaos, are permanent. That would be interesting.

I also think it's likely! I expect A LOT of passive-aggressive lines by Hera about her husband. But she will probably treat Zagreus somewhat properly because she has no reason to believe he is yet another extramarital child of Zeus. Unless she is going to be portrayed as paranoid, then everything is possible.

I just want a DUO boon from Zeus & Hera called "Divorce Counselling".

I'd love to see all the Olympians. Apollo and Hephaestus too. Issue is, while I think they could reasonably add a few more Olympians, I don't think they can do all of them. Maybe they could recontextualize Daedalus's tools as Hephaestus's boons (idk why they didn't do this from the start), but what can Hera, Hestia, and Apollo give?

Hey, thank you C4RNIVOR3 from excerpting from our Discord Q&As! I can (re)confirm we have no plans to add additional Olympians to Hades as we push forward to exit Early Access and launch v1.0 of the game. We do have one more character planned, and more content coming for all characters.

We think the number of Olympians in the game is the right number for this story and game, especially since we are not finished adding Boons and other content to the ones we have. That being said, it's definitely fun to think about how the Olympians we haven't represented might be like!

There is also one spoiler-y silhouette in the trailer for this update (I think it's pretty obvious who it's supposed to be). So if you really don't want to know about it, don't click the following link, and if you do, don't watch it past 1:10.

I don't even know if it's really a spoiler. He is the LAST one left without an actual model...

[C4RNIVOR3]

It's not much of a spoiler when all of the hooded portraits were placeholders that were always intended to be changed at some point during early access
