The Greek Pantheon is massive, and the original Hades gave its famous (and infamous) gods and goddesses a fresh, new take. Its sequel reintroduces quite a few, but not all. However, Hades 2 makes up for the difference with new gods. Here are all the gods in Hades 2, listed.
There are many gods and goddesses in Hades 2. Most of them are fairly well known, and a sizable amount will be familiar to those who played the original. Some are sadly missing from the sequel, but the fresh cast members may soon become new favorites. We will also be including Titans in the mix, as they predate the gods of Olympus.
All gods in Hades 2
Some of the gods in Hades 2 don’t arrive until you make significant progress in the game and story. With that in mind, I’ll consider them ‘spoilers’ and put them near the bottom of the list. Scroll with care.

These are the gods we’ve found so far, although with the game as big and sprawling as it is, there may be more yet to be found as secrets or as part of the game’s daunting 100% completion. Keep your eyes peeled and let us know if we’re missing any.
