The Technical Test will provide access to the initial area of the game, along with early-game characters, systems, and content. Though not as expansive as the upcoming Early Access version, it will definitely offer an exciting preview of the next chapter in the Hades series.

Please note that the progress made during the Technical Test won't transfer to Early Access because of structural differences. However, the feedback and insights provided by the playtest participants this time will be very important in shaping the Early Access release and beyond for Hades 2.
