Ridiculous Hat is back yet again for Hades II, and this time we don't hold back on that deep dive we promised. The conversation is split into two parts, with the first keeping spoilers to a minimum and focusing on the mechanics and gameplay, while the second part goes further into spoilers. Should be noted though: Jocelyn has finished the game, but Hat and Ryan have not, so the ending is not discussed (a spoilercast is already planned when credits roll for all). Over in the news, A Minecraft Movie sequel is set for July 2027, and reports suggest a next generation PlayStation and Xbox will be due in 2027.
