Hades Has Been Rated For PS4 by Korean Rating Committee

Posted: 15 May 2021 12:45 PM PDT

Hades has been rated for PS4 by Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee, hinting that Supergiant Games' rougue-like will soon be making its way to other platforms besides PC and Nintendo Switch. As spotted by modiz on ResetERA, Hades' rating also indicates that Take Two will be the publisher for the PS4 version. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/21/hades-igns-2020-game-of-the-year"] Hades was first released on PC via Early Access in 2018, and it was officially launched on PC and Switch in September 2020. Considering the numerous Game of the Year awards Hades received, including from IGN, it should come as no surprise that the game would eventually make its way to other consoles. In our review of Hades, we said that it "is a one-of-a-kind rogue-lite that does a brilliant job of marrying its fast-paced action with its persistent, progressing story through a vividly reimagined Greek mythological underworld." Hades supports cross-save between Switch and PC, so hopefully it will also feature that functionality when it finally arrives on PS4 and any other platform.
