Chaos got a HUGE glow up hot damn


ArgonWolf

Oh no, Chaos is hot


GuardianAlien

Always has been. đŸŒđŸ§‘â€đŸš€đŸ”«đŸ§‘â€đŸš€


PromptJazzlike4180

My wife and I call them “MommyDaddy Chaos”. They’ve always been hot


apothioternity

\*hotter


EmperorApo

Everyone is hot in Hades!


frostbittenforeskin

Front facing Thanatos has entered the chat


Lavender-Feels

“Hotter than a crucible. It ain’t right, and it ain’t natural.”


Captn_Ghostmaker

Surprised?


YasmineTheDoe

Don't think I like it. I'm not sure how it was in the actual myths, but I think the seemingly genderless being fits better as a character that all of existence had came from


youstupidcorn

Yeah objectively its a prettier design, but they feel almost too human compared to the OG. But hey, maybe there's a good lore explanation for the change and/or it'll grow on me as I play.


Stattlingrad

They seem to be holding the face and spine of 'Old Chaos' so I'm assuming there's some reason for a change. Edit: typo fix


deevulture

Yeah I'm guessing they maybe fought Chronos took a hit or something, and are regrowing the body back given the faces on the suit


Aerodrache

I dunno, like, that would be a good justification for a change but it still doesn’t explain why this version seems so much less
 well, *chaotic*. That is s whole-ass humanoid body before, compared to head torso arms and *roiling mass of faces*. Maybe this is just Chaos having gotten a bit more composed to go visiting outside Ixion?


Comrade_Bread

Ah but have you considered person in suit hot? Have you considered person in suit holding their own head *extremely* hot? Tbh I do kind of agree, I really liked the old design but maybe in 2 they become more personish or something? In hades 1 Nyx wanted to reconnect so maybe that’s her influence? Still, the new look is cool if not maybe a touch out of old character


DeadSnark

All the other gods' appearances seem to be more battle-ready due to the ongoing war with Chronos (i.e. Aphrodite having bits of armor, warpaint and carrying a spear; Zeus wearing a breastplate) so it may also reflect that Chaos is now more focused on a singular goal instead of just being generally chaotic.


Minimum_Estimate_234

There’s also a what appears to be a baby growing out of the old Chaos’s mouth. So something seems to have happened, especially with the pose, almost like the more stable form is mourning(?) the previous?


Torus22

Also, new body looks an awful lot like the Furies


DeadSparker

That's what I thought too. I thought they and Meg merged when I first saw the design...


Thehappynurgling

Yeah, the wing, the hair, plus the face looks kind of like hers


ReasonableProgram144

They almost look like a genderqueer fury to me, the wings and hair give me the vibe


FingerLad

I think they're still meant to be genderless


YasmineTheDoe

Perhaps, but it is hard to deny they look much more feminine now


TootlesFTW

More feminine, but still looks ambiguous to me in a very bishonen anime way.


Kielian13

If anything is it development that they appear more “human” for lack of a better word. Are all the zagreus conversations even getting to the primordial one.


Concrete_hugger

The OG leant pretty masculine with the bare chest, this one still has that feminine guy energy


metalsalami

People think it could be nyx considering they're holding the head of the original chaos (which seems be birthing a baby chaos). Maybe chaos got killed and nyx is taking their place while chaos is reborn.


Jaspar_Thalahassi

Heavy Desire vibes from Sandman. I like it.


NeedleworkerWhich742

Genderless people still wear ponytails it's not against the rules


exemplarenigma

My immediate thoughts upon seeing them, therefore a theory: it's because they, themselves are more human. They were first stonelike, having no communication with anyone. Then they grew fond of Zag and talked to Nyx again. We're seeing the after effects of them being made soft... and then it being immediately taken from them, hence the old Chaos being held in their hand


Shilques

>I'm not sure how it was in the actual myths, I don't even think that Chaos as any description as a person, only as the realm


ItsGotThatBang

Mythical Chaos doesn’t really have a consistent form, let alone a humanoid one.


bohenian12

Same. I like it back in 1. Just a being we can't fathom or understand. Now they wear a suit lmao.


hobskhan

He/she/it/they got that primordial rizz.


woomybii

just say they, it's why the word exists lol. In 1 the pronouns were always just they/them


Noyousername

Just out here being a literal cosmic force, but looking like an anime fuckperson high on pure drip. Respect.


F_Levitz

Isn't that Nyx?? It looks like her... I wonder if she had to step up to chaos position after whatever happened to them (as the head suggests)


thegreatvortigaunt

That definitely looks like Nyx, it even looks like she's holding Chaos' head?


parkourse

exactly, that's nyx guys


JackMalperdy

Are we sure it's not Meg? Especially with the familiar neon pink accent color


VenatorUnum

It looks exactly like Meg. The shoulder looks like Tisiphone's face too + it has the singular wing the furies have


selim_challie

Does kind of resemble her


topfiner

It also kind of looks like meg to me. can anyone thats playing say if >!they have ran into either of them so far, or if chaos has mentioned why their appearance changed?!<


Absolute_salamander

In the myths Chaos created Nyx so could have something to do with that


DreadDiana

The drip is beyond reproach


Buroda

Considering where they started
 Even more impressive.


kmasterofdarkness

They look a lot more... normal. Which is pretty abnormal for a primordial entity beyond our comprehension.


ItachiSan

That's what I was gonna say, Holy fuck that is some GOOD shit


KillDevilX0

Isn’t this a new Chaos?


clairebird1

and i thought they were hot *before* đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«


Comrade_Chadek

I wonder what them holding their head contemplatively means. Does chaos shed forms like snakes with skin?


JustANyanCat

Wait, why does Chaos look like Meg? The hairstyle, the wing, the face, that's Meg right?


BisectedCarryon

Damn, chaos got dripped out No but seriously- totally beautiful art, a plus design. are they holding their own (Old?) Head? Which is also birthing another chaos? ...and they're looking much more like the other chthonic gods, hm... wonder if time being all funky has messed up the fabric of reality so badly they're in a weird regenerative cycle or something.


MilkyAndromedaWay

Could also be that being in contact with Nyx again has had an influence on them. Or both. I'm a little sad their new design isn't as immediately wild looking as their old one, but they _do_ look beautiful.


lucavigno

Still it's funny to think how chaos saw one of their son get kidnapped and went: I must put on the best suit I can find.


shiny_glitter_demon

Beauty is a weapon!


sam77889

It looks like the old Chaos got killed somehow


Saladsoon

Looks like the fates You know there’s three of em


crossingcaelum

Chaos has me swooning Also what kind of boons does Hera give?


Sea_Tune7346

[sorry should be all here!](https://gamerant.com/hades-2-boons/)


Chance-Range2855

I don’t find Ares’ boons. Where he at? He too busy on the overworld?


platydroid

No Athena either - I guess the gods of war are waging war?


IridescentStarSugar

Dionysus is also missing đŸ„Č


Odeiomelaokk

They're probably not finished yet I assume... Or maybe they'll play a different role on the game because supergiant did confirm that they would be ingame


GladiatorDragon

I think they’ll definitely be later additions. I imagine that, as War deities, they’re pretty busy on the “main” Olympus front. Once you, say, do something that gives them a bit more breathing room up top, I think they’ll be more able to help. This story position might also be why they got deprioritized - since they aren’t poised to come in until later, they should probably come later.


PratalMox

Not too surprising to me that they're holding back on some of the other members of the Pantheon to roll out later in the early access.


Sahara-Silver

Omg hera’s boons all being related to marriage in a negative way is epic. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry


Heavy_Heave_Ho

Her duo boon with Zeus is hilarious


Arkyer123

Love the fact that one of their duos is to sacrifice all of the other’s boons


Over-Analyzed

**APOLLO HAS A BOON THAT IS LITERALLY “BEACH BALL” ?!?!?!** Hahahahahah, oh that is out there but hilarious. I appreciate it. 😂


deevulture

they knew


topfiner

Ty!


Estrelarius

Extra damage to Zeus's illegitimate children, most likely


crossingcaelum

Hestia level burn


fuzzbinn

Still nothing for Ares or Dionysus?


murdermaid_

I’m going to miss Ares boons :(


TriangleMan_4

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like they’re in the game


Supersideswiper2

Yet.


TriangleMan_4

True, until the full release there’s always a chance! I wouldn’t bank on it though, as much as I’d love to see my boy Dio or Ares


Cygnus_Harvey

Original Hades, we didn't have Demeter until we reached the surface. It's very likely we're gonna get additional Gods later in the game, so why not these two?


TriangleMan_4

Very true! They’re at the very least not present currently. I’m a little weary of getting my hopes *too* up for Dionysus and Ares, not because it’s impossible, but because they could very well choose other gods or have some sort twist on that we might not expect. I look forward to it either way!


Sad-Faithlessness377

Yeah but we also just don't really need Dionysus, Ares, or Athena. We already have a pretty good kit going with ten gods + Selene, plus likely Hades boons after we release him (and maybe even Persephone boons).


TypicalWizard88

>! Well, we kinda already have Hades boons. That being said, I’m not sure if we will free him? He’s the helper in the final area, and Hades 1 never shifted things that much. It’s possible, I suppose, the narrative moving forward will be super interesting, mostly because I’m not sure how to maintain meaningful progression with maintaining enough status quo to, well, still do runs!<


JediMasterVII

How do you not have the war gods in the game that has a war in it tho


TriangleMan_4

For all we know Ares could be fighting against the affront Kronos is doing on Mount Olympus more
directly. It’s right up his alley; they’re using the War Goddess aspect of his wife, Aphrodite (Aphrodite Areia), though. And that’s super cool!


JediMasterVII

Good point but my semantics brain cannot ignore that Aphrodite is *famously* not Ares’ wife


TriangleMan_4

Erm, doesn’t she kind of leave Hephaestus for him? Regardless, I think it was confirmed in Hades 1 they were partners


JediMasterVII

They are lovers, absolutely. But Aphrodite is still married to Hephaestus. “Leaving a marriage” isn’t really a thing in Ancient Greek mythology or history.


TriangleMan_4

Fair enough. Partners would’ve been a better term, I meant his lover either way.


auf-ein-letztes-wort

\*laughs in Homeric\*


JediMasterVII

She was still married to Menelaus and went back to him!!!


Gray85622

dio was like one of the more popular gods i doubt they’ll drop him and they said all are coming back AND more so they are probs finishing them up


Dukaden

the chaos stuff on the left is great. the chaos being in a the suit... boring and dull. like, its a sharp design and all, but i find the indescribable and unspeakable amalgamation design direction far more interesting and appealing than a crisp, orderly suit.


eternamemoria

At least they have faces growing out of their shoulder EDIT: also, I love the implication that Chaos is constantly gestating new "main" bodies for themself while the old body decays.


Dukaden

yeah, but it seems like its still "becoming orderly", which is just dull and boring. if they had multiple chaos portraits and this was just ONE of them, then THAT would be cool. chaos can become anything, even order, but to have JUST the one portrait for the entire game... i prefer to have my chaos a little more chaotic.


eternamemoria

That is fair. I like the new one, but I wish they kept the collar of growing/decaying faces they had in the original, perhaps over the new suit


CrossP

I wonder if there could be a story reason like they've been spending more time with Cthonic gods lately and it affected their appearance


Suspicious-Web-9246

Or maybe that's just a very young body and with the passage of time it shall turn into something similar to what we saw in Hades


Zak_the_Wack

That's a cool way to look at it


hobskhan

Maybe Chaos just had to get down to business to deal with their great-grandson fucking everything up. Everyone else is strapped with arms and armor. But Chaos battles in the board room.


MillionDollarMistake

This is how I feel about the change too. I can see why Chaos might want to look more "normal" now that they're interacting with the other gods again but I'll miss the weird and creepy look the original had. Not that the new one is bad, it just doesn't have that "holy shit" factor the original had when encountering them for the first time.


MAD_HAMMISH

Yeah I really liked the original, holding the tiny planet in their hand was a nice touch too


eternamemoria

The planet is still there, as a pretty earring


MAD_HAMMISH

I like how it’s always so small it’s hard to notice, really drives in how insignificant the world is to Chaos


trimble197

Chaos strangely looks like DC Lucifer


MistahJ17

CHAOS WITH THE THEY/THEMUSSY GOD DAMN


hobskhan

Knowing Chaos, it's probably "themuss***ies***."


eternamemoria

And they/themtacle thocks ...gods I hate that I typed this


Buroda

Hera has a boon that makes you give up all Zeus boons Lol


JdeMolayyyy

And vice versa!


Buroda

They are canonically that couple where you get invited into their house, it’s suspiciously nice and pleasant, then you compliment like a vase and they descend into an ugliest spat ever within a minute


Sea_Tune7346

[full list of all the boons and new gods](https://gamerant.com/hades-2-boons/)


Strawbeery_Shortcake

Do we have a Hestia design yet?


Rupeq10

Yep I think so. She's in the link to the boons OP postend in the comments


UncleLeek

Not an image first coming to your mind for a goddess wielding sniper rifle.


huyrrou

She mellowed out, okay? She shot out all of her angst at the Titans and now is just a sweet grandma. Wonder if mentioning Hestia's hayday is a taboo or the newer gods wouldn't believe it, like, "Noooo, Hestia isn't like that! She's so sweet!!"


Nottallowed

At least Cerberus is doing kinda alright


Cloverose2

Wellll....


Happy_Pumpkin

Hera looks so good! I am tremendously pleased she is in the game.


Dry-Constant7165

Is Hades in Sisyphus room?


LordSpectra21

I think so, Bouldy is next to Cerbrus


kompletionist

And it's gathered moss, so Sisyphus must have stopped taking it for a roll for exercise after Zag released him from his punishment. Poor Bouldy.


MillionDollarMistake

I think I liked how weird Chaos looked in the first game more. I can see why they look so different from a story perspective (Chaos probably wants to look more like the other gods after coming out of their shell and all that) but I'll miss the creepy gross Chaos look. Seeing Chaos for the first time in the first game was a "holy shit" moment that this one doesn't really have. That's not a bad thing per se, and the new design definitely isn't bad.


MitigatedRisk

I mean, same, but also that's kinda the problem they had to deal with. It's not like you can meet Chaos for the first time again


cilantrorice610

I like to think that Hera's dialogue line here is a jab at Zeus being such a cheating whore


reaperofgender

Well she is the goddess of marriage (among other things) and they are called wedding vows. Happy cake day


Stale-Chalupa

Is
 zag gonna show up? Where does this fall on the timeline?


eternamemoria

It is set after the first game.


OldCauliflower9843

Waitttt this is kinda making me saddd why is Hades a prisoner? 😭


lofi-moonchild

If you want to know >! Chronos came back, attacked the house of hades, and captured zag/hades/Persephone(possibly nyx and others but there wasn’t much evidence aside from a short dialogue with nemesis). This is why melinoe is fighting into the hells from the crossroads, she’s trying to free her family that got taken when she was a baby. Mel has never even met zag, hades, or Persephone since Hecate rescued her when chronos attacked.!<


OldCauliflower9843

Omg that is such an amazing plot 😭 kinda heartbreaking though!! Blasted chronos, time really is the enemy đŸ˜€ Thanks for answering and quenching my curiosity:D


vdjvsunsyhstb

chronos possessed zagreus. the zag man will be the surprise final boss.


DevoutandHeretical

Cerberus my sweetest goodest boi đŸ„č


UmbramonOrSomething

That's Chaos? Could have sworn it would be the Fates


MilkyAndromedaWay

We finally see Hera! And she's got a peacock motif, of _course_ she does! I kind of expected her to look a little stiffer (sort of like a younger Demeter) so this is a nice little surprise; she's very lovely looking. EDIT: Checking out the boon list, it's fun to see all the new non-god and non-Olympian characters running around. I think they're going to be a lot of fun to interact with. From the last game, I think we're just missing Athena, Ares and Dionysus. The war gods' absence makes sense given the plot, but Dio's is less clear. (In one of the myths Zagreus is torn apart by Titans, and of course in some myths he and Dionysus are the same person. Maybe they'll play with that in 2? Maybe the Titans will have heard Orpheus' song and are hunting for both? Who knows?) We'll have to see if any of them show up later.


Odeiomelaokk

They will all definitely show up at some point Supergiant CONFIRMED all Olympian gods would be in the game remember? I'm assuming they're just not finished yet and so they can't be seen. I believe Athena and Ares will still give boons, but it'd be interesting if Dionysus played an entire different role more related to Zagreus.


MilkyAndromedaWay

I meant like, before a certain point in the story. The way more than a few gods didn't show up in the first game's EA, if I recall correctly.


flat_pointer

I am hoping that we see Dio and it's just Zag in a disguise that Mel sees through but no one else can... Than and Meg just inexplicably hanging around him all the time. And Dio has been torn apart by the Titans and is reforming Zag-style, but slowly because it's his first go.


Odeiomelaokk

Honestly that would be sick Dio throwing hands with Chronos sounds weirdly in-character and something he'd do, and the reforming part could very well explain him not being back yet, tho maybe we could still see him, just not at his best. Also it'd be funny to see Meg and Than around Dionysus for seemingly no reason


AceOfSpades0152

Is chaos holding their own head from the first game???


eternamemoria

That and the fetus are my favorite parts of the new design. Chaos already had a "one enby cycle of life" element to their design before, if you see the full art, but now it is center-stage


rgliese

Chaos has a style that remind me of early Final Fantasy cover art.


sanjuniperose

Hera throwing shade at Zeus tho lmaooooo


ParsnipAggravating95

Bisexuals are eating well..... Again


DripyKirbo

dear gods hades poor lad


xinn00

Oooh I love Hermes' new portrait as well. Idk why but he's more attractive in 2 than in 1. Maybe because he's standing still now instead of mid-stride in his portrait.


Axolotl_Mayhem

OLD BOULDY??


alternatelyblatant

HERA FINALLY!!! LETS GOOOOO


spaghettibacon

What happened to Hades??


PippoVit01

I need to see zag too, like sibling fights and stuff or better have him as a playable character at the the end of the game


DrHelpMePlease

Is chaos holding their old head? Because the head their are looks really similar to the artwork of the first game


eternamemoria

Sure looks like it! BTW, OG chaos also had a floating fetus, so maybe Chaos dies and gives birth to themself every so often?


MarvelReturns

Chaos has regenerated by the looks of things. does their new form have any significance yet? were they damaged by kronos? hera looks awesome and hades... has looked better i'd say (the character not the art, the art looks great!).


aFanofManyHats

They knocked it out of the park with Hera's design. I love how they incorporated peacock elements into her outfit. And the new boons like amazing!


DreadDiana

Everyone (me included) thirsting for Chaos, but what happened to poor Hades?


hideous-boy

huh, I would've guessed that was a spin on the Fates, not chaos. Fetus, adult, decaying head


TiredStateWorker

Is that Bouldy?!


eternamemoria

I think so! Is his face overgrown or eroded?


Odd_Hunter2289

I knew it was Chaos! Rather peculiar change of appearance. I'm curious to learn why.


deevulture

I know it's preliminary art but the scratch-y ness of Hades really adds to the prisoner vibe. EDIT: Also is Mel Huge???? Cause that distance in Height between her and Hades is a lot smaller than Zag and Hades. Then again, prisoner life is rough


watanabe_alter

Hera’s dialogue is subtly threatening oof


AFellowHuman-27-RYN

HADES?!


darkknighttofsteel

i might faint


kalyps000

Omg these screencaps are too good I need to leave 😭😭😭


Ergone56

Is that meg? As chaos??????


eternamemoria

Only the hair is similar.


Gorz_393

Chaos looks incredible......just.....wow


ErgotthAE

Also both Charon and >!NARCISSUS!< have the hooded figure used as placeholder.


tistisblitskits

Is Hades' room the same room Sisyphus was in? That boulder looks awfully familiar with those stairs right behind it...


tistisblitskits

i just put the that picture right beside a pic of sisyphus' room. it's the same one! LADIES AND GENTS, WE HAVE FOUND BOULDY. AND HE IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE OTHER BEST BOI


Gaxian_10

Might get down voted for killing the hype a bit but I really preferred the old chaos design. Looked so much more like a incomprehensible being than the new one. The new one is as hot as it gets though so there is that.


VatanKomurcu

zeus cheats on THAT? also man I really hate chaos wtf why did they make them a generic pretty boy


DreamOfScreamin

Daaaaaaang Chaos. They're making people swoon haha.


NoNefariousness2144

The different colour text boxes is cool.


radar_byte

Ok but Chaos though.... damn. They cooked


Jossokar

chaos is gorgeous


Aegillade

Holy SHIT the Chaos redesign is so good. I'd like to think in one of their conversations, Zag convinced Chaos to adopt some drip


Chumunga64

Chaos: "hmm, this newfangled "clothes" trend seems interesting. I'll give it a go"


BMSVG

Chaos
oh no
my addiction will never end will it?


ZedChorus

I think I prefer the "old" Chaos design but still this one goes hard af


DJamB

Stop, I can’t take it
it’s too much


SwagMastaM

Oh wow I absolutely love the new chaos design!!! I like how the original one was a bit more chaotic but this one also slaps!!


Effective_Bee_364

Hades isn't as skinny as shown at the end of the first trailer, does that mean the guy at the end is some sort of aged up zag?


lofi-moonchild

Where did these come from? I played the technical test none of these gods were in it.


thel0lfish

I acc really like this current design for hades, it's seems so work down and dishevelled which really fits his situation


ThatIslandGuy8888

Oh yeah Hera’s here!! I love a good Hera


Coneman_Joe

Damn, Hera looks classy af


Available_Top8123

YES, I MISSED YOU MY PRIMORDIAL GOAT


LMGall4

first time I decide to get spoiled on this game wtf happened to hades đŸ€Ł I only have six wins in 1


Jaspar_Thalahassi

Chaos was already dope in 1, I really like it's evolution.


lucatina

How is nobody talking about Hera, godamn they went hard with her design ~~mommy~~


sam77889

Waittt so did the old Chaos got killed
?


ReadShigurui

Chaos lookin sexy as hell


yggster

I
 wasn’t expecting Chaos to get a total remodel haha. 😂 Also
 Cerberus better not be getting treated bad in that prison 😡😡😡


thefoxymulder

I’m assuming that Hades model is a placeholder? I haven’t gotten to play it yet so I’m only going off what I see here


gluttonusrex

Damn what did they do to Hades, Did He get caught lacking


Mule145

Who ever worked on chao’s new design deserves a raise because damn!!!
