Zombie kind-of-MMO The Day Before and free-to-play shooter The Finals were both, at one point in time, the most wishlisted games on the digital storefront. Coincidentally, both games also launched yesterday on December 5, and consequently bumped Hades 2 up to the top spot.

The Day Before finally released after months of controversy, but those divisive discussions weren’t a thing of the past, asthe game was met with an “Overwhelmingly Negative” responsebased on user reviews. Meanwhile, The Finals seems to be faring slightly better following a surprise shadow drop at last night’s trailer fest, partly thanks to the extravagant environmental destruction.

Steam’s“Top Wishlists”section now sees Hades 2 at the top, with citybuilder Manor Lords and even more enigmatic sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong following just behind.

Hades 2 presumably iterates on that winning formula while shifting the focus away from Zagreus and onto his sister, Melinoë, the Princess of the Underground, who probably faces similar battles with demons, bisexual gods, and daddy issues. Developer Supergiant recently revealed that the sequel wouldenter early access between April and June next yearwith more content than the original’s early access launch. Not too long a wait now.
