Hades’community of fans that has been cultivating since well before the game even launched has managed to accomplish quite a lot.

Over on Reddit, a user by the name of Blindster13 has posted an incredible piece of crossover art that features Kratos fromGod of War. The art style is so on-point in terms of how it compares toHades’official art style that it almost looks like an Easter Egg.
Kratos' character design even features dialogue that emulates how he would talk to Atreus inGod of War (2018). In a lot of ways, Kratos kind of benefits from being in the world ofHades,considering his Greek heritage and his previous relationships with the Greek gods of Olympus. Although, this is in spite of the fact thatGod of Waris done with Greek mythology.
In any case, this is still a fantastic, lovingly detailed piece of fan art that almost looks as though it’s an in-game screenshot. Seeing such an iconic character likeGod of War’sKratosfind his way into fanart based on a game that hasn’t been around nearly as long asGod of War, goes to show how it has managed to influence the gaming community in unexpected ways.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for bothHadesandSupergiant Games. WhileHadeshas so far been a massive success, the studio’s previous games likePyre, Transistor,andBastionhave left an impactful, strong impression on many players within the gaming community. With each new game, Supergiant Games continues to reinvent itself, and it will be exciting to see what other plans the studio has in store for its loving fanbase.
Hadesis available now for Nintendo Switch and PC.
