Chaos Hades - Blog Posts

I feel like that's kinda the point. Chaos isn't going to be something that stays consistent, much like how chaos in our lives is never consistent. I personally like the change and hope that if there is anything past Hades 2 that they continue to change it because I think it works perfectly for who I believe Chaos is like.

I also feel that the head is included to show that chaos always leads to change, and what better way to represent change than a whole change of design but still making it known, especially for those who've played Hades, that Chaos is change.

I don’t know how to feel about this. i like the design but it’s so different from the first game (esp with the head from the first game in their hand) so I want to know why they felt the need to change chaos’s design at all. chaos was conventionally attractive in the first game wrt their face so I want to know if this is meant to lean into that—and once again, why

“They made them a conveniently attractive twink omg ruined design yap yap”

FOOLS. ABSOLUTE DINGBATS YOU ALL ARE. CAN YOU NOT SEE ALL THE SYMBOLISM????

I will defend this design to the ends of the earth. Yes they’re hot, that’s merely a bonus.

1) that’s not a shirt that’s a fucking Galaxy under that suit. Mf has no body, just a vaguely body shaped void. Meaning floating head and hands that aren’t attached to anything. You take those clothes off and it’s the fucking void. They’re non binary AND sexless. Beyond any physical body, just shaped like it for fun.

2) the old bodies head dead in their hands and simultaneously birthing a foetus. That’s the circle of life, a rebirth, a metamorphosis. Chaos is above a god, they’re primordial. They don’t have a permanent appearance or identity. They’re ever changing. They look like this now, but if there were another game, they’d change again. They’re always changing, killing their old self and reshaping it. The wings have also moved and grown from the head to the back. Chaos expands indefinitely, bigger and unable to be contained in any way. They don’t even need wings, they can float. But they decided to have them anyway, just because. Because they can.

3) this is Ancient Greece. Suits don’t exist yet. Chaos took clothing from thousands of years in the future. They’re beyond time itself, they’re not effected by Chronos in any way. They’re in their own realm outside of time an space, they know things from the past, present and future.

4) the hair being the same colour as and long like many of their grandchildren, family resemblance there. Almost like they’re,,, missing them. Despite being this omnipresent being beyond human emotion, they still care in their own way. Copying them to feel some form of deeper connection.

5) the earth is an earring now. That’s how inconsequential it is to a being like chaos. It’s just there, an accessory, nothing special.

I could go on. Maybe I’m reading too deep into it but given the fact all the designs in the first and second games tend to have symbolism in them based on the myths the gods come from and what they represent, I don’t think I’m too insane for seeing symbolism here.

My acc is all over the place in terms of what I post rn but I don't really care so...

My thoughts on the Chaos redesign for Hades 2!!

I personally enjoy Chaos' new look, sure their more human appearing but I don't mind (I'm attracted to both the glob and the pretty humanoid, and I'm not even ashamed)

But I do understand the criticisms of this new design, Chaos is the embodiment of the void and creation so them being just a bunch of ambiguous gunk makes sense.

But I have a theory that because their the embodiment of creation they change their form every once in a while.

I think the new from is the fetus that's in both designs. It's smaller in the new because that from is newer and younger. The fetus grows over time and once the old body dies Chaos' consciousness is transferred to the new body once it's old enough (new Chaos is holding was is likely og Chaos' skull) and then that new body grows a fetus and the cycle repeats.

Also the two designs are very obviously not the same body - ones a bunch of gunk one is not, og Chaos is darker and has a different face shape - but they share enough characteristics for it to be believable that their the same person - bat like wings, the eye motifs, bright colors, ect.

And, they are the only character that has gotten such a major redesign (most just adding armor to their design) so there's likely a lore reason for Chaos' new look that we don't know yet because it's still in EA.
