HERCULES 2


⚔️ Story (No Spoilers)

Many years after Hercules walked away from the world of kings and mercenaries, Greece falls under a terrifying omen:
The Titan Hyperion has awakened beneath Mount Othrys.

Earthquakes, eclipses, and monstrous creatures begin ravaging the Aegean.
Hercules, now living in quiet exile, is summoned by the Oracle of Delphi who reveals a chilling truth:

Only the demigod who defied Olympus can stop a Titan reborn.

But Hercules isn’t the unstoppable warrior he once was—his strength is fading, and a curse begins to slowly turn his divine lineage against him.

To face Hyperion, Hercules must:

  • Seek the mythical Shield of Aegis, lost for centuries

  • Reunite with his former companions

  • Confront a new enemy: the Titan-born priestess Lyandra (Eva Green), who seeks to bind Hercules’ soul to awaken the entire Titan race

The journey leads through labyrinths, ancient ruins, cursed islands, and a final battle inside the molten heart of Othrys, where gods and Titans once clashed.
