On 2 February 2026 Pragmatic Play announced Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War 250, a follow-up to its 2023 slot about the king of the gods facing the ruler of the underworld. The company describes it as a 5x5 game in which the duel is fought through expanding wilds that carry multipliers. It is the second of the two versions we cover, and the newest one with an official release date.
What the release describes
- Players choose between two volatility levels, Olympus and Hades.
- Olympus is said to make the bonus game easier to reach, while Hades is described as more likely to produce larger average payouts once the feature is running.
- Expanding wilds can appear in the base game and in the bonus. When one lands and a win follows, it stretches over the whole reel and takes a random multiplier of up to 250x.
- Three scatters on reels one, three and five open the bonus with 10 free spins.
- Expanding wild multipliers stay locked in position until the round finishes.
- The stated maximum win is 25,000x, and the game page lists an RTP of 96.56%.
- In select markets there are two Super Spins options and a Super Free Spins bonus buy.
How the provider frames it
The announcement places the title in Pragmatic Play's Greek Gods series and says it develops up to eight new slots a month. The chief operating officer is quoted as saying the game amplifies the original with higher multipliers; we leave the exact wording out. The press text builds on the mechanic of the first game rather than replacing it.
Why it matters for a player
The 250x and 25,000x numbers are ceilings, not typical outcomes, and neither the release nor the game page says how often they can be reached. The 96.56% return figure is a long-run average across a very large number of spins, so it cannot predict a single session. Before you stake money, note that the Super Spins and the bonus buy are limited to certain markets and may not show up on your operator's version. Try the free demo first to see how the wild multipliers behave, and set a spending limit beforehand. Full facts are on our Gods of War 250 page, and the first game is covered on the original game page.
