As the characters are immortal, a few centuries wouldn’t be that much time for them.

[[WMG: Characters who might return from the previous game]]
* Achilles and Patroclus: They helped Zagreus, now they'll help Melinoe.
* Dusa: Perhaps as a brief or extended cameo in the Underworld, lamenting how quiet things have gotten after the royal family was captured.
* Nyx: Can't imagine that Chronos can do much to her. Or perhaps he can and she was captured alongside Hades?
* Chaos: Chronos ''definitely'' can't touch them. They'll likely serve the same role they did originally.
* Megaera (and her sisters): Whether Chronos would even want to go after the Furies (since he probably wouldn't see them as a threat) is unclear, but if they're present, they'd probably act as both allies and obstacles to Melinoe, just as they did for her brother.
* Thanatos: Because time cannot stop death.

[[WMG: Rhea is the story's BigGood]]
In direct opposition to her ex-husband, Rhea will turn out to be the one who tasked Hecate with training Melinoe so that she can rescue the Gods from his clutches. Perhaps late in the game, Hecate will suffer MentorOccupationalHazard and be captured by Chronos, prompting Rhea to step in to give Melinoe protection and guidance herself.

What little is known of Melinoe in mythology is that she is the Cthonic goddess of ghosts and funerary rites (and nightmares, in some versions). So instead of launching crystalised blood like Zagreus, she'll send ghosts to haunt her enemies.

The first game had you interacting with several bosses in the HubLevel, including Hades, who turned out to be the FinalBoss. We also see them fighting in the trailer. This could go one of two ways, either she's the boss of the first area to test if Melinoe is ready for what lies ahead. Or, Hecate is a TreacherousQuestgiver and has ulterior motives for sending Melinoe against Chronos, and is the real final opponent. However, after beating the main storyline she'll undergo a HeelFaceTurn, and all future fights are friendly sparring matches. (They have to justify the postgame somehow)
