[[WMG: Melinoë was born during the time Persephone's on the surface.]]
The first game revealed that Zagreus' birth complications came about because Persephone, a surface-born, gave birth in the Underworld. With the fact that she now goes into her famous seasonal cycle going back and forth between the two worlds, it wouldn't be illogical for Hades and Persephone to plan the conception so that Melinoë's birth takes place while Persephone's bringing spring to the world.

Like in ''Hades'', ''Hades II'' is likely to include many other well-known or not-so-known greek heroes as supporting cast members. While there are no characters currently confirmed, we can assume that they'll be associated with the story's overall theme; while in ''Hades'', the heroes were those like Theseus, Sisyphus, and Orpheus, who all tried and failed to overcome the limitations of death, in ''Hades II'', the focus will most likely be on witchcraft and sacrificing oneself for others.

[[WMG: Erebus will appear.]]
Out of the original Protogenoi (Nyx and Erebus, Gaea, Tartarus and sometimes Eros) Erebus is by far the least explored in fiction or the myths itself. Plus in the original myths, Erebus is the husband to Nyx, who's a major character here. Either Hades II or a possible sequel could allow us to see the god of darkness be characterized for perhaps the first time.

[[WMG: Zagreus doesn't appear at first because he got swallowed by Kronos.]]
He can't leave the Underworld for long, so he wouldn't have been able to get away when Kronos (presumably) took over. Melinoe doesn't mention rescuing him in the trailer either, so she may believe that her brother is dead. However, anyone who knows Greek mythology would know that getting eaten by Kronos doesn't always kill you. So during the final fight against him, there's a point where he's forced to vomit Zagreus up.
[[WMG: Melinoe's ghost arm is what's keeping her from being pulled into the Underworld]]
Since it was established that Hades and Zagreus can't be out of the Underworld for too long before dying, Melinoe would have the same problem. To train her outside, Hecate did a spell that left Melinoe's arm in the Underworld so a part of her would always be tied to it.
