Many fans were equally excited and nervous about Disney’s remake of the Percy Jackson books. However, the series was a thundering success as Percy safely returned the lightning bolt to Zeus. Its premiere boasted 13.3 million views within six days of its release and became one of the top five most-watched premiers on Disney+.
Games to Satisfy Your Percy Jackson Craving
While the first season is over, and we’re still waiting on the second season, fans might crave Olympian action. Luckily, there are various games you could try out to battle with or against the gods.
Commander of Tridents
The Commander of Tridents slot from Backseat Gaming brings back the age-old depiction of Poseidon. With expanding wild tridents and mystery gates, it offers the excitement and puzzles you’re used to seeing in the Disney+ series.
Gods of Olympus
This mobile game features the ability to build your city, select a patron god, and attack enemy cities. You must strategize where to place specific gods, as they don’t all work equally well together. It’s a fun game depicting the complex personalities of the gods fans have come to love or hate.
Smite
This game has over 40 million players and is a multiplayer online battle arena title. Choose between various gods from multiple pantheons. Using gods from Olympus, you fight in the arena for glory and victory. It features five game modes: Slash, Joust, Assault, Arena, and Conquest.
Hades
In this dungeon-crawler, you play as the son of Hades, Prince Zagreus, who defies his father. You encounter various Grecian myths and immortals as you travel the Underworld. Gods like Zeus, Zagreus’ mother Persephone, and Athena give you boosts and powers to help you on your journey.
Immortals Fenyx Rising
As with the series and books of Pery Jackson, this game allows you to play a demigod on a mission to save the Olympian gods. It’s an open-world game filled with Greek mythology and the ability to fly as you play as the winged demigod, Fenyx. Like Percy, you’ll encounter mythical creatures like Daedalus’ Wings, Cerberus, Gorgons, and Cyclops.
Percy Jack and the Olympians
The books have always been viral, with theater and musical productions based on them. However, controversies about this series started with the casting. Fans were upset about the series discarding Annabeth’s blond-haired, grey-eyed character for Leah Jeffries.
Still, Jeffries blasted all doubt out of the water by portraying the perfect Annabeth, from her wisdom to her slight (initial) disdain for Percy. The cast was ideal for the series, and it depicts fans’ favorite scenes from the books, along with its twists.
Disney hasn’t officially stated when season two will release, but it’s in the works. After commentary from Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson, many speculate that it’ll release around January 2026. However, we’re still waiting for an update.
Explore Olympus While You Await the Heroes’ Return
The books are among the most popular series globally, with over 180 million copies sold globally. As such, it’s no surprise that the series did well, and people want more. The above games will all invite you deeper into Greek mythology as we wait for the release of Percy Jackson and the Olympians' second season.
