Hades 2: Timed Exclusive for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2

Hades 2 is set to launch on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. While an exact release date remains under wraps, developer Supergiant has confirmed that the eagerly awaited sequel will hit PC and the Nintendo Switch 2, as well as the original Switch, simultaneously later this year.

The announcement that Hades 2 would be coming to Nintendo's enhanced Switch 2 was initially revealed during last week's Nintendo Direct. However, Supergiant has since clarified that the game will not only be available on both Switch versions but will also enjoy a period of exclusivity on Nintendo's consoles.

"Hades II v1.0 will launch simultaneously on our Early Access platforms (Steam and Epic Games Store), Nintendo Switch 2, and the original Nintendo Switch," the team recently stated on X/Twitter.

Currently, there's no information on when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

Hades 2 continues the legacy of Supergiant's original hit, blending captivating storytelling with roguelite action in a thrilling dungeon-crawling adventure.

In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, the game received a stellar 9/10, with the review stating, "Hades 2 feels impossibly huge and unbelievably polished by any standard, much less an early access game. Mel is awesome, the new tweaks to the combat and progression are excellent, and it's just unbelievably feature packed with twice the content of the first. What’s here right out of the gate is astounding, and the thought of more coming on the way is a tantalizing treat."
