Hades 2: Timed Exclusive for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2

Hades 2 is set to make its way to both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. Although an exact release date has not been announced, Supergiant Games has confirmed that the much-awaited sequel will launch on PC, alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch, all at the same time later this year.

The news about Hades 2 coming to Nintendo's enhanced Switch 2 was initially shared during last week's Nintendo Direct. However, Supergiant Games has since clarified that the game will not only be available on both Switch models 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 announced via X/Twitter.

It remains uncertain when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, we praised the game, awarding it a 9/10. "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 game. What’s here right out of the gate is astounding, and the thought of more coming on the way is a tantalizing treat."
