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 hasn't been announced, Supergiant Games has confirmed that the eagerly awaited sequel will hit PC and Nintendo Switch 2, alongside the original Switch, simultaneously later this year.

The announcement that Hades 2 would be available on Nintendo's new Switch 2 was initially made during last week's Nintendo Direct. However, Supergiant has now 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 developer stated on X/Twitter.

Details regarding when Hades 2 will become available on other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S remain undisclosed at this time.

Hades 2 is the sequel to Supergiant's acclaimed first game, blending captivating storytelling with roguelite action in a dungeon-crawling adventure. In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, we awarded it a 9/10, 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."
