Hades 2 Exclusive to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 for a Limited Time

The highly anticipated Hades 2 is set to make its debut on the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. While an exact release date is still under wraps, developer Supergiant has confirmed that the sequel will hit PC and both Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch simultaneously later this year. This exciting news was first hinted at during last week's Nintendo Direct, but Supergiant has now clarified that Hades 2 will not only be available on both Switch models but will also enjoy a period of exclusivity on Nintendo's platforms.

"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, solidifying the release plan.

Currently, there's no word on when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. The game, a sequel to Supergiant's critically acclaimed first title, continues to blend captivating storytelling with roguelite action and dungeon-crawling gameplay.

IGN's Hades 2 early-access review awarded the game a stellar 9/10, praising its vast scope and polished execution: "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."
