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 fans can expect the highly anticipated sequel to hit PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and 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 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 team announced on X/Twitter.

It's currently unclear when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
Hades 2 builds on the success of its predecessor, blending captivating storytelling with roguelite action in a dungeon-crawling adventure.In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, the game received a stellar 9/10 score. "Hades 2 feels impossibly huge and unbelievably polished by any standard, much less an early access game," the review praised. "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."
