Hades 2: Timed Exclusive for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2

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

The announcement came after last week's Nintendo Direct, which initially hinted at Hades 2's arrival on the beefed-up Switch 2. Supergiant has now clarified that the game isn't just heading to 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 stated on X/Twitter.

Currently, there's no word on when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles like 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."
