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, with the exciting news that it will be a timed console exclusive. While the exact release date remains under wraps, Supergiant Games has confirmed that fans can expect the highly anticipated sequel to launch simultaneously on PC and the Nintendo Switch 2, as well as the original Switch, later this year.

Following the reveal at last week's Nintendo Direct that Hades 2 would grace the enhanced Switch 2, Supergiant has now 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 developer announced via X/Twitter.

While the future availability on other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S remains uncertain, fans are eagerly awaiting further updates.

Hades 2 continues the legacy of its predecessor by blending captivating storytelling with thrilling roguelite action in a dungeon-crawling adventure. In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, the game earned a remarkable 9/10 score. "Hades 2 feels impossibly huge and unbelievably polished by any standard, much less an early access game," the review stated. "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."
