Hades 2 Set for Exclusive Release on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2

Hades 2 is set to launch on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, marking it as a timed console exclusive. While an exact release date hasn't been announced, developer Supergiant has confirmed that the much-awaited sequel will hit PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and the original Switch simultaneously later this year.

The news of Hades 2 coming to Nintendo's enhanced Switch 2 was first revealed during last week's Nintendo Direct. Supergiant Games has since clarified on X/Twitter that Hades 2 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 team stated.

It remains unclear when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, we praised it with a 9/10 score, 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."
