Hades 2 is set to launch on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive, adding to the excitement surrounding this eagerly awaited sequel. Although a specific release date has not been announced, developer Supergiant has confirmed that Hades 2 will be available on PC, as well as both the original Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2, simultaneously later this year.
The announcement came on the heels of last week's Nintendo Direct, where it was revealed that Hades 2 would grace the Nintendo Switch 2. Supergiant Games took to X/Twitter to clarify that the game's v1.0 version would not only launch on the Early Access platforms (Steam and Epic Games Store) but also on both Nintendo Switch models at the same time.
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.

While the exact timeline for Hades 2's availability on other consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S remains uncertain, fans are buzzing with anticipation.
Hades 2 builds on the success of its predecessor, blending compelling storytelling with roguelite action in a thrilling dungeon-crawling experience. IGN's Hades 2 early-access review praised the game, awarding it a 9/10 and noting, "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."For those eager to learn more, be sure to check out all the third-party games confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2.
