Hades 2 Announced for Nintendo Switch & Switch 2

Hades 2 will arrive on Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive.

Although a specific release date remains unannounced, developer Supergiant confirmed that the highly anticipated sequel will launch simultaneously on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and the original Nintendo Switch later this year.

We previously learned that Hades 2 would be coming to the enhanced Nintendo Switch 2 from last week’s Nintendo Direct, but Supergiant has since clarified that it won’t just release on both Switch generations—it will also be a timed exclusive for Nintendo’s consoles.

The team recently stated on X/Twitter: "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."

For now, it remains unclear when Hades 2 will eventually become available on other platforms such as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Hades 2 is the follow-up to Supergiant’s acclaimed original, blending immersive narrative and roguelite action within a rich dungeon-crawling adventure.

In IGN’s early-access review of Hades 2, we gave it a 9/10, writing: “Hades 2 feels impossibly vast and remarkably polished by any measure—especially for an early-access release. Mel is a fantastic protagonist, the combat and progression enhancements are superb, and the sheer volume of content easily doubles that of the first game.

“The experience available right now is stunning, and the prospect of future updates makes it all the more enticing.”
