Hades 2 is set to launch on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. While an exact release date remains under wraps, developer Supergiant has confirmed that the much-anticipated sequel will hit PC and Nintendo Switch 2, alongside the original Switch, simultaneously later this year.
The news of Hades 2 coming to Nintendo's enhanced Switch 2 was initially shared during last week's Nintendo Direct. However, Supergiant has since clarified on X/Twitter that the game won't just 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 announced.

It's currently unclear when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
Hades 2 is the follow-up to Supergiant's acclaimed first game, blending captivating storytelling with roguelite action in a dungeon-crawling adventure.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. What’s here right out of the gate is astounding, and the thought of more coming on the way is a tantalizing treat."
