Hades 2 is set to make a splash on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. While an exact release date remains under wraps, Supergiant Games has confirmed that the eagerly awaited sequel will hit PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and the original Switch simultaneously later this year. This exciting news was revealed after last week's Nintendo Direct, where it was initially announced that Hades 2 would grace the new Switch 2. Supergiant Games has since clarified on X/Twitter that the game's v1.0 version will launch on their Early Access platforms (Steam and Epic Games Store), alongside both Switch models.

While the exact timing for Hades 2's release on other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S remains uncertain, fans can look forward to diving into this sequel. Hades 2 builds upon the success of Supergiant's original game, blending captivating storytelling with roguelite action in an immersive dungeon-crawling adventure.
In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, the game received a stellar 9/10, with the review 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."
