Hades 2: Timed Exclusive for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2

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 eagerly awaited sequel will hit PC and the Nintendo Switch 2, alongside the original Switch, simultaneously later this year.

The announcement came after last week's Nintendo Direct, where it was initially revealed that Hades 2 would be coming to the enhanced Switch 2. Supergiant Games has since clarified on X/Twitter that the game will not only be available on both Switch 1 and Switch 2 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 uncertain when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, we praised the game, giving 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."
