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 hasn't been announced, developer Supergiant has confirmed that the eagerly awaited sequel will be available on PC, as well as on the original and new Nintendo Switch models, simultaneously later this year.
The announcement that Hades 2 would be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 was first teased during last week's Nintendo Direct. However, Supergiant has since clarified that the game will not only be available on both Switch versions 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 on X/Twitter.

It remains unclear when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
Hades 2 is the much-anticipated follow-up to Supergiant's acclaimed first game, blending captivating storytelling with roguelite action and dungeon-crawling gameplay.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."
