Get ready, gamers! Hades 2 is set to make its grand entrance on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. While we're still waiting for a specific release date, developer Supergiant has officially confirmed that fans can expect the much-anticipated sequel to hit PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and the original Nintendo Switch simultaneously later this year.
The excitement kicked off last week with the Nintendo Direct, revealing Hades 2's arrival on the powerful Switch 2. But Supergiant didn't stop there—they've now clarified that Hades 2 isn't just coming to both Switch versions; it'll 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 via X/Twitter, ensuring fans are in the loop.

As for when Hades 2 will grace other consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, that remains under wraps for now.
Hades 2 is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Supergiant's smash hit, blending captivating storytelling with roguelite action in an immersive dungeon-crawling adventure. IGN's Hades 2 early-access review praised it highly, awarding a 9/10 score. "Hades 2 feels impossibly huge and unbelievably polished by any standard, much less an early access game," the review stated. "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."
