Hades 2 is set to make its debut on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, serving as a timed console exclusive. Although a specific release date hasn't been announced, Supergiant Games has confirmed that the much-anticipated sequel will launch on PC, alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch, later this year.

The announcement of Hades 2's arrival on the enhanced Nintendo Switch 2 was initially revealed during last week's Nintendo Direct. Supergiant Games has since clarified that the game will not only 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 stated on X/Twitter.

Currently, it remains unclear when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

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."
