Hades 2 is set to make its mark on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. While a specific release date remains under wraps, developer Supergiant has confirmed that the eagerly awaited sequel will launch simultaneously on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and the original Nintendo Switch later this year.

Following the announcement at last week's Nintendo Direct, it's now clear that Hades 2 won't just be available on both Switch models but will also enjoy a period of exclusivity on Nintendo's consoles. This was clarified by Supergiant Games on X/Twitter, stating:

"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."

While it's exciting to know when Hades 2 will hit the Switch, it's still uncertain when the game will expand to other consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

Hades 2 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, blending captivating storytelling with roguelite action in a thrilling dungeon-crawling adventure.

In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, we praised the game, awarding it a 9/10 and 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."
