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 both the original Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2, simultaneously later this year.
The news of Hades 2 coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 was first revealed during last week's Nintendo Direct. Supergiant has since clarified on X/Twitter that the game will not only be available on both Switch versions but will also serve as a timed exclusive for 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's currently 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 sequel to Supergiant's critically acclaimed first game, blending compelling storytelling with roguelite action in a dungeon-crawling adventure. In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, the game received a 9/10, with the reviewer 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."
