Get ready, fans of the underworld! Hades 2 is making its way to both the Nintendo Switch and the newly announced Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. While we eagerly await a specific release date, Supergiant Games has confirmed that this eagerly anticipated sequel will launch simultaneously on PC and the Nintendo Switch 2, along with the original Switch, later this year.

The news broke during last week's Nintendo Direct, revealing that Hades 2 would grace the beefed-up Switch 2. But Supergiant didn't stop there—they've now clarified that Hades 2 won't just be available on both Switch versions; it'll also be a timed exclusive for Nintendo's consoles. This exciting development was shared directly by the team on X/Twitter:

"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 the exact timing for Hades 2's arrival on other consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S remains under wraps, fans can rest assured knowing that the game is coming to their preferred platforms eventually.

Hades 2 builds on the success of its predecessor, blending captivating storytelling with roguelite action in an immersive dungeon-crawling adventure. IGN's Hades 2 early-access review praised the game, awarding it a stellar 9/10. "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."
