Hades 2 is set to make its debut on both the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. While an exact release date remains under wraps, developer Supergiant has confirmed that the much-anticipated sequel will launch simultaneously on PC and the Nintendo Switch 2, alongside the original Switch, later this year.

The announcement of Hades 2 coming to Nintendo's enhanced Switch 2 was initially revealed during last week's Nintendo Direct. However, Supergiant has since clarified 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 on X/Twitter.

Currently, there is no information available on 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," we noted. "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."
