Hades 2 finally leaves early access later this month with a timed exclusive console release on Switch 2 and OG Switch

Supergiant Games has revealed that Hades 2 1.0 will be released on September 25 as a Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 console exclusive.

After saying the game was gearing up to finally launch back in June, Supergiant Games has confirmed that Hades 2 1.0 is finally releasing on September 25, 2025. Considering how much this series loves to shadow drop, this is somewhat of a surprise, but that's still only a couple of weeks away.

The game was shown off with a new cinematic trailer, before going into some gameplay with a frankly banger soundtrack choice. Nintendo confirmed that the game will run at 1080p / 120fps on Switch 2 when in docked mode, with the handheld running at 1080p / 60fps. Supergiant later confirmed in a tweet that the game will run at 60fps on the original Nintendo Switch.

Supergiant confirmed shortly after the game's appearance in the Nintendo Direct that the September 25 release date will be the same for Steam and the Epic Games Store, with the game having cross saves across PC and Nintendo. There will also be a physical edition released on November 20, 2025.

However, it was called a console timed exclusive on the Nintendo Direct, so PS5 and Xbox players will have to wait a bit longer, but Hades 2 will be coming to the consoles. This was the case for the original game too, where it released on PlayStation and Xbox 11 months after the Nintendo Switch release, so be prepared to wait almost a year if you don't have a PC or Nintendo console.
