Hades 2 Nears Full Release: "Closer to Finish Line"

Hades 2 is making significant strides towards its full release as it marks its first anniversary in early access. This milestone comes exactly a year after its initial early access launch on May 6, 2024. Supergiant Games, the developer behind this eagerly awaited sequel, took to Twitter (X) to express their gratitude to the community for their support and patience. They highlighted the progress made and their ongoing efforts to bring the game to its full potential, stating, "It's been incredibly exciting and eye-opening as we've worked to realize the potential so many of you see in our game. Thank you for all your feedback and patience as we get closer to the finish line!"

Nearing Its Full Release

Drawing from the experience with its predecessor, Hades, which spent 22 months in early access before its full release, Supergiant Games is optimistic about bringing Hades 2 to completion sooner. The development team is focused on refining the game and ensuring a smoother transition to its full launch. Excitingly, they have announced that Hades 2 will enjoy a time-exclusive release on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, signaling the start of its journey to full availability across platforms.

Launching First on the Nintendo Switch 2

In a recent episode of Nintendo’s Creator’s Voice video series, Supergiant Games shared that Hades 2 will debut on the Nintendo Switch 2. With the Switch 2 set to launch on June 5, fans can anticipate Hades 2's arrival around that time frame. This move underscores the game's significance as the first sequel Supergiant has ever produced, a step taken with "a great deal of fear and respect" according to the developers.

Currently available in early access, Hades 2 is poised to first hit the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Nintendo Switch before eventually making its way to PC. As the sequel to the beloved rogue-like, Hades, which captivated fans with its god-like narrative and gameplay, Hades 2 promises to build on its predecessor's success.
