The wait is nearly over—Hades 2 officially launches worldwide on September 25, 2025, stepping out of early access and into full release. Developed by Supergiant Games, the sequel to the award-winning roguelite brings a richer mythological world, new gods of Olympus at your side, and a story that adapts to your victories and defeats.
A bigger sequel with console exclusivity
Hades 2 builds on the fast-paced dungeon-crawling action that made the original a hit. This time, the game debuts as a timed console exclusive on Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2. Players can expect performance boosts, with 120fps in TV Mode on Switch 2 and 60fps on the original Switch, with free upgrade options available.
