Hades II Announces Switch 2 Release Date and Cross-Save Support During Nintendo Direct

Hades II, the eagerly anticipated sequel from acclaimed indie developer Supergiant Games, is officially set to launch simultaneously on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC on September 25, 2025.

The announcement came during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, cementing Hades II as a major multi-platform release set to delight fans of the original critically acclaimed title.

Supergiant Games, well known for innovative hit titles like Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, and the original Hades, returns to the world of Greek mythology with its very first direct sequel.

After a successful PC early access period, Hades II’s full v1.0 update will arrive across multiple platforms, allowing players on Nintendo’s current and upcoming hardware to experience the roguelike’s enhanced gameplay and storytelling. In alignment with its predecessor’s Switch launch, Hades II offers extra convenience for Nintendo players.

Anyone who purchases the Nintendo Switch version will receive a free upgrade to the Switch 2 version, ensuring that early adopters are fully supported as Nintendo transitions to new hardware.

Moreover, Supergiant confirmed that cross-save functionality will be available between Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC, allowing seamless progress transfer for players switching devices or continuing play sessions on the go. Performance improvements were also emphasized during the Direct.

On Switch 2, Hades II is set to run at 120 frames per second and 1080p resolution in TV mode, and 60fps at 1080p in handheld mode.

The current Nintendo Switch edition will run at 60fps and 720p resolution in both docked and handheld modes, delivering a smooth gameplay experience across the board. Pre-orders for Hades II are open now through the Nintendo eShop, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

For collectors and physical media fans, a boxed release will follow on November 20, 2025.

The September 2025 Nintendo Direct featured additional major announcements.

Resident Evil Requiem was confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2, along with same-day ports of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is set for an early 2026 launch, promising a fresh experience of the classic RPG.

In a surprise move, Nintendo also revealed the return of Virtual Boy, releasing as a Switch accessory, with its original games coming to Nintendo Switch Online in February 2026. With Hades II’s expanded availability, technical enhancements, and cross-save features, Supergiant Games continues its strong track record of supporting players across platforms.

As anticipation builds, fans can mark September 25 on their calendars for the next chapter in one of gaming’s most celebrated indie franchises.
