Hades II Release Date Announced: Timed Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 Console Exclusive

Supergiant Games, the acclaimed indie developer behind best-selling roguelike Hades, has officially announced the release date for Hades II on Nintendo hardware.

In a highly anticipated move revealed during a recent Nintendo Direct, the digital edition of Hades II will arrive as a timed console exclusive on both Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Switch 2 platforms starting 25th September 2025.

Physical editions for both consoles are set for release on 20th November 2025, providing fans with additional ways to own and experience the game. Hades II is the follow-up to the multi-award-winning original, which captured critical acclaim and commercial success upon its release.

This latest installment continues Supergiant Games' legacy of delivering rich narrative gameplay, intense action mechanics, and a visually distinctive art style.

The forthcoming Switch 2 Edition of Hades II will take full advantage of the upgraded hardware, offering enhanced performance with support for 1080p resolution at a smooth 120 frames per second.

This announcement is significant for players seeking the best possible gameplay experience and reflects Nintendo's ongoing commitment to supporting high-profile third-party releases on both current and future consoles. In an official statement during the announcement, Supergiant Games emphasized their excitement about partnering with Nintendo for the launch window of Hades II.

While the digital version launches first as a timed exclusive on both Switch and Switch 2, the physical release set for November will offer collectors and fans an opportunity to own a tangible copy. The first Hades made its debut on Nintendo Switch before expanding to other platforms, and quickly became one of the platform’s most celebrated indie releases.

By securing Hades II as a timed console exclusive for the Switch and Switch 2, Nintendo continues its strategy of leveraging major indie and third-party games to bolster its platform’s library during a pivotal period leading up to the Switch 2’s launch. Both editions, digital and physical, will be available via the Nintendo eShop and participating retailers.

Hades II joins a lineup of major releases targeting late 2025, further cementing Nintendo’s place at the heart of the indie and action game community.
