Hades II Patch 1 Update: True Ending Enhancements and Major Fixes Arrive on Nintendo Switch Platforms

Supergiant Games has delivered the highly anticipated first major patch for Hades II, their massively acclaimed roguelike sequel, now available for download on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 platforms.

This substantial update, following the game’s successful launch in September 2025, brings a wealth of improvements that address player feedback and further enhance the experience on Nintendo hardware. Hades II, developed by renowned indie studio Supergiant Games, continues the legacy of its predecessor with deep combat mechanics, rich storytelling, and innovative roguelike design.

After debuting to widespread critical acclaim—garnering a nine out of ten in reviews on Switch 2—the game has quickly established itself as a standout title in the Nintendo eShop library.

The post-launch support from Supergiant Games underscores the developer’s commitment to quality and community engagement. The Patch 1 update rolling out today delivers a host of fixes, tweaks, and fresh content.

Chief among these enhancements is a complete overhaul of the True Ending.

Building on early Steam beta feedback, the update adds additional story events both leading up to and following the True Ending, increases the number of Underworld clears required, and revises core narrative scenes—improvements that address previous criticisms about the game’s conclusion.

Reviewers noted that "the ending previously failed to fully deliver," but these enhancements have been met with enthusiasm from early testers. In addition, the patch includes: - The ability to use a new Cauldron incantation to revisit key story moments, offering players a chance to re-experience major events. - Adjustments to various Fated Prophecies, speeding up the fulfillment of character arcs and story resolutions. - Crossroads Renewal, which introduces reduced pricing on decorative items and refunds for previously spent Kudos, making upgrades more accessible. - Updates to boss encounters, boons, and aspects to further balance gameplay, such as increased damage for certain abilities and more streamlined path progression. - Visual upgrades, including new artwork, improved character animations, and a host of minor refinements to environments and UI. - Enhanced voice lines and additional events, enriching interactions with central characters like Chronos, Zagreus, Hecate, and Hades. - Quality-of-life features, such as options to toggle visual effects and limit frame rates, as well as expanded compatibility with macOS. A comprehensive set of bug fixes accompanies the content changes.

These address a wide range of issues from inventory quirks and UI inconsistencies to specific gameplay elements, ensuring a more stable and immersive experience for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 players. Supergiant Games has once again demonstrated its dedication to maintaining the high standards fans expect from their games.

With robust post-launch content and a rapid response to community input, Hades II on Nintendo Switch platforms remains a premier example of indie excellence in 2025.

Players can find the full Patch 1 notes on the official Steam page or through the Switch eShop.

With these updates, Hades II further cements its status as one of the year’s most compelling roguelikes, continuing to delight fans and critics alike.
