Exciting news for game enthusiasts! The highly anticipated sequel, Hades II, is set to be a console exclusive for Nintendo Switch systems upon its official release from early access. Nintendo has just confirmed that the game will be launching on both the original Switch and the upcoming Switch 2. As fans eagerly await further updates, a new video from Nintendo provides intriguing insights into the game’s development.

In the recent Creator’s Voice video, Supergiant Games showcased their commitment to delivering a top-notch gaming experience, emphasizing that achieving 60 frames per second (fps) gameplay is a priority. Developers hinted that they will leverage the enhanced capabilities of the Switch 2 to elevate the game's graphical features. Although specifics regarding the Switch 2 version are still under wraps, the video serves as a comprehensive introduction for those who might not be up-to-date with the progress of this promising sequel, which is currently available in early access on PC.

Interestingly, a screen within the video mentioned that Hades II would launch “first for consoles on Nintendo Switch 2.” However, to clarify any confusion, Supergiant Games took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to reaffirm that the game will also be released for the original Nintendo Switch when it reaches version 1.0. This ensures that both dedicated fans of the original console and newcomers will have access to the latest installment.

While there is no definitive release date yet, Supergiant has promised to share more details later this year. This announcement will undoubtedly keep the excitement brewing among fans.

In the gaming community, Hades II has already garnered significant attention. Many players, including my colleague Jay Peters, have shared their thrilling experiences with the early access version of the game. For those who have yet to dive into the original title, now might be the perfect time to revisit Hades and perhaps conquer that elusive final boss!
