Hades 2: One Year in Early Access

Progress Toward Official Launch

Supergiant Games recently commemorated Hades 2's first anniversary in early access, which began on May 6, 2024. The development team expressed gratitude for the community's ongoing support while confirming they're advancing toward the complete version.

Their official statement noted: "Witnessing players recognize the potential we see in this project has been both thrilling and enlightening. We appreciate your valuable feedback and understanding as we approach the final stages of development!"

The original Hades underwent a similar early access period spanning 22 months before its full debut. Supergiant appears positioned to deliver Hades 2's final version more rapidly, beginning with its timed exclusive debut on Nintendo's next-generation console.

Nintendo Switch 2 Timed Exclusive

During Nintendo's Creator's Voice presentation, Supergiant confirmed Hades 2 will premiere as a timed exclusive for Nintendo Switch 2. With the new console scheduled for June 5 release, the game could launch simultaneously or shortly thereafter.

The sequel continues the beloved god-like rogue legacy that captivated countless players. Developers emphasized this represents Supergiant's first sequel endeavor, acknowledging that continuing such an acclaimed franchise demands "significant reverence and careful consideration."

Hades 2 remains available through early access, with full release planned first for Nintendo Switch 2 and existing Switch consoles before arriving on PC. For continuous updates about the game's development timeline, explore our detailed coverage below.
