In an exciting announcement for gaming enthusiasts, Supergiant Games has confirmed that their highly anticipated sequel, Hades 2, will be exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 consoles at launch. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series players will have to wait a bit longer, as the game is expected to be released on those platforms at a later date. This revelation was made during the latest episode of "Creator’s Voice" at Nintendo, where key members of the Supergiant team—including studio leads Greg Kasavin, Amir Rao, and Darren Korb—discussed the development of Hades 2 and shared insights into the new gameplay elements that players can expect.Hades 2 marks a significant milestone for Supergiant Games, as it is the studio's very first sequel, directly following in the footsteps of the original Hades—a game that not only captured the hearts of players but also garnered multiple Game of the Year awards. Historically, the studio has focused on standalone titles, with critically acclaimed games such as Bastion and Transistor being among their notable releases. Greg Kasavin humorously acknowledged this shift by stating, "After more than 15 years, we decided to try one." He further expressed the team's cautious approach to sequels, stating, "We approach sequels with a great deal of fear and respect."A significant part of Hades 2's development has centered around optimizing performance and enhancing gameplay controls. The Supergiant team has attributed many of the game’s qualities to the hardware capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2. Amir Rao, the Studio Director at Supergiant Games, shared, "We learned so much from developing the original game on Nintendo Switch, and we wanted to take those learnings forward on Nintendo Switch 2. That meant for us being completely uncompromising when it comes to performance. We really, really, really want our games to perform at 60 frames per second, and with the extra power of the Nintendo Switch 2 we know we can push some of the graphical features with the extra power."While the exhilaration surrounding the announcement is palpable, fans will need to exercise patience regarding the release date. As of now, neither Nintendo nor Supergiant Games has provided a specific launch date. However, the Creator’s Voice video concluded with a promise of more information to come later this year. Rao concluded the presentation with heartfelt gratitude, stating, “We could not make these games without the support of our fans, and we’re really grateful for it.”For those who are eager to dive back into the underworld, Hades 2 is currently available for early access on Steam, allowing dedicated fans to experience the sequel ahead of its full launch. As anticipation builds, the gaming community eagerly awaits further updates about this promising sequel, which aims to build upon the legacy of its predecessor.
