Hades 2 is leaving Early Access this month

In a surprise announcement during the latest Nintendo Direct, developer Supergiant Games has confirmed that its critically acclaimed sequel, Hades II, is officially leaving early access. The full 1.0 version of the game is set to launch in just a couple of weeks, on September 25th.

Alongside the 1.0 launch on PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), the game will also be making its console debut on the Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2. Supergiant has confirmed that the Switch 2 version will feature a high-performance mode, running at 120 fps when in TV Mode, while the original Switch will target 60 fps. For now, it appears to be a timed console exclusive, similar to the launch of the original game, with PlayStation and Xbox versions likely to follow later.

Moreover, the Switch versions will support cross-saves. This will allow players to seamlessly transfer their progress from PC save files to their Nintendo console, enabling them to take their progress on the go.

The game first launched into early access back in May 2024 and has been met with an overwhelmingly positive reception from both critics and players. Supergiant has been signalling that the 1.0 release was imminent, with a series of major updates over the past few months that have brought the game's content to completion.
