Hades II Release Date Locked In

Supergiant Games has confirmed a release date for Hades II on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, news that was shared in this week’s Nintendo Direct presentation.

In this bewitching sequel to the original rogue-like dungeon crawler, you must battle beyond the Underworld to vanquish the Titan of Time as the Princess of the Dead. You will have the chance to explore a bigger, deeper mythic world with the full might of Olympus at their call in a story that reacts to their every setback and accomplishment.

The game runs at 120 frames per second at 1080p in TV Mode on Nintendo Switch 2, and 60 frames per second at 1080p in Handheld Mode. On the original Nintendo Switch, it runs at 60 frames per second at 720p in both modes. Those who purchase the Nintendo Switch version can download a free upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 version.

The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:

Battle Beyond The Underworld: As the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you’ll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the forces of the Titan of Time with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment.
Master Witchcraft and Dark Sorcery: Infuse your legendary weapons of Night with ancient magick, so that none may stand in your way. Become stronger still with powerful Boons from more than a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus. There are nearly limitless ways to build your abilities.
Mingle With (More) Gods, Ghosts and Monsters: Meet a cast of dozens of fully-voiced, larger-than-life characters, including plenty of new faces and some old friends. Grow closer to them through a variety of new interactions, and experience countless unique story events based on how your journey unfolds.
Every Run Is Its Own Adventure: New locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and surprises await as you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld again and again. Reveal the mysteries of the Arcana Altar, tame witchy familiars, and gather reagents using Tools of the Unseen to get closer to your goal.
The Perks of Immortality: Thanks to a variety of permanent upgrades and the return of God Mode, you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience what Hades II has to offer. But if you happen to be one, you can brave escalating challenges for greater rewards, and prove just how divine you really are.
Signature Supergiant Style: Rich, atmospheric presentation and storytelling fused with responsive action is the hallmark of Supergiant’s titles. Vivid new hand-painted environments, even smoother real-time 3D characters, and an electrifying original score make this mythic world burst with life.

Hades II Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and Hades II will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch worldwide on 25 September 2025.
