By the whiskers of Zeus!

Nintendo’s latest addition to its Swap 2 ‘Creator’s Squawk’ series partners with the talented individuals over at Supergiant Games for an in-depth exploration of Hades II. Along with a comprehensive overview of the game itself, the recent video also provides an exciting detail for us Nintendo enthusiasts: Hades II will be available on Swap and Swap 2 before it hits other platforms.
We still do not possess a confirmed release date for the roguelike sequel just yet, although the aforementioned video mentions that it will be “Launching first for consoles on Nintendo Switch 2”. The developer was quick to share on Twitter that the game will also come to Swap 1 on the same day as its version 1.0 launch on PC, where it has been available in early access since last year.
The original game seemed perfectly tailored for Swap when it launched back in 2020, with its pick-up-and-play mechanics fitting seamlessly with the console’s hybrid nature — and our embarrassing amount of play time proves it.
After such great anticipation, it will be fascinating to see if the sequel satisfies the same craving when it arrives on our beloved Nintendo consoles. Based on our hands-on experience with the early access version of the game, we believe this will turn out to be quite the time investment once again.
Will you be picking up Hades II on Swap or Swap 2? Let us know in the comments.
