Hades 2 leaving Early Access later this month

Roguelite Hades 2 is set to leave Early Access later this month. 

During the recent Nintendo Direct, developer Supergiant revealed that the title would be making its console debut on Nintendo Switch on September 25th. In a post on Steam, the studio confirmed that a 1.0 version of the roguelite was going to be coming out on that date. 

Hades 2 was released into Early Access back in May 2024. When it first launched, it was the second-highest-grossing game on Steam for the week

"Hades 2 is our team's first-ever sequel, and we've been giving it everything we've got for more than four and a half years," Supergiant wrote. 

"Since May of 2024, we've been developing in Early Access, taking feedback from our player community to try and fully realize this game's potential. The result is the biggest game we've ever made, and one we hope you'll find to be a worthy successor to its namesake.

"To all our Early Access players, thank you so much for all the inspiration and support! And to all our prospective players, thank you for your patience. We can't wait to share the full game with you later this month."
