Supergiant’s Hades 2<\/a> is officially set to release on September 25, 2025, for Nintendo Switch 2, and will surely consume my life just as much as the first game did all those years ago.<\/p>\n

Look, I know this release schedule is going to confuse somebody, so let me break it down bit by bit for you. Hades 2 will release digitally, as I mentioned, in September 2025, and again later as a physical edition on November 20, 2025. <\/p>\n

Now, let’s discuss both and what your options are for preordering each edition.<\/p>\n

Hades 2 – Physical Edition<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/section>\n

Hades 2 is now available to preorder in physical format via Amazon<\/a>, Walmart, and Best Buy for $49.99. You won’t have to pay anything until release, as each retailer charges on dispatch, not order date.<\/p>\n

The physical Nintendo Switch 2 edition will include the full game on a card, so it’s not a digital game key<\/a> like many other third-party Switch 2 games.<\/p>\n

It also comes in that bright red Switch 2 case, but surprisingly, <\/em>the game card will also work on an original Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite<\/strong>. This is because both versions of the game are packed on the cartridge, with no cost for upgrading the game from Switch to Switch 2 either.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting for any savvy shoppers out there that the physical Switch 2 edition of the game costs $49.99, and is $20 more<\/strong> than the standard digital copy at $29.99.<\/p>\n

And finally, it’s also worth noting that it’s a timed console exclusive<\/a>, with currently no word on when we can expect the game beyond Switch platforms, and release on PlayStation and Xbox (but if I’d wager a guess, it’ll be late 2026 to early 2027). <\/p>\n
