Although it's unclear when Hades 2 will eventually make its way to other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, fans can look forward to its initial release on Nintendo's platforms.

As the sequel to Supergiant's acclaimed first game, Hades 2 continues to blend captivating storytelling with roguelite action in a dungeon-crawling adventure. IGN's Hades 2 early-access review praised the game, awarding it a stellar 9/10. "Hades 2 feels impossibly huge and unbelievably polished by any standard, much less an early access game," the review noted. "Mel is awesome, the new tweaks to the combat and progression are excellent, and it's just unbelievably feature packed with twice the content of the first. What’s here right out of the gate is astounding, and the thought of more coming on the way is a tantalizing treat."
