The recent Nintendo Direct has revealed an exciting catalog of titles for the upcoming hybrid console, Nintendo Switch 2. One of the standout announcements is the arrival of Hades 2, the highly anticipated roguelite from Supergiant Games, which will launch as a timed exclusive on the new platform. The game, which is currently in early access on PC, will be available first on Switch 2, although the duration of this exclusivity has not yet been confirmed. Fans are wondering when the title will arrive on other platforms like PlayStation and Xbox, as both Nintendo and Supergiant have kept this information under wraps.
Other very juicy… and expensive exclusive games
A recent promotional video of Hades 2 published by Nintendo on X offers a deeper look at the game’s storyline and mechanics, and follows the journey of Melinoë, a new protagonist. At the end of the video, it is mentioned that the game will be released first for consoles on Nintendo Switch 2, promising more details in the near future.
In addition to Hades 2, the Nintendo Direct brought surprises from FromSoftware with the announcement of The Duskbloods, a PvPvE game directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, scheduled to be released in 2026 exclusively on the new Nintendo console. Although many hope that this title will come to other platforms, the fact that it is coming in partnership with Nintendo indicates that its future availability remains uncertain.
Among other major announcements were titles such as Mario Kart: World and Donkey Kong: Bananza, which add more reasons to consider the new console. It is also anticipated that Supergiant Games will share more information about Hades 2 and other projects in 2025. Fans will be on the lookout for any updates regarding this exciting phase for Nintendo.
