Original Story: [Fri 27th Mar, 2026 06:15 GMT]:

Hades II developer Supergiant Games yesterday announced it would be bringing the Princess of the Underworld to Xbox and PlayStation platforms on 14th April 2026. If you're wondering how this is relevant to Nintendo, well, according to the team, there'll be an update released for all platforms on the same date.

As revealed on the official company blog, if you already have a copy of the game, you can expect this patch to arrive on the "same day". While no patch notes have been shared at this stage, fans on Switch and Switch 2 can apparently expect some "bonus content and quality-of-life improvements" for the roguelike.

To celebrate all of this, Supergiant has also shared a brand-new animation mixed in with some gameplay footage:

Hades II originally launched on the Nintendo eShop last September and was followed by a physical release in November. This also included a free upgrade path with performance and resolution enhancements.

Here's a bit about it from our review, where we awarded this title an "excellent" nine out of ten stars:

"Supergiant Games is five-for-five with Hades II, a huge, triumphant sequel that manages to diverge mechanically and offer more challenges and variety than its predecessor. It helps that it’s nearly faultless on Switch 2 in particular."

Hades II has also received some updates since then, including the addition of True Ending Enhancements.

Will you be returning to Hades II next month to try out the new update? How are you finding the experience on Nintendo's platforms so far? Let us know in the comments.
