And finally, it's also worth noting that it's a [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/hades-2-is-a-timed-console-exclusive-on-nintendo-switch-1-and-2-plays-at-120fps-in-tv-mode']timed console exclusive[/URL], 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).
