The surprise award-winning hit, Hades<\/strong> <\/em>by Supergiant Games, took Steam by storm when it fully released in mid-September last year. This indie-dungeon crawler has captured the hearts of many with it\u2019s lovable cast of characters and addicting gameplay. So when it was announced that the game was getting a proper physical release at the February 2021 Nintendo Direct<\/a>, fans of the rogue-like were overjoyed to hear. Also releasing with the physical copy, players will have access to a code that provides two and a half hours of music, as well as a physical booklet compendium of the in-game characters.<\/p>\n

Hades<\/a><\/em> was first released on Switch when the game came out of early access on September 17, 2020. While the game had been in early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store since 2019, it hadn\u2019t launched into the national spotlight until its full release on PC and Switch. Hades<\/em> surpassed over a million sales in a week, with the online community abuzz with their favorite characters, \u2018ships, and fan art. This only led to the cementing of the Hades <\/em>fandom, with the level of love for the game lasting well into the new year.<\/p>\n

On March 19th, 2021, Switch gamers will finally be able to get their hands on a physical copy of Hades<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0This speaks volumes about the potential that Nintendo sees in Hades<\/em>, as mass producing physical copies and art books doesn\u2019t come cheap. It\u2019s good news for Supergiant, which has a number of other popular titles under its belt, as this will only translate into further profits that can help them create additional content and boons for Hades<\/em>. If it doesn’t get major post-launch updates, this will help them fund more hit titles from Supergiant in the future.<\/p>\n

It should be noted this hasn\u2019t been the first time Supergiant Games has been so highly reviewed it’s seen a title ported to a physical copy. Bastion<\/em>, Supergiant\u2019s beautiful RPG,<\/a> received a temporary physical run on Limited Run Games\u2019 website for PS4 and PlayStation Vita consoles. With physical copies still going in the mid $30 range, it\u2019s likely that has been no problem selling the stock of this beloved game. If the love for Hades in the fan base is similar to that of Bastion<\/em> 10 years after its initial release, then Supergiant could be pulling in profit from this move for years to come.<\/p>\n

As far as indie games go, this is huge news for Supergiant Games<\/a>. Not only does this set the company up for new profits, it boosts its credibility with other big game publishers and consoles. Whether this will sell or not depends heavily on the players around the game. Are fans willing to pay extra for a copy of the game they\u2019ve already beaten? This is where the addition of the art book and downloadable soundtrack will shine, as long-time fans of the game have been asking for just that for months, so it seems safe to assume “yes” in the answer to the question.<\/p>\n

Hades<\/em> <\/strong>is available now for PC and Switch.<\/p>\n
