If you've been keeping your ear close to the ground and are a big fan of indie titles, there's a pretty good chance that Hades is already on your radar. The latest game from Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre developer Supergiant Games has been making waves since its recent 1.0 PC release as well as a port to Nintendo Switch, so you might be wondering if there's any chance of a PlayStation 4 port or even a PlayStation 5 version. And while there hasn't been any official confirmation, the future does look bright for this trip to hell and back.
Responding to a fan on Twitter, the official Supergiant Games account said: "We'll be considering opportunities to bring the game to additional platforms down the line." So, the team isn't committing to anything right now, but it definitely looks like an avenue it will explore in the near future. A PS5 release in early 2021 sounds perfect to us given the possibility of a next-gen content drought.
If you don't know what Hades is though, allow us to explain. This is a top-down roguelite all about escaping the underworld, utilising weapons and mythical powers. It had already drum up a lot of excitement during an early access phase on PC, but now that it has hit Nintendo Switch, the praise and glowing reviews haven't stopped coming in.
Take our sister site Nintendo Life, for example, who awarded the game a rare 10/10. "Hades is a sublime mix of satisfyingly gritty and flexible combat, a wonderfully vibrant art style and genuinely fun and engaging narrative. Supergiant Games has an excellent track record thus far but this really does feel its finest hour, a rip-roaring rampage through the underworld that's arrived here on Switch in a port that's nigh-on perfect." It most certainly sounds like one to keep your eye on.

Bring it over! 1.0 is even better than I thought it could have been from the beta, one of the games of the generation, no doubt about it.
Would love that!
This game needs to come to ps4. Supergiant are one of my favorite dev teams. I understood they wanted to do early access as they've never done a roguelike before. But very strange it launched as a switch console exclusive.
I wonder what soured the developers relationship with Playstation, considering all their previous games were first released on Sony’s platform... 🤔
I remember supergiant games is close to sony on early ps4 days, why now their games is released last on ps4? Sony should repair their connection with indies, the early days of ps4 is more interesting with great indie games released on the console.
Transistor, their first game on ps4, is one of my early platinum, I like the game so much that after I finish it, I replayed again to get the plat.
This is the true game of the year.
I have it on my Switch and it's a joy to play. It looks and sounds great but even the action is superb. You can play cautious or straight up attack everything like a tazmanian devil on speed.
Yes, please bring it to the PortBegging5 🤣
Now that Microsoft has made that huge purchase might as well start getting used to the moniker. 😎
I'm giggling. Don't know why tho.
@nessisonett Hi there friend. I agree with you completely.
Absolutely worth the high score. It is probably the best rougue like action game out there right now.
Such a good game, with amazing visuals, catchy soundtrack, great character design and a very interesting story.
Cheers, stay safe out there and happy gaming to us all
Supergiant Games is one of my favorite developers. Every game they make is high quality-Story, music, gameplay all great, every time. For those who have not tried them, I cannot recommend Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre enough.
I really want Hades to come to PS4/PS5. I will buy it and play it on our Switch if I must (and if the kids allow it!)-I am not missing Hades. But I would greatly prefer to play it on PS4/PS5.
Absolutely loved their last game, Pyre. Very much looking forward to playing this.
Was about to purchase then I realised my backlog is real and I haven't even gotten to Pyre yet
Such a good game! Recommended.

@MemSec Don't think anything has soured, the Switch is just a better choice for an Indie dev at this moment becuase of the sheer amount of sales it generates.
@nessisonett Hey there, I've seen your avatar on this site for a while now throughout the year, and I can't help wondering every time where it's from/what it's about? So I've given in and decided to ask Please put me out my misery lol. I hope your New Year is better than 2020! Cheers!
@JayShaw It’s from my Spider-Man playthrough when my hard drive was on the blink and everyone’s faces were contorting during cutscenes! Poor Peter Parker’s face went all a bit wrong 😂😂
