Following hot off the heels of last week’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, the gaming giant has announced an Indie World Showcase that’s set to take place on August 7, later this week. According to the announcement post, there’ll be “roughly 15 minutes of new announcements and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.” The showcase is set to premiere at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET, and you’ll be able to check it out on any of the official Nintendo YouTube channels.
This marks the first Indie World Showcase following the launch of the Switch 2 in June, but it’s not exactly clear what might show up. Just don’t go expecting Hollow Knight: Silksong–that game, which was absent from last week’s Partner Showcase, could appear in a traditional Nintendo Direct rather than the more low-key Indie events, as it’s widely anticipated. The first Switch 2 Direct even featured it as part of a sizzle reel back in April.
The last Indie World Nintendo held was an entire year ago, which featured announcements like DLC for Sea of Stars, collaborations coming to Balatro, a Shrek pack for PowerWash Simulator, and a surprise drop for Pizza Tower.
Last week’s Partner Showcase featured announcements like a new Monster Hunter Stories, a new Katamari, a Persona 3 Reload port, another look at Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a new Octopath Traveler, and a lot more.
