Fresh off last week`s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Nintendo has announced an upcoming Indie World Showcase scheduled for this Thursday, August 7th. This presentation is expected to last approximately 15 minutes, featuring new announcements and updates for indie games headed to both the Nintendo Switch and the recently launched Nintendo Switch 2. Fans can tune into the showcase at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET on any of Nintendo`s official YouTube channels.
This event marks the first Indie World Showcase since the Nintendo Switch 2`s debut in June. While the exact lineup remains under wraps, it`s advisable not to anticipate seeing Hollow Knight: Silksong. This highly anticipated title, which was notably absent from last week`s Partner Showcase, is more likely to appear in a standard Nintendo Direct rather than these more focused Indie events, especially given its inclusion in a sizzle reel during the initial Switch 2 Direct back in April.
The last Nintendo Indie World presentation took place a year ago, bringing news of additions such as DLC for Sea of Stars, new collaborations for Balatro, a Shrek content pack for PowerWash Simulator, and the surprise release of Pizza Tower.
Meanwhile, last week`s Partner Showcase delivered several key announcements, including a new Monster Hunter Stories game, an update on Katamari, a port of Persona 3 Reload, another glimpse at Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and a new Octopath Traveler entry, among other reveals.
