Nintendo is back with another rapid-fire presentation: the Nintendo Indie World Showcase is scheduled to air today, August 7, at 6:00 a.m. PDT / 9:00 a.m. EDT. Clocking in at just 15 minutes, the showcase is expected to feature a flurry of new and upcoming indie game reveals for both Nintendo Switch and the highly anticipated Switch 2.
A Compact Yet Promising Lineup
While Nintendo hasn’t revealed any specific titles ahead of time, recent speculation suggests updates on fan-favorite indies like Hollow Knight: Silksong, SteamWorld Heist II, and Sea of Stars follow-ups. These short-form showcases often pack in a surprising number of announcements, from shadow drops to first reveals.
Focus on Switch 2 Transition
This marks one of the first Indie Worlds where developers might start openly transitioning toward Switch 2-compatible titles. With the hybrid console rumored for a 2025 release, today’s showcase could offer a glimpse into how the indie scene is adapting to new hardware expectations.
