Nintendo has announced a new Indie World Showcase for October 28, 2026, continuing the company's regular live presentations spotlighting independent games for its platforms.

The short-format presentation is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m.

PT and run for approximately 15 minutes, and Nintendo confirmed it will include announcements and updates for indie titles coming to both Nintendo Switch and the newly released Switch 2.

In a social post from Nintendo of America, the company announced the date and time and advised viewers to tune in for roughly 15 minutes of new indie-related news.

Nintendo provided a link to its official stream in the same post.

The timing of the Indie World Showcase coincides with other Nintendo activity: the presentation is set to air one day before the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 40th Anniversary Zelda Edition, which launches on October 29, 2026.

That scheduling places the indie-focused stream immediately ahead of a high-profile hardware launch tied to Nintendo's long-running Zelda franchise.

Indie World Showcases have become a regular part of Nintendo's event calendar for highlighting third-party and independent developers releasing on Nintendo platforms.

This edition will explicitly cover software for both the established Nintendo Switch and the newer Switch 2 hardware, reflecting Nintendo's ongoing support for indie developers across its current console family and its digital storefront, the Nintendo eShop.

The presentation's brief runtime suggests a compact slate of announcements and updates; Nintendo's statement indicates the showcase will mix new reveals with status updates for previously announced projects.

Fans and industry watchers can expect the stream to be available via Nintendo's official channels and to be indexed on platform pages and the eShop for follow-up information.

Nintendo has used Indie World presentations to spotlight a wide range of indie titles, from small experimental projects to larger third-party releases.

This October showcase will be the latest instance of that effort, offering developers a short-form platform to reach Nintendo's audience on both Switch platforms.

Keep an eye on Nintendo's channels at 7 a.m.

PT on October 28 for the full Indie World Showcase and subsequent updates to game listings on the Nintendo eShop.
