Nintendo Indie World Showcase Set for August 7: New Announcements for Switch and Switch 2

Nintendo fans can mark their calendars for another highly anticipated event, as the company has officially announced a new Indie World Showcase, set to air on August 7, 2025, at 6 AM Pacific Time.

This broadcast, announced via Nintendo of America’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, promises about 15 minutes of fresh announcements and updates centered on indie games coming to both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. The Indie World Showcase is a recurring digital presentation designed to spotlight the vibrant and ever-expanding lineup of independent games available on Nintendo’s platforms.

With the last mainline Nintendo Direct still on the horizon, these showcases have become a key way for the company to maintain momentum and engage its dedicated fanbase.

The August 2025 broadcast underscores Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to the indie developer community, providing a prime stage for both brand-new and upcoming releases. According to Nintendo’s public statement, viewers can expect, “approximately 15 minutes of new announcements and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.” This concise yet content-rich format has proven popular, offering developers visibility while keeping the pace brisk for viewers.

Fans are encouraged to tune in live via the official Nintendo YouTube channel or through the links provided on social media platforms. Industry watchers will be keeping a close eye on which titles receive updates during this presentation.

While Nintendo has not confirmed any specific games ahead of time, anticipation is especially high for news on eagerly awaited projects such as 'Hollow Knight: Silksong.' The Indie World Showcase format typically features a blend of world premieres, release date announcements, and developer interviews that shine a light on the creative talent behind indie studios. Nintendo Switch, first released in March 2017, continues to serve as a vital platform for indie titles, with thousands of games made available on the Nintendo eShop over the years.

The impending launch of Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to broaden opportunities for developers, and this showcase may give players a first look at indie projects optimized for the next-generation hardware. This Indie World event follows a proven formula for Nintendo, allowing the company to engage with its passionate audience and promote a diverse range of games outside its first-party portfolio.
