Nintendo's Indie World Showcase returns in 2025 with exciting new indie titles coming to both Switch and Switch 2. Here's everything revealed about the upcoming event's schedule and announcements.
Indie World Showcase 2025 Official Details
Event Premieres August 7, 2025 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET
The showcase will broadcast on August 7, 2025 at 6:00 AM PDT / 9:00 AM EDT. This 15-minute presentation will stream on Nintendo's official YouTube and Twitch channels worldwide.
2025 Showcase Expectations
Focus Remains on Independent Titles
While partnered with Nintendo, the event will primarily highlight indie games coming to Switch platforms. Though Nintendo has major projects like Metroid Prime 4 in development, this showcase will likely feature third-party indie creations.
Potential surprise appearances could include anticipated indies like Witchbrook, Haunted Chocolatier, and the elusive Hollow Knight: Silksong, though nothing has been officially confirmed.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Hopes Rekindled
After missing July's Nintendo Direct, fans wonder if Silksong might appear at this event. While unconfirmed, the timing could be ideal ahead of its planned Gamescom 2025 demo and eventual release.
Hades 2 Nears Completion
Supergiant Games' sequel has entered final development stages, with its recent "Unseen Update" being the last major patch before v1.0. The showcase could potentially reveal its launch date, given its planned Switch/Switch 2 release.
