Nintendo has announced an Indie World Showcase presentation for this week, featuring updates and announcements on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.

The indie games presentation follows last week's Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase that featured updates from third-party developers on Switch and Switch 2 games coming in 2025 and beyond.

The Indie World Showcase presentation will take place on Thursday, August 7 at 6 am PT (6.30 pm IST). It will be roughly 15 minutes long and will feature new announcements and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, the company said.

Nintendo did not share details about the games that will feature at the showcase, but fans have started speculating the event may finally bring an update on the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong. The action-platformer is set to launch before Holiday 2025, but developer Team Cherry has not confirmed a release date.

Last week, Nintendo's global publishing and development partners shared updates on upcoming Switch and Switch 2 games at Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase. The presentation saw the reveal of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, the next entry in the Monster Hunter Stories series; an update on Switch 2 versions of EA Sports Madden NFL 26 and EA Sports FC 26; Switch 2 announcements for Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Yakuza Kiwami, and more.
