Nintendo’s most recent Indie World showcase aired in November 2023 and featured Switch games Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution, Backpack hero, Blade Chimera, Core keeper, and others. Nintendo didn’t say which indie games are expected to appear during Wednesday’s showcase, but expect the highly anticipated ones Hollow Knight: Silk Song could appear are higher than ever. The sequel of Team Cherry op Hollow Knight used to be recently rated by the Australian Rating Boardusually an indication that a game’s release is imminent.
It’s unlikely the company’s next console will launch at Indie World in April. “Switch 2” will reportedly release sometime in early 2025, and it’s possible we won’t hear official details about that next-gen console until summer or fall.
