Nintendo announces this week's scheduled IndieWorld Showcase broadcast – catch it here and know the timings
Fans of the highly-anticipated indie game Hollow Knight: Silksong have been eagerly waiting for an update on the game's progress. However, the much-awaited IndieWorld Showcase on August 7, 2025, failed to deliver any new information about the game.
The IndieWorld Showcase, which showcases indie games coming to both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, featured several exciting announcements and updates. Unfortunately, Hollow Knight: Silksong was not among them, leaving fans disappointed.
This continued a pattern of Silksong being anticipated for announcements but not appearing in recent Nintendo showcases in 2025. Despite this, fans remain hopeful that the game could potentially be featured in future showcases.
Interestingly, Hollow Knight: Silksong was briefly shown during the Nintendo Switch 2 showcase in April, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect. The game is being developed by Team Cherry and will be released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
The Nintendo Switch 2, although announced, is the company's least ambitious console to date. However, reports suggest that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Switch 2 Edition is an incredible upgrade.
The specific indie studios participating in the IndieWorld Showcase have not yet been confirmed. The event will last approximately 15 minutes and will be streamed on Nintendo's official YouTube and Twitch channels. To watch the showcase, you can follow this link: https://t.co/UqgwVI23d4.

In other news, Nintendo briefly opened a survey asking players their opinion on digital and physical games, possibly due to the controversy surrounding the Switch 2's Game Key Cards. The exact purpose of the survey remains unclear.
