— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) April 16, 2024 As with previous Indie World Showcases, the event will be roughly 20 minutes and will feature news and updates focused on indie games heading to the Nintendo Switch. The last Nintendo Indie World Showcase was held in November; some of the announcements from that event included a Switch port of Outer Wilds, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution, and On Your Tail.
Though Nintendo did not tease or specify which indie games would appear this time around, many fans hope that Team Cherry will finally unveil a release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2017 game Hollow Knight, was announced back in 2019, but in the years since, Team Cherry has provided minimal updates on when fans can expect the project to release.
Last year, Nintendo had a presence at Gamescom, where the company reportedly revealed and demoed a successor to the Nintendo Switch behind closed doors. Though Nintendo has yet to announce a successor to the Switch, rumors suggest the new hardware has been delayed until next year.
