Gamers are in for a treat as Nintendo has announced an upcoming Indie World Showcase scheduled for April 17th, promising roughly 20 minutes of juicy updates and announcements on indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2024. While you shouldn't hold your breath for news on major franchises like Zelda or Mario, or even hints about a potential Switch 2, there's still plenty to be excited about. The spotlight this time is on smaller titles, but that doesn't rule out significant updates. For example, fans eagerly anticipating Hollow Knight: Silksong are hopeful for an elusive release date reveal. The Showcase can be accessed via Nintendo's YouTube channel, making it readily available for Nintendo enthusiasts and indie game lovers.

When is the Nintendo Indie World Showcase taking place and where can it be watched?

The Nintendo Indie World Showcase is set for April 17th and can be watched on the official Nintendo YouTube channel at 15:00 UK time, which translates to 16:00 for other regions.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is the highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight, a critically acclaimed indie platformer developed by Team Cherry. The original game, released in 2017, won over fans with its challenging gameplay, intricate exploration, and beautifully haunting art style. Although Hollow Knight: Silksong does not have an official release date yet, fans are hoping for new information during the Indie World Showcase, as the game has been teased since February 2019, building up a significant amount of anticipation within the gaming community.
