It’s been a little over a month since the Switch 2 launched and Nintendo’s ready to share more of the games coming to the console. This Nintendo Direct will be a short one, only 25-minutes long, and focused exclusively on third-party games.
It’s likely that Hades 2 will make an appearance. The game, out on PC in early access, got a huge update recently and it seems like a formal launch date announcement is imminent. We may also see some more of FromSoftware’s contributions to the platform, like the multiplayer game Duskbloods. And of course, the eternally patient Hollow Knight fans are once again pinning their hopes on this Direct finally being The One to reveal more Silksong.
With the Switch 2’s improved graphics and processing power, this third-party showcase might also contain some surprising technical additions to the console’s catalog like Call of Duty. We’ll find out more when the Nintendo partner direct starts at 9 AM ET.
Nintendo is ready to show off its partners.
At 9AM ET Nintendo is airing its next Direct showcase, but this time the focus will be on titles from third-party developers. Are we finally going to see Silksong again? You can watch it all live below.

Now that the Switch 2 is out, and the console’s biggest exclusives — Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza — are delighting fans, it’s time to see what else this thing can do. Nintendo’s hosting its next Direct presentation on Thursday, July 31st, bright and early at 9AM ET. You can watch the direct on YouTube here and, of course, in the Nintendo Today app.
According to Nintendo, the 25-minute presentation will be a partner showcase, focusing on third-party titles for the Switch and Switch 2. (Sorry, y’all are gonna have to wait a little longer for more news on Metroid Prime 4.)
