Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase broadcast announced for this week

It's now confirmed: a fresh Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase presentation will air this week, featuring updates on Switch and Switch 2 games from third-party publishers.

Nintendo announced the broadcast on social media today, and confirmed the show will last 25 minutes.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow, Thursday July 31 at 6am Pacific / 9am Eastern / 2pm UK time — and, as ever, IGN will be reporting on all of the announcements as they happen.

With Switch 2 launched, alongside Mario Kart World and brilliant new platformer Donkey Kong Bananza, attention now turns to the rest of the new console's first year on sale — and support from the platform's third-party publishers.

As a Partner Showcase event, tomorrow's broadcast will likely feature no new games from Nintendo itself. Instead, be on the lookout for more news on games coming from other publishers. Switch 2 already has solid support, with upcoming big hitters such as Borderlands 4 and 007 First Light previously confirmed for the platform. But what else might tomorrow bring?

Could we see more of Hollow Knight Silksong, perhaps, before its playable demo at Gamescom — and maybe even get a release date? Will FromSoftware show more of its Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods, set for arrival in 2026?

Time, and also this Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, will tell. See you tomorrow!
