The new Indie World Showcase will be “roughly 20 minutes” long according to Nintendo and will feature announcements and updates on indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2024.

The game was announced in February 2019 and fans have been eagerly awaiting news for its release for years now. Recently, the game received an official Xbox store page and was also rated in Korea, sparking theories that the game could launch soon, perhaps this year.
The last we heard of Hollow Knight: Silksong was back in 2022, where the most recent trailer debuted as part of the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase event. It’s been confirmed that the game will launch on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, as well as Xbox Game Pass.
