One of the biggest video game companies is looking to close a chapter by announcing a new Nintendo Direct for tomorrow. This event will only communicate new announcements regarding third-party titles coming to the console.
From the start, the company said there would be no mention of the Switch 2 or its launch date. This Partner Direct represents the final chance for this major Japanese platform holder to showcase the final games set for release on this console prior to the grand unveiling of its successor.
There Was No News Regarding the Switch 2 During the Latest Nintendo Direct
This year, Nintendo chose to maintain a much lower profile regarding announcements and releases. According to the company’s own statements, it is primarily preparing for the announcement of the Switch 2, which is expected to arrive sometime next year.
This Partner Direct will only showcase third-party games, taking advantage of the lack of announcements in the context of Gamescom, which ended a few days ago.
Users on platforms such as Reddit are debating the upcoming announcements and the company’s preparations for the final major releases prior to the announcement of the successor.
Some have even speculated that in the coming months, before the year ends, there will be a Nintendo Direct that reveals some information about this console. However, the company continues to insist on not mentioning it at this time.
Will This Partner Direct Have Any Surprises?
Obviously, as often happens at these events, and as many fans hope, there is speculation about the presence of Hollow Knight Silksong, a game that has practically become a meme in the industry.
Nintendo has not confirmed any specific titles for this Partner Direct, which will take place tomorrow, August 27 at 7 a.m. PT. But this company always manages to surprise its fans, at least a little. Speculation on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) suggests that this could be the penultimate major Nintendo event before the year ends.
In the last Direct that took place, there were some pretty significant announcements, such as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, a title where players will control the princess with very original mechanics. The end of next month will see the release of this highly anticipated title of the year.
The company itself has made it clear that there will be no updates about the Switch 2 under any circumstances, delaying the announcement for months.
The company is very reserved about this successor, but at the same time, this helps to avoid baseless speculation by experts while keeping investors at ease. One of the major games expected to be released on this console is Metroid Prime 4, which was announced earlier this year.
