A Nintendo Direct focused on third-party games is taking place on July 31

It’s almost time for another Nintendo Direct. A showcase of games from Nintendo’s partners that are coming to the Nintendo Switch and/or Switch 2 is set for 9AM ET on July 31. The stream will run for around 25 minutes and you can watch it above when the time is right.

This is a partner showcase, so you probably shouldn’t expect to find out release dates for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or Kirby Air Riders here. Instead, we’ll hear about projects from third-party studios and publishers.

Maybe we’ll finally get some details about Call of Duty games coming to Nintendo platforms, something Microsoft said would happen when it signed a pact with the company a couple of years back. And then, of course, there’s the small matter of Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Yeah, yeah, we bring this game up every time one of these ...
