The next Nintendo Direct will be a Partner Showcase livestream on July 31, 2025, beginning at 9 AM Eastern Time and running for approximately 25 minutes. The presentation will focus exclusively on titles from Nintendo’s external publishing partners for both the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2 platforms. Nintendo will make the broadcast available through its official channels, including its YouTube and Twitch pages.

This partner-focused format means first-party announcements—such as release dates for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or Kirby Air Riders—are not expected. Instead, the spotlight will fall on third-party projects, with particular attention on Call of Duty entries slated for Nintendo systems under Microsoft’s publishing agreement and the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, which remains one of the most anticipated releases this year and will be playable at Gamescom next month. Viewers will be watching closely for any firm release details during this 25-minute showcase.
