All the news from Nintendo’s July 2025 Direct showcase

It’s been a little over a month since the Switch 2 launched, and Nintendo’s ready to share more of the games coming to the console. Today’s Nintendo Direct presentation will be a short one at only 25 minutes long, and focused exclusively on third-party games.

It’s likely that Hades 2 will make an appearance. The game, out on PC in early access, got a huge update recently, and it seems like a formal launch date announcement is imminent. We may also see some more of FromSoftware’s contributions to the platform, like the multiplayer game Duskbloods. And of course, the eternally patient Hollow Knight fans are once again pinning their hopes on this Direct finally being The One to reveal more Silksong.

With the Switch 2’s improved graphics and processing power, this third-party showcase might also contain some surprising technical additions to the console’s catalog, like Call of Duty. We’ll find out more when the Nintendo Partner Direct starts at 9 AM ET.
