Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct set to be aired this week, after weeks of speculation and rumors of a presentation for Switch and Switch 2 games. The Direct is a Partner Showcase Direct, which typically features games from third-party developers and not from Nintendo itself, but that doesn't mean it's likely to be dull. There are likely hundreds of games in development for the Switch 2, and we've only just scratched the surface.

Bandai Namco In this handy guide we've put together everything you need to know about the upcoming Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, including how and where to watch the Nintendo Direct and what to expect from the Partner Showcase presentation. When Does the Nintendo Direct Start? The Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase will take place at 9:00am ET on July 31, 2025. This means that it should take place on July 31 in most regions, with only New Zealand's time zone slipping into August 1. Here's when you can watch the Nintendo Direct in your time zone: PDT – 6:00am CDT – 8:00am EDT – 9:00am BRT – 10:00am BST – 2:00pm CEST – 3:00pm IST – 6:30pm CST – 9:00pm JST/KST – 10:00pm AEST – 11:00pm NZST – 1:00am (August 1) What Will Be in the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase? Nintendo says that the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase will last for approximately 25 minutes, and will contain information on upcoming Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 games from third-party developers and publishers. Join us for a #NintendoDirect Partner Showcase tomorrow, July 31, at 6am PT! Tune in for roughly 25 minutes of information on upcoming #NintendoSwitch2 and #NintendoSwitch games from our publishing partners. Watch here: — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) July 30, 2025 There are a number of third-party games that have previously been announced that we can probably expect to get release dates, such as Elden Ring, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam. Hollow Knight: Silksong may also make an appearance, especially given recent news that a demo for the game will be playable at Gamescom on the recently announced Xbox handheld. Newly announced third-party games will almost certainly make an appearance, too, though those are definitely harder to predict. Sega, Square Enix, and Bandai Namco are all strong supporters of Nintendo hardware historically, as is Ubisoft. We're also expecting a Call of Duty game on Switch 2 at some point in the future — but it's probably too early to be betting on that. How to Watch the Nintendo Direct The Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase will stream live on YouTube, Twitch, and in the Nintendo Today app. You can watch the YouTube stream below, which we've embedded for ease of use.

Elden Ring Nightreign collector's edition revealed: $200 gets you 24 centimeters of hero and a proper artbook, or drop $190 for another fancy helmet
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Elden Ring Nightreign publisher Bandai Namco has unveiled a suite of collector's edition-style swag bags for hardcore FromSoft fans to splurge on. Elden Ring Nightreign costs $39.99 at base (physical copies only available for PS5 and Xbox Series X), with a $54.99 digital deluxe edition bundling in a digital artbook and soundtrack plus a DLC that is already in development. The DLC will add new areas, bosses, and playable characters when it eventually arrives. The Elden Ring Nightreign collector's edition proper is a $199.99 package that comes with everything in the digital deluxe edition plus a steelbook case, hardcover artbook, miscellaneous in-game collectibles, and for the crown jewel, a 24-centimeter statue of Wylder, one of the playable Elden Ring Nightreign characters. Separately, a $189.99 Elden Ring Nightreign helmet – again, a replica of Wylder – will be available a la carte. You're just paying for the helmet here; the game is not included. This near-life-size bit of merch lines up with the Malenia and Messmer helmets released for Elden Ring and its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. As we said in our Elden Ring Nightreign preview, FromSoftware's weirdest game yet is shaping up to be an absurd but fun experiment that feels like a mod in the best way. It's a co-op roguelike where you assemble boss-killing Elden Ring builds on the fly while racing against the timer of a battle royale-style fog wall. It's weird! We've played it for a few hours now, and we'd certainly like to play more. Elden Ring Nightreign beta codes are finally being sent out, but many PS5 and Xbox Series X players are reporting the same issue – they've seemingly got access to the wrong platform.
