Well, gamers, while Nintendo has confirmed the time and date of the showcase, the company still hasn’t exactly revealed what’s coming this time. One thing’s for sure, though; it’s going to be filled with announcements coming from various kinds of game developers.
While we’re likely to get new game announcements, let’s not forget that there are tons of Switch games in the works that haven’t received updates in quite a while. Right at the top of this list is FromSoftware’s Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, alongside the brand-new console exclusive dubbed The Duskbloods.
Not only that, but Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales and Professor Lay are some of the most hyped upcoming games. However, let’s hope we also get to hear about some new ports for games such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Final Fantasy 16. This is going to be an absolutely banger of a showcase, so make sure that you don’t miss out on it!
