Rumor: Another Microsoft Title To Be Announced At Indie World For Switch, Other Titles Expected To Shadow Drop

As Nintendo Switch users are still adjusting to rephrasing the Nindies to Indie World from the company’s rebranding announcement last week, it seems a few pieces of information regarding the first presentation with the new name might possibly have slipped through the cracks.

According to video game Analyst Daniel “zhugeEZ” Ahmad, the approaching showcase that will be going live tomorrow morning will supposedly be announcing yet another Microsoft title for Nintendo’s latest platform.

Currently, two titles from Microsoft’s neck of the woods have made its way to the Nintendo eShop: Studio MDHR’s Cuphead and Playful Corp’s Super Lucky’s Tale. Especially looking at the relationship that the two console giants currently hold between one another, it would not be surprising that more games will be added to that mix. With the limited titles that are available on the Xbox One’s library, fans have already projected to see Ori and the Blind Forest be announced at tomorrow’s presentation.

Adding on to Ahmad’s statement, he shares that more titles are said to be revealed as well; with some even being shadow dropped tomorrow. “Two games will be shadow dropped. Both games are Hot. We’ll also get solid 2019 release dates for Creature in the Well, Blasphemous, Northgard, Trine 4, One Finger Death Punch 2, Skellboy and a few others.” Deciphering from the analyst’s emphasis on “Hot,” it looks that he is referencing Superhot and Hotline Miami which have both recently been leaked for the Nintendo Switch.

Earlier this year Rectify Gaming was able to demo a few of the rumored titles that will be introduced at tomorrow’s Indie World showcase. You can read our coverage for both Skellboy as well as One Finger Death Punch 2.

Looking at Ahmad’s presence in the industry regarding previous rumors, it is encouraged to take his statements more likely to be true than other anonymous users. However, while this is a rumor, it is still best to stay hesitant until properly announced.

The Indie World presentation will be going live tomorrow on August 19^th at 9 AM EST / 6 AM PST.
