If you're looking for something to take your mind off the current state of the world, the latest slate of indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch might just do the trick. As part of its recent Indie World Showcase, the gaming giant detailed more than a dozen forthcoming indie titles. And while we knew about a lot of them before today's presentation, most now have release windows -- with many of them coming to the Nintendo Switch first before any other platforms. We've highlighted some of the more notable ones below.
I Am Dead
The excellently named I Am Dead comes courtesy of the creators of Hohokum and Annapurna Interactive, the publisher of beloved indie gems like Florence, Sayonara Wild Hearts and Kentucky Route Zero. Despite its bright and colorful art style, I Am Dead sees you exploring the afterlife. According to Annapurna, the game is "coming soon" to the Nintendo Switch and PC.
Freakapocalypse
The Good Life
The Last Campfire
The Last Campfire is the latest game from Hello Games, the studio behind No Man's Sky. While it was first announced in 2018, we've heard relatively little about the project since then. But now we know you'll be able to play it this summer. Compared to the expansive world No Man's Sky offered, The Last Campfire looks like it will be a more handcrafted and personal experience.
