All the Switch announcements from the Wired Direct
Yay, we love a good stream, especially when it shows off updates and announcements for new Switch games. That’s what we’ll get in the Wired Direct, back for 2024 following the success of the inaugural showcase in 2021, and it’s packed with plenty of information.
The Direct went live at 8pm BST / 12pm PST / 3pm EDT on April 23, 2024. You can catch the full stream right here on YouTube. The show has plenty of exclusive trailers, some friendly faces, and, of course, new indie games.
Here are all the announcements coming to Switch and mobile platforms:
Gori: Cuddly Carnage
First up, we got a release date announcement for Angry Demon Studio’s Gori: Cuddly Carnage. The adorable hack-and-slash game releases on Switch on August 29, 2024, letting us roll around on a hoverboard as a cat… while clawing things to death.
Deliver Us The Moon
Buckle up and grab your space suit – Deliver Us The Moon is coming to Switch later this year. It’s already a popular title on other major platforms since release in 2019, but now, us Switch users can jump into the survival game ourselves.
Mental Health Game Dev Champions
Wired announced plans with Safe in Our World, a video games-centered mental health charity. The charity is holding the Mental Health Game Dev Champions 2024, where Safe in Our World seeks to amplify voices of the community.
