Nintendo has officially revealed its full lineup for Gamescom 2025, and this year’s showcase is shaping up to be one of the company’s biggest yet. For the first time, players will be able to get hands-on time with several highly anticipated titles running on the upcoming Switch 2 hardware.

Among the standout announcements is Hollow Knight: Silksong, finally making its public playable debut after years of anticipation. Fans will be able to experience the long-awaited follow-up to Team Cherry’s acclaimed metroidvania in person, giving a clearer glimpse at its refined movement, expanded combat, and larger interconnected world.

In a major surprise, Elden Ring will also be playable on the Switch 2 for the first time. This marks a significant moment for Nintendo hardware, as FromSoftware’s sprawling open-world RPG arrives in a fully optimized form tailored to the new system’s capabilities. Attendees will be able to explore a slice of The Lands Between, complete with the same sense of scale and challenge found on other platforms.

Square Enix is bringing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to the show as well, letting fans see how the iconic reimagining performs on Nintendo’s next-generation handheld-console hybrid. Early impressions will no doubt focus on how the game balances visual fidelity with smooth performance in portable and docked modes.

Beyond these headline titles, Nintendo confirmed that several other Switch 2 projects will be on display, including new first-party offerings and as-yet-unannounced games from third-party partners. The company is expected to provide more details during its Gamescom presentation, which will be streamed online for global audiences.

With Silksong, Elden Ring, and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade headlining the line-up, Nintendo is clearly positioning the Switch 2 as a competitive platform for both indie darlings and major AAA experiences. For fans attending the show in Cologne, this year’s booth is shaping up to be a must-visit stop on the Gamescom floor.

Seeing Silksong and Elden Ring on Switch 2 finally feels surreal. 2025’s about to be wild.
