The heart of the Summer Game Fest is beginning to come to an end. For a few days, announcements and presentations followed one another with varying degrees of enthusiasm. This year, which seems to be the calm before the storm that will be 2025, has not given rise to any major revelations. If Xbox was the master of this event, it is clear that many games and information were missing, and the same goes for PlayStation. But where has Nintendo?
If we are to believe the leaks and rumors, the company should soon show up. And we learn this in a more than strange way. GameSpot, a media specialized in video games, published a few hours ago the trailer of a DLC of Among Us. This was in fact a mistake since the video was removed almost immediately. It turns out that the latter should not have be shown before June 18th.
According to information gathered by Internet users, it seems that the DLC in question had planned to shadowdrop (release without warning) on the day of the announcement. This therefore leads us to believe that the Nintendo Direct will take place on June 18th, the date on which Among Us players will also be able to enjoy a little surprise... which is no longer so surprising.

Of course, none of this has been confirmed by Nintendo or Innersloth, the studio behind the indie game, so we have to be careful before making it official in the Nintendo Direct.
What will the studio be showing?
The bad news is that Nintendo may not have much to say. We already know that the June Nintendo Direct will not be dedicated to the next Nintendo Switch 2. The company had warned us several weeks ago that the console would be mentioned before March 2025 and that the summer presentation would focus on upcoming games.
Unfortunately, it seems that no big games are expected in the coming months. Nintendo, like all other manufacturers, is saving itself for the release of its next consoles. A machine must always have flagship games, which serve as a technological showcase for its launch. We therefore do not imagine Nintendo revealing its most beautiful weapons before even having presented what the war will be made of.
It is nevertheless possible that we will have news of several titles already released. Among Us and its next updates content update is part of it, but we also think about the next Professor Layton that we are patiently waiting for, or the future Pokémon opus.
