The stealthiest confirmation of the Indie World Showcase
The short but sweet Nintendo Indie World Showcase gave us a deeper look at a small selection of Indie titles. Titles likeRift of the NecroDancerand the Dunkey-publishedAnimal Wellwere featured, but neither received specific release dates. This makes it incredibly humorous that one of the most anticipated Indie titles of the yeardidget a confirmed release date… as part of the ending montage.
That’s right, if you kept your eyes glued to the end, you might have seenBomb Rush Cyberfunkget a brief shoutout. Except instead of showing a “Q3” release date, the launch was confirmed for July 19, 2025. I have absolutely zero idea whyBomb Rush Cyberfunkdidn’t warrant a prominent feature during the Direct with this information. Everything shown looked good, but this isnews, dang it. Confirmation that we’ll get to play it this August is a big deal!
Making the situation even more humorous, Team Reptile uploaded a new trailer forBomb Rush Cyberfunkfollowing the Indie showcase. This would have been a perfectly exciting way to end the stream, but at least we have the footage now to enjoy.
Quibbles about the handling of the announcement aside, I’m glad to see a release date nailed down here.Bomb Rush Cyberfunkimmediately turned heads with itsJet Set Radioinfluence,which we happen to like a lot around here. Considering the Indie in questionalready faced a delay,hard confirmation shows the game’s development is right on track. I can’t wait to try this title, especially if the final product lives up tothe footage we’ve seen.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunkwill release on PC, Mac, Linux, and the Nintendo Switch.
