Overview

  • Organizers and press published the full Wholesome Direct lineup after the broadcast, listing more than 50 small and mid‑sized games featured in the showcase.
  • Developer and publisher announcements confirmed Go‑Go Town! will reach full Version 1.0 on July 16 and will be released on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
  • Fields of Mistria was slated to exit Steam Early Access with a full Version 1.0 release on August 1, ending a multi‑year Early Access run.
  • Hidden Folks 2 was unveiled as a sequel planned for 2027 on mobile and PC, and several new narrative and expansion projects were shown, including a side‑scrolling title from a Sable co‑creator.
