Indie Live Expo had a super successful winter showcase, with a million-strong viewership, and now the team is preparing for its upcoming summer showcase, which will take place on May 20th and May 21st.

Here is what the team at INDIE Live Expo had to say about the recent and upcoming events.

“Ending 2022 on a strong note, INDIE Live Expo Winter 2022 amassed 16.32 million viewers while introducing more than 290 indie titles. Since its inception in 2020, INDIE Live Expo has cemented its position as Japan’s premiere online indie game event, reaching more than 70 million viewers and showcasing more than 1800 indie titles.

The third annual INDIE Live Expo award show also gave center stage to 2022’s best indies, handing out awards such as “Trailer of the Year” to Stray from Bluetwelve Studio and Annapurna Interactive, in addition to the “Short Story Award” as well as “Game of the Year” to Unpacking by Witch Beam and Humble Games.

With a goal of introducing more games to the public in as many languages as possible, the bilingual dynamo host “J-mon” will make his return to the upcoming summer showcase, and a new country will be highlighted during this summer’s “INDIE Studios Around The World” segment after Korean devs stepped into the spotlight in 2022.”
